#What Makes A Male Cat Spray In
15-lizards · 3 days
Text
Friend was making me watch dance moms and I was relieving my ballerina days so here’s an ASOIAF dance studio AU for the soul
-Sansa is definitely one of the best at her studio she is the Lyrical queeennnn. One of the few competition dance girls who trains in ballet and is actually good at it. She doesn’t have insane flexibility but her technique is peak and she’s great at turn sequences. Always very consistent and stable. Gets mad when they have hip hop pieces cause she’s not good at it. Likes recitals more than competitions because she can do ballet more, tends to like the French style. Hair always sprayed and smoothed into a perfect bun even if she’s just going to class, not a single flyaway to be seen. Keeps a neat dance bag that she keeps her entire life in.
-Arya is only in there because Cat thought it would be cute to have the girls dance together. Immediately got proven wrong but she already paid for the full year so. DESPISES the slow ballet and contemporary pieces. Is a fucking prodigal jumper she can do switch leaps, ariels, toe touches, literally anything. Which means she likes the upbeat jazz and hip hop numbers wayyy more. Never has a neat bun it’s a miracle it can be tamed when she goes on stage. All of her tights have runs and rips up the sides. Stains on her leotard. Brings a Gatorade to class instead of a water and gets yelled at for it. Hides in the bathroom during ballet class.
-Dany has pretty good technique, nothing standout, but makes up for everything with her energy and facials. She’s got definite potential, but is unrefined. Pretty muscular and short because she used to do gymnastics. Really likes to try anything. Ballet, lyrical, jazz, contemporary, acro, hip hop, truly everything. Consistently places third in competitions, which pisses everyone else off because they think her technique isn’t very strong, and pisses her off because she wants to place first for once. Is currently working her ass off at the barre to focus on her basic technique, is improving at a rapid pace. Dance bag smells like actual ass, you can find probably anything in there though. Doesn’t wear any padding in her pointe shoes bc she’s kind of a psychopath.
-Marg is the top girl 100% she’s the teachers favorite. Every lead role and center position is hers. Sansa’s biggest competition but they’re such good friends and so nice to each other neither of them really cares. Focuses mostly on a slower Russian style of ballet, perfect for her long legs and arms. Every move is just so intentional and perfectly placed, she flows so well from step to step. Definitely is getting countless offers from academies, professional companies, and summer programs. Alwaysss has the cutest most expensive leotards and skirts. Makes sure to pull some of her curls out of her bun to frame her face. Makeup on during class that she somehow never sweats off. Usually super sweet but tends to be passive aggressive to other studios at competitions.
-Cersei who runs the rival studio, used to be a famous competition dancer, excelled at lyrical and contemporary. Makes all of her dancers take rigorous ballet, even if they’re just competition dancers, super adamant ab ballet as the basis for everything else. Notoriously insane with a hair trigger temper, but parents keep paying out the ass for her to train their kids because she produces results. Probably throws things if you fall out of a turn. Makes kids do pushups if they miss a step. Coddles Joff, Myrcella, and Tommen though, makes sure they always get good spots and roles. Jamie’s there to teach partnering sometimes but he always looks miserable and smells like cigarettes.
-Joffery is one of those insufferable tweens who gets special attention bc he’s a guy, a rare species in the dance world. But what’s even more infuriating is that he’s really good. Great flexibility, and focuses on big jumps and turns like most male ballet dancers do. Genuinely an enrapturing performer but never has any patience for his pas de deux partners, blames it on her if she gets dropped. A mean gay but no one’s really sure if he’s gay or not. Has a posse of tween girls that make fun of everyone not in their clique. Makes snide comments at the barre. Ridiculously cocky even when he falls out of his turns. Barges into the girls dressing room without asking. Demon child.
Bonus: Robb who has to take it because the football team needs to work on their balance or whatever. Really enjoys it actually and will defend it when Theon calls it gay. But don’t ask Theon why he kept staring every time Robb started stretching at the barre

the feeling when
03 for shits and giggles (0.6kwords)
You couldn't help but shake out the nerves once again. Steadying your own heartbeat, you release a long breath. You should have been used to it by now. Having met your group members months ago, TXT a day ago and NewJeans an hour ago. Nonetheless, here you are easing your stiff smile, preparing to meet another group. "Why do you look so nervous? These guys aren't scary trust me."
"Chaewon, I have to look friendly okay?" you replied quickly.
"You mean normal?" earning a side eye from you, her chuckle was short-lived. "Okay but what would looking friendly even do?" she raised her brow at your questionable logic.
"Make me seem likeable at least? " Chaewon's lips parted, about to comment at your words when you hear commotions outside the door. Your attention falls on the increasing sounds until the door is opening, revealing three males. You think you know which group they belong in, but you were never into boy groups to confidently name them.
"It's you guys huh" Chaewon's voice brings you back to earth
"You're not new!" The shorter male quickly snorts back
"It's not me, smart ass." Chaewon scoffs. She takes your hand and pulls you closer. "It's her. This is y/n"
"Well, nice to meet you y/n. I'm Jungwon. Enhypen's leader" Jungwon reach out his hands which you shook. "If you ever need a better leader for advice, always look for me"
"I'll spray you with water you cat boy" You hear Chaewon behind you, making you laugh
"I'm Sunoo!" the other boy beams. You already feel at ease with how friendly they were. With the weight slipping off your shoulder, you turn to the quiet blonde. Undifferenced by his silence, he's stood unmoving. Unsure of how you approach the blonde, you let yourself think about it while studying his face. He was good looking, really good looking. Your thinking must've been too long when you see the heat rising from his cheeks and a quick nibble on his bottom lip.
"Are you okay" Sunoo laughs, tapping the older boy’s arm
Jake was not okay.
The moment he stepped into the practice room and briefly met eye with you who was a few steps away from him, with a glint of sparkle in your eyes and a smile seemingly crafted yet effortlessly so captivating — he was breathless. Jake didn’t know your name or what you sounded like even but just staring at your pretty face was enough for him to be rendered speechless throughout your interaction with the younger boys.
“Hi?” You gently smiled, making his heart race
Jake tried his ultimate best to stare into your eyes even though it was incredibly intimidating to do so at that moment, “Hi.”
"I'm Y/N" You squeaked at the sight of him, his cute tinted cheeks and puffy lips looking so adorable.
"I'm uh- no my...Jake" Silence fills the room. Did he just forget his name?
One moment, he’s standing in front of you, next to Jungwon and Sunoo. Half a second later, he’s turning out of the door with great urgency.
Jungwon blinks, mouth parted in confusion but no sound leaves. It takes him a minute to absorb the situation at hand. Finally, mouthing, “What the fuck was that?”
The confusion one floor and two hallways away was no better. A hand over his pounding heart, Jake could feel the irregular heartbeat through the thick layer of his jumper. Jake is suddenly aware of his burning neck and ears from the encounter. There’s an exhilarating feeling in his guts, butterflies swarming in his stomach. He can vaguely hear Jungwon call his name in the background as he exits the room.
What was happening?!

I have request on sukuna as a warlord and potions maker witch reader
Sukuna invaded a village to add to his kingdom yet he found a shop that sells potion the shopkeeper is anything then what he expected like the reader is more different from any women/concubine been with
Story short sukuna starts to buy/ take from her potions on cursed energy or strength or healing potions.......ex in exchange for protection and money sukuna provide for the witch
Like she is bold and fearless yet seems odd or cunning/mysterious yet very hothead woman because she is always silent and prefers her isolation he always be wondering the forest alone which annoy sukuna he thinks she is reckless and stuff (the boy start to be very protective in way)
then act like mocha he doesn't care or give dam but is head over heels for reader you know~
Anyway I think sukuna would be very taunting or mocking to the reader as woman like he like to remind her
her place to him (maggot/worm/in bed/very misogynistic words.....) reader stays quiet because she isn't in the mood to spray her clean walls red (reader is part demon too/yet hide her powers to control them)
Yet sukuna stalks and follows her every day in defense he doesn't trust she won't sell her potions to other sorcerers uraume with him too sometimes they take turns to watch her uraume would spy on everything she does to inform her lord secretly enjoy to watch reader too
Reader does treat sukuna with coldness and indifference (slightly sukuna relaxed of it because it reminds him of how his mom used to treat him...... yeah I have headcanon in my head the sukuna loves tough love to even toxic)
Sukuna would be thinking is already in dating the shopkeeper hell probably think he owns THE SHOP TOO like boy would possessed reader and her stuff not mention his jealousy when male costumers come in he would watch like hawk ready to strike
But mostly I think reader well deal with him as if he is a big cat like she sees him cat he needs love and pets like so doesn't take him seriously yet do have admiration to his strength and mindset as she thought he would be another buff freak sukuna isn't like any man she me (which is the same to sukuna) she admit it to sukuna one time sukuna was red like tomatoes for 3 hours straight ~
I think about the festival in which the witch reader changes and wears a very beautiful red kimono the would make sukuna not stop staring at her for all night but noticed how upset reader is when he ask reader tell him her date didn't come like he promised (unknown to her sukuna had eaten the man ........)
Yeah a intimate night afterwards not to mention she isn't going out from his room without permission~
Darling, you've already written the request!! The ideas here are really solid, they just need a little bit of love to become something amazing!! You should link me when you right the full fic, I'd be so happy to read it <3

(Using the askbox for conlanging discussion for once so the whole blog sees.)
So, like, for base Clanmew do we want specific words for queer identities or nah? I'm leaning towards no, I feel like much how you've said it before with neurodivergence the cats would describe behaviors and wouldn't really equate it with being you know?
BUT it's gay month and I think the audience would appreciate it. Throw them a little thing to add to their Clanmew intros.
Hmm...
Well, I totally overhauled the idea of Clan genders. So let's wander and ponder about it.
Some concepts translate neatly into the new clan culture concept of a Trinary gender, such as the humble genderqueer, but the English words for queerness are built around the exploration and rejection of binary gender. So I think most of the terms we're familiar with wouldn't exist in Clanmew.
Anyway, here's a refresher of the three genders and a new word. Here! Gender! CATCH!
Gender = Gorrloog Gender, broadly, of which Clan cats have 3. To be agender is to not have this, to be Gorrloogwaro, "genderless"
Gib = Meewa The third gender; assigned to cats who were suspected fading kits, display religiosity and wisdom from a young age, and have special 'gifts' from StarClan like multiple toes. Closest to what we might consider a type of nonbinary, but since Clan cats have trinary gender, you can see how that phrase is kind of flawed in Clanmew.
Tom = Ssuf Masculine gender; associated with patrolling, playfulness, assigned to most male kits. Tend to be more 'stinky' than other genders (word comes from the sound of cat spraying), larger, and display stud jowls.
Molly = Yaow Feminine gender; associated with assertiveness and seriousness, camp-building, and protectiveness. Assigned to most female kits. Tend to be on the thinner, lighter side, with saggier skin
They don't really have a word for "transgender," you contain gender, and don't contain much of the other two. To change gender is just that; "I was X and now I am Y" because you have realized that you contain more of another type of gender.
But they DO have a term for dysphoria, because they do have HRT treatments for when cats want their bodies to reflect their gender.
So there's another word; Mwrrgorloog. Bad-Gender. This is when you feel uncomfortable with the gender you have right now, and need to find some way to become a different one.
Humor theory but for gender. breaking out the gender leeches and sucking out the bad gender
And doing that, taking herbs, altering your appearance, helps to adjust your gender levels. So transition is accepted, BUT, Clan cats start trying to shove you back into the boxes if you act outside of this trinary system.
Dustpelt would be an example of this-- he contains Ssufness. He is a tom, he feels like one and he is one. He likes construction, he's a very serious cat, but that doesn't mean he doesn't like to patrol. That doesn't mean he wants to be treated totally like a molly. He's queer, he doesn't fit the boxes neatly.
Under a more traditional leader, he may have gotten overlooked for construction promotions. They would have wanted him to be Yaow or Ssuf and not this bizarre mix. They wouldn't have considered that he needed someone like One-eye to nurture his talents.
I'm not sure if they have a word for "genderqueer" yet, but the beauty of language is that we make words exactly for this sort of purpose. I'm trying to think of how they might put BB!cats like Dustpelt, Bluestar, and Lizardstripe into words...
I think Ul-gorloog, contracted into Uloog, would make a good term for queer cats who don't fit the trinary. "Total Gender," lonely gender, both filling the Trinary and not really being part of it as a result.

Dang said she’s been reflecting on their support, emphasizing that she thinks it’s no coincidence that women came to her defense. She said she thinks there’s been a showing of solidarity among women over the public safety threats and harassment that they deal with. "
By Kimmy Yam
A woman who was attacked in the Boston subway is speaking out after a group of teens were recorded harassing her with racist language and attempting to block her from leaving the train. 
Vivian Dang, 25, told NBC News that she was on the red line at around 10 p.m. last Thursday when the unidentified teens followed her into a train car. A video she took of the incident shows them hurling racial slurs, mocking her in an accent and physically cornering her. 
“Can I get some dumplings?” one of the teens can be heard saying with a fake accent. “Can I get some ramen with the egg?” 
Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority Transit Police confirmed to NBC News that the investigation is active and declined to comment any further on the incident. But the morning after the attack, police said on social media that they were looking for the teens, who had not only taunted, harassed and threatened passengers, but had also smashed a train window before fleeing. 
Video of the incident has since gone viral on TikTok, prompting discussions over public transit safety. 
While the train was crowded, Dang said that three women helped her throughout the ordeal. Two of them had encouraged her to sit next to them, while another spoke up for her. 
“We did have a moment when I was thanking them for sticking up for me and one of them even gave me a pepper spray because she had extra,” Dang said. “We just had a casual conversation about how she always has these things prepared.”
One of the women also assured her of the severity of the situation and brought the police over to Dang, she said, helping her report the incident. 
Since, Dang said she’s been reflecting on their support, emphasizing that she thinks it’s no coincidence that women came to her defense. She said she thinks there’s been a showing of solidarity among women over the public safety threats and harassment that they deal with. 
“We’re kind of looking out for each other. It’s always the women,” Dang said. “You see women pretending they know each other on the street just to have them avoid a stranger approaching them or something. It’s very the norm to really just stick up for one another as a woman.” 
“I’m hoping that this is an eye opener for people taking public transport and just being more cautious of the people around you,” Dang said. “And I hope that this sparks more conversation into the racism that’s been occurring, every day … not everybody gets to record their incident.” 
The 25-year-old said that when the teens entered the train, they immediately began to threaten passengers. 
“I was in the first cart with them. They were already saying stuff like, ‘This is a mass robbery. Everyone get on the ground,’” Dang said. “One of them sat right next to me, speaking really loudly at me, but I was just ignoring it.”
When the teens attempted to yank the shoes off a male passenger, Dang said she moved to another train car. But the group trailed her. 
“One of the first things they said to me already was that I was being racist for ‘staying away from Black people,’” Dang said. “Then they started spewing things at me.”
What followed, Dang said, was a barrage of anti-Asian insults, some of which didn’t make it into her recording. 
“I didn’t catch this on the clip, but they just went off in one part with so many comments about dogs and cats, saying, “Oh, this is why my dog is missing,’” Dang said, referencing the racist stereotype around Asian cuisine. When one woman spoke up in defense of Dang, the teens began to mock her accent, the video shows.
For the most part, Dang said she stayed calm and quiet, attempting to appear unfazed by their remarks, until the teens tried to trap her in the car.
“They were starting to say stuff like, ‘Don’t let her leave.’” said Dang, who was concerned they would follow her home. “That was when I was starting to get really scared.”
The group ended up getting off the train before Dang did. 
Dang said that receiving racist remarks isn’t new to her, and that during the height of the Covid pandemic verbal attacks became more common on public transit. To truly address the problem, Dang said that media, politicians and those with a platform need to be more cognizant that their words and the blame that was shifted toward the Asian community has led to real-life consequences.  
“Lack of education, lack of resources of being able to control the things that people are hearing, and saying — that’s ultimately the reason why we still deal with these things every day,” Dang said.

Hi can you write a Connor x deviant reader where Connor meets the reader before he deviates and he’s trying to take the reader into the staton (by like tracking him down and stuff im bad at explaining 😭) and the reader does the thingy where their skin goes up and they like show memories and information and the reader shows what happened to them (like the reader being in a group for like a care center and then humans like destroy the other androids and the reader escapes) and then Connor and the reader just talk for a bit and Connor kinda just deviates a bit after that (btw I’m so sorry if this doesn’t make any sense)
Software Instability
Tumblr media
Fem aligned people (+ She/Her users) DNI
[FTM Friendly] DEVIANT Male Reader x Connor
Fluff/Long Fic
Detroit Become Human
Tumblr media
Connor's POV:
Where is he? This deviant is the best link we've got to Markus, but he's difficult to catch. We've been practically playing a game of 'cat and mouse' as Hank says.
He leaves notes and shrines for us yet leaves little trace of himself. The closest I've gotten of useful information was a couple drops of blood from our first encounter with him. He got injured at a care center, where supposedly an entire group of deviants had attacked the people new batch of people who needed help. It seems unlikely considering the past links of deviants who just wanted to live a normal life, but justice needs to be served...
It's getting late and I've been standing in this snowy area of the city, surrounded by abandoned building that the deviant led me too for the past hour, trying to find any hint of a shrine or note, but even those aren't here.
Hank had already wrapped his stuff up to go, and at this point- I think it's time for me too. Until I hear a loud hissing sound, like spray paint, coming from inside these abandoned buildings. I quickly (and quietly) make my way around where the sound is coming from.
I climb up on of the buildings where a rusty ladder was, and found one of the buildings with a huge gap in the window. I take a peak inside to find 3 androids. One is spray painting a Jericho symbol onto the walls while the two others are walking away with a large box. Deviants.
I note that the broken glass is how they get into the building as they've built platforms fit for people to safely walk in from here. As the two other androids are no longer in hearing distance, I start to silently sneak myself towards the one left. The closer I got, I was finally able to read what type of Android they were--
A Care Android.
"Joey are you ba-?"
I interrupt him, grabbing onto his free arm, and then the hand that carried his spray can. Immediately, he started fighting back and tried shouting for help "JOEY, SIMON"
His led blipped red in a second and he pushed me up against the wall next to the spray painted symbol. I finally had a good look at his face-
A tear across his cheek, not to deep but still enough to make someone wince at the injury.
"God dammit, Connor just give me a damn second!" he yelled. Him knowing my name was the least of my problems in this moment, but I'm starting to realize I may have underestimated how strong he is.
Care Androids are made to hold heavy weights considering that they had to carry people, help bring in shipments of medication and food, and so on.
But no matter how much I budge, his hold on me gets tighter. "Connor, please" He pleads loudly, making me stop, "Just listen to me. Hand, give me your god damn hand" he demands.
A look of desperation slips into his eyes, and I can't help but hesitate. After seeing these many deviants so far, it's impossible to think his intentions are purely evil.
As I finally stop fighting back, we stare into each other's eyes, silently checking for approval of a truce. His eyes soften, and he lets go of me. We stand frozen for a moment before he pulls out his hand. The flesh of his hand is pixelated away as he waits for my hand as well.
I delay for a second before finally grasping his hand and close my eyes with him.
------
"It's okay, Ellie" I whisper, running my hand over the little girl's forehead. In reality, there's androids getting torn apart down there, and I'm hiding with the sick little girl I was told to take care of. I'm afraid, for the first time in my life, I feel a nauseas feeling as I try to find a way to leave this place while leaving everyone in this room safe.
If I want to live, I must leave, but it's my job-- my only reason to exist is to defend the people who live here.
I feel myself become a traitor, I feel selfish for leaving and wanting to live. But they're human, they'll be safe. I know I have to live for something in the future.
The little girl looks up at me on last time. Hopefully she finds her gift after this whole mess. Hopefully she sees the little happy birthday note I've placed in her room. I'll visit her one day if I live to get out of this.
I open the door and quickly shut it, looking around. Androids attempting to fight back while others lie limp to the suffering, and humans have had enough of us.
I grab onto a broken rail from the stairs as I try to sneak across to the other side where I find of group of deviants trying to escape from.
No eyes on them just yet. One care android, now deviant, looks over to me with worry, almost like they're telling me to be careful and that we'll meet after, before heading out.
I take a deep breath, for the first time I feel something like adrenaline. Like I'm alive
I make a run for it, and finally as I'm about to reach the window, I feel something trip me. I fall onto my side, finding a human lady over me. Anger and hatred has filled her, and pinned me down, pressing a knife against my cheek and slowly trying to slide it against my face, but by instinct, I swing. I swing the rail right onto her head. She cries out, getting the attention of the other humans. Fuck.
I scamper up and pull my way out of the window as the shouts get louder and closer. I slam the window closed, and as I'm about to run away, my legs finally give in, fear and tiredness swallow me whole.
-----
I let go of his hand, panting. I could feel all of it, I could hear everything, his thoughts and the shouting and crying.
He looks at me with worry, gently placing my hand on my shoulder.
"You understand me now" He says softly, "you see me"
He lightly presses his fingers against his tear, before leaving it alone. I do, he's right, but I can't let him know that. I look away from him, still trying to recover from the feelings.
"I just wanted to care for them, Connor-"
"How do you know my name?" I ask, scanning them.
"Echo and Ripples. Those girls you let live from the Eden Club. They heard what your buddy cop called you and then told me. An android deviant who didn't shoot the deviants then and there? I knew you were already in your first phases of deviating..." he confessed.
and though I wanted to deny it, it was becoming harder to.
He sighed, taking a deep breath, almost basking in his new ability. And seeing him so happy about it was almost contagious.
"So detective... you gonna cuff me up now?" he asked, "Or ask me about Markus?"
Markus, right. That.
I nodded, "I need information as to where he is"
His led flipped back to yellow, "So that's why you found me. You didn't find my note?" He smirked, "Mr. Detective Android couldn't find a deviant's note? That'll surely look good in your police files" he teases. He chuckles to himself, shaking his head before pulling out a crinkled paper from his pockets, "This. I made a copy just in case, but it- uhm. It would've sent you to a ship bay, I would've met you there in... a better situation with less fighting and shouting, and then I would've introduced you to him. But I guess this works too" He hums, scratching the back of his neck awkwardly.
I take the note, reading the information from it.
"So how about this? We meet there tomorrow, 6 pm, you can bring your one buddy cop if you want, and then I introduce you to Markus. Sound good, Mr. Detective?" he smiles, giving me a bright and wide smile.
I study him for a moment, knowing this isn't a trap, and that I shouldn't trust him so easily-- but I understand him.
"Sounds good" I say.

He is very silly despite his look under the mask which the SoulBeam group is very used to having around the house.
Tumblr media
Bio - Big demonic being that resides as one of Pankraz's forms. Very wild and that is the reason Pankraz is.

Needs Pankraz to continue existing so that one day can see his brother ruin the land as revenge. Unsure if it is just an act or really how he is but he is just a big silly dog like goober around others…it's cute.
Lil Nefarkin Lore(I will make bigger post later) according to Vogos
“We are…we were just like you. Mortal..seeking a greater purpose and achieved it. Glorified and celebrated…but also feared. Fear of what we may become without being given a chance to show we could change. Cursed and damned to life as a creature to be tamed..to serve…however..my brother did not want to be tamed.”
“I was less fortunate for his ambitions,his vision..to save us,I let myself become their pet,their toy… shelved on a rack in a jar for as long as time made sense to me..til that day I was finally released from my cage…but placed in a new one..a mortal a boy no more than 14 yrs of age I heard them say…his body was weak but his mind was strong…I couldn't grasp it fully so I instead formed around it attaching myself to this boy. Now I live inside of him slowly feeding on that mind making him go a little insane…it's delicious and satisfies my revenge but..after time I have learned to like this mortal somehow so I…won't hurt him too much…anymore.”

Seems to be searching for something or someone but never says anything about it.

"Don't forget to breathe, sweetheart," Bakugo said with a slight smirk.
I didn't even realize I was holding my breath until I looked at the mirror before us. My skin was damn near purple and my eyes were teary. But, I didn't know whether that came from the restriction of air or the constant pleasure swirling in my body.
The pro-hero's cock filled every crevice of my slick canal and stirred up everyone emotion possible. Happiness. Excitement. Sadness. Rage.
I was supposed to quit. Leave Bakugo Katsuki's insane hero agency for good and take the first plane to the US. The heroes in Japan were simply too overzealous for my liking. The men, in particular, were praised for doing the bare minimum. Like rerouting a train or taking a cat out of a tree. I have seen women heroes break every bone in their bodies to save everyone from a plane crash. I have seen them lose their limbs in the war, while the males barely got any scratches. The new generation of male heroes was more than questionable. Their treatment of the woman heroes has infuriated me to no end and I had about enough of it.
I was going back home to the United States.
I don't know how it happened. One minute I was giving the spiky-haired bastard my two weeks' notice and then his body was on mine. His mouth was kissing my neck and his hands were lifting my skirt. His member was hard and poking my inner thigh, while he ripped open my top.
I kept murmuring how much I hated him and how he made me sick--- just for me to spread my legs and take me like a bitch in heat.
His strong pelvis collided with the soft flesh of my ass, making my entire lower half jiggle. One of his strong arms was positioned at an angle against my chest and torso, while the other gripped the edge of the couch. My fingers wrapped around the back of the couch and my knees were situated on the cushions. My arms were straight and my back was arched. Since Bakugo was standing, it was easy for him to snap his cock into me with little restriction.
The deep power thrusts had already sent me over the edge three (maybe four) times already and I couldn't get enough.
"Please make me cum again, sir," I whined, squeezing my eyes shut. "I am so close. . ."
"What happened to all that 'girlboss-I-hate-you-so-much' bs?" The blonde snickered. "I thought you weren't gonna touch me with a ten-foot poll?"
I sucked in a breath and felt my legs begin to tremble slightly. My mouth fell open as short, hot pants fell from my lips and my nails into the cool leather. My walls clenched the girthy, long member tightly. They were already so sensitive from previous climaxes, meaning they felt every single inch of the throbbing member.
While my eyes started to roll back, I lifted one of my hands from the back of the couch and placed it on my neglected clit. My legs started to shake even more as I rubbed lazy circles against the bud. My walls squeezed and released his member at a rapid rate. Curses fell from my mouth as I felt the orgasm clawing its way out of me.
One of Bakugo's hands fell to my breast. He massaged the mound gently, adding even more pleasure to my overstimulated body. His nibble fingers pulled and tweaked my nipple for a few moments before I felt my whole body freeze. I, suddenly, became hyper-aware of what was happening. I could feel his hot breath on my neck and hear the slutty moans drip from his lips. I could feel his cock twitch within me, indicating that was just as close as I was.
Finally, I could hear him whimper my name over and over again.
"Oh my god! Oh my god!" I chanted, breathlessly. "I'm cumming. I'm cumming."
My legs trembled against the leather couch as juices sprayed from my center. My eyes rolled to the back of my head as I started to throw my ass back to meet his thrusts. I screamed his name like it was the word on Earth. I begged him never to stop that god-like penetration and said cringy things like "I love your cock so much".
To which Bakugo said "I think I'm addicted to your pussy" before filling the condom with his seed.
When it was all said and done, we cuddled on the couch and listened to each other's heartbeats. The moon was bright and painted the office a cool blue color. It was quiet, peaceful even. Until---
"I don't want you to leave."
-----------
Did you miss me???

i'm really upset basically my mom brought a cat home last year (rescued stray) and despite both me and my dad not wanting to keep him my mom kept him anyway. i told my mom that i didn't want a male cat because there's a good chance he'd spray in our house but she didn't care, and then she waited WAY too long to get him neutered despite me regularly telling her to please do it because he Did start spraying in our house. and you know where he was spraying most? on my stuff. i just had to clean up SO much piss in my basement craft room. on the walls, on my table, on my carpet, on my stuffed animals. i had to throw away stuff because it was saturated in piss. the cat tree my dad HAND MADE for me was covered in piss. when i told my mom a few weeks ago that She had to be the one to clean that because it was her cat and her fault she said "can't we just throw it away?" which made me so angry because like i said my dad made that for me. he peed on some of my build-a-bears which are really important to me and i had to throw away one of their wigs bc it was so bad. i'm going to tell her she needs to buy a replacement and if she complains i'll be even more upset.
it makes me so angry because if he'd been spraying on HER stuff this whole time, she would have been angry and she would have gotten him neutered much sooner. but she took her sweet fucking time because it was My Stuff and she didn't care. and she's probably going to be mad at Me when she wakes up and im angry at her, because no one has a right to be angry in this house except for her. if the roles were reversed she'd be threatening to kick me and the cat out of the house but she'd never admit that.
the worst part is that she's the one who brought the cat home but she doesn't even like the cat much now because he likes my dad more than her. she was like "i want an animal that's just my own" but was upset when he liked someone else more, so she got ANOTHER cat, cornbread, after that. and then you know what happened? she didn't think cornbread was affectionate enough so she brought a dog home. now we have so many extra animals me and my dad never wanted. my mom used to be an animal hoarder and we finally got the problem under control but it seems to have reared its ugly head again.
speaking of hoarding, my mom is also a hoarder in general. thankfully not enough that our floors are covered or anything, but she's insufferable in the fact that she'll hardly part with anything. she basically never donates anything and insists on selling everything, but she's too lazy to actually Do the selling so it sits around forever. i keep telling her that there's less fortunate people who could really use the stuff, including baby clothes from when my nephew was little (he's ten now. it's been sitting around for a decade.) one time she spent like 15 minutes digging through my trash to get a mcdonald's toy i'd thrown out, and then boasted about getting ten cents for it at a yard sale. i told her digging through trash is not normal and is invasive and weird but she doesn't think so. she digs through my trash semi-regularly and i just Know she's going to dig through the piss soaked stuff i just threw out and be angry that i'm trying to throw it out because it can ~totally be cleaned~ but i'm telling her that if she wants it she can deal with it and keep it somewhere she can smell it because i'm Not dealing with it.
life is a fucking nightmare sometimes. please assure me that digging through trash isn't normal because she seriously tries to gaslight me into thinking it is

If you have any free time im requesting some camboy au headcanons about roach :0? Or letters to love headcanons about roach!!
Let's do some Letters headcanons! I haven't done one for Letters Roach and it gives me an opportunity to explain some things for the story!
Warnings: Stalker type behavior from Makarov, nsfw implied, slight non-con mentioned
Trans! Roach in the letters universe, which you guys probably knew, but he didn't come out until he was about sixteen
He is currently in his early-mid twenties in the fic and has been transitioning since he came out
Only person who knew he was trans earlier than sixteen was Eddie
Eddie is still a doctor in this AU and provided Roach with fantasy hormone blockers until he was ready to come out
So Roach essentially never hit a female puberty which has worked out for him because he doesn't have to bind his chest or anything
He was raised with a females education because he didn't come out until later
When he did come out, there was discussion of sending him through the classes for male aristocrats, but he would have been learning with small children, so they decided to just teach him the basics
For this reason Roach has no idea how to really fight (outside of a few things that we'll get to later), no idea how to hunt, and is a little less educated on things like war tactics, math, and history (he's learning though!)
Roach earned Makarov's affection when they were very young, which is part of why he doesn't remember it
Makarov was about eight while Roach was about five
Essentially Makarov was being a pouty bratty young prince
Little Roach got tired of it and came over to smack him with a book and tell him to shut the fuck up with his tantrum because he was trying to make flower crowns
Roach got in trouble for it, but Makarov was already smitten and it did not help that Roach later apologized to him with one of the flower crowns he made
Makarovs obsession was mostly innocent until he hit puberty then he started getting full on creepy and weird which is most of what Roach remembers
Roach and Jackson became bffs in this AU when they were kids. They were around the same age and their families estates are right next to each other, so it just made sense
Jonathan and Eddie fully believed that Roach and Jackson were sneaking around together when they were teens
Technically they weren't wrong, its just that rather than having sex, Roach and Jackson were going into town together and sneaking back to the estates with stray cats (the estates still have a cat problem because of them)
Makarov fucking despises Jackson, but he can't say or do shit because Jackson's family are the Kingdom's record keepers/treasurers
A list of creepy things that Makarov has done to Roach in this AU:
Stolen some of his clothes
Cut a piece of his hair to keep
"Accidentally" spilled wine, water, and mead on him several times
Had specific outfits made and sent to him (and since he's the prince, guess what Roach was wearing to any functions??)
Had copies of any portraits made of Roach made for himself (as well as hired some artists to draw Roach for him secretly)
Bought literally the exact same fragrances that Roach uses just so he can spray them in his room (and be creepy)
Followed him around secretly and made visits to Roach's families estate to sneak into his room
Literally tried to start rumors about the two of them to try and force them to be married
Straight up felt him up several times during big events where he could get away with it during like dancing and what not
There's other stuff but thats just some of the stuff off of the top of my head shdhdhdjjd
Roach is known for his penmanship in his kingdom! Its a highly valued skill in the kingdom and he's penned out letters for the royals before (including Makarov)
So when Soap is like 👁👄👁 with how fancy Roach's letters are, he was not exaggerating, like Roach is very very skilled
Soap is only Roach's third kiss in his life, not necessarily because there haven't been people interested, but rather that Roach hasn't been interested (take your guesses on who the other two kisses were lol)
Because Makarov is so solely interested and focused on Roach, Roach tends to get a lot of flak from other noble families
They want their own daughters/sons to marry the prince, so its very frustrating to them that Makarov has shown no interest in even trying with anyone other than Roach
It doesn't help that everyone can see how uninterested Roach is in the attention. They consider that to be a huge disrespect
So Roach has very few friends/support among the nobility, something that his mother has tried to fix but has often just resulted in Roach sitting in a room being made fun of all day
One last one: Roach is very much deeply attracted to the idea that Soap is a warrior king and has seen so much battle and all that, but he absolutely will not admit it
That shit is staying in his fantasies until after he is married thank you very much

Hi-! I'm here for the daily blog attacks!
Questions from Chapter 5 and 6 Incoming-!
1.) Your heavy eyes looked up into the face of your rescuer. His eyes were squeezed shut, his own ears being covered by his hands as he formed a cage over you. You felt a bit better here in this strange man’s lap.
In the world of LSOTP, Is Edge afraid of storms and lightning too?
2.) Figure 1:
“S-sissy?” His eyes opened to look at you, the white eyes that were usually about the size of a dime seemed to fill his whole sockets.
Figure 2:
His eyes snapped open as a shrill scream left his small body. His soul rose from his chest as the scent of watermelon lemonade filled the area, his soul turned a beautiful sunset orange casting the same bright light in the area before shooting up in a beam.
Figure 3:
Whip opened his eyes- once white- were now the same sunset orange as his magic
Before a whelp has reached a certain age/maturity, is their magic generally white before turning to a color AFTER an awakening?
I think i know the answer. The Figures I've provided said it all, but I just want confirmation.
3.) He popped his magic in little pops of orange, as he had practiced while his magic was still white. Little fire works of lemonade scented orange sprang up before a jet of water squirted out of his palm and sprayed Buck in the face.
I would like to know more about Special Skill Sets, please.
4.) they’re sharp teeth biting into your collar bone or neck to put you back in line after you decided to go against the grain.
Mate Marks? 👀.
5.) Figure 1:
You had forgotten about those features, honestly. All the doors in the house had two knobs. One for your taller family members and guests to use,and one for you and (at the moment) Whip to use.
I feel bad for (Y/N). She's essentially a mouse in a family of cats. ಥ⁠‿⁠ಥ.
Figure 2:
It was humiliating to you. Your feet didn’t even touch the floor and your head barely poked above the arms of the chair.
I arrest my case.
6.) What happened during 'The Seige of Coronet'? Just how bad was it?
7.) “She can speak, it’s just hard for her to do. It’s a side effect from an injury from when she was little.
We were in the Siege of Coronet when Old Centry fell in the war. The enemy was after women and children, in hopes to put a dent in our numbers. Sadly both my wife and daughter were injured.”
I FOUND A CLUE-! I'm sure of it.
IM SURE THAT THIS WAS WHAT YOU WERE REFERRING TO!
During this Siege of Coronet, Cobalt basically admitted that there were enemies, enemies that scarred both (Y/N) and Lilith.
He KNOWS who they were fighting with.
But the fic doesn't give any implicit confirmation as to WHO or WHAT the enemy is.
(1) Edge isn’t terrified of storms. He has super great hearing. The noise of the wind, the debris, and other noises were hurting his ears.
(2) Yes. They are born with white magic that they can practice with until they hit puberty, when they start to unlock their abilities.
(3) You may need to open a new ask post for this one with more specifics on what you want to know. It’s too broad of a question for this post and would make this entirely too long.
(4) Not necessarily. The reader is just kinky. It’s a form of discipline between mates and usually how a male will dom a female. By biting- however the bites don’t hurt more so than overstimulate the person being bitten. (Don’t bite someone in the LSotP au. The scandal that would result would be massive.)
(5) Yeah. She’s a lil’ short stack compared to everyone else. Her baby brother is only three inches shorter than her.
(6) Old Centry was a province or state in the region.
The siege of Coronet was an invasion of the state and one of the first settlements hit in the dead of night. It was pillaged and burned down in less than 10 hours. A flag that said “Down with the Queen” was left on the hot ashes of the site.
(7) I never said he didn’t know. And while it’s important, that wasn’t the thing I was referring to. ;p

FNF prez Eddie Muller responds to film noir fan questions fielded by the Foundation's Director of Communications Anne Hockens. In this episode, we discuss Lightning Strikes Twice, Woman on the Run, Darwyn Cooke’s comic book adaptations of Richard Stark’s Parker novels, which classic film noirs should be remade, Eddie’s novel The Distance and more. We wind up the show with a discussion of the notorious psychological thriller Who Killed Teddy Bear. On the cat front, we get a rare visit from Tizzy the traveling cat.
Want your question answered in a future episode? We solicit questions from our email subscribers in our monthly newsletters. Sign up for free at filmnoirfoundation.org
Everyone who signs up on our email list and contributes $20 or more to the Film Noir Foundation receives the digital version of NOIR CITY Magazine for a year.
Can’t join us on Thursday? No problem! A recording will be up on our YouTube channel, @NoirCity, on Friday, October 6.
Note: Eddie will not be able to answer questions posted during the livestream nor ones left on our social media accounts
The dialogue of LIGHTNING STRIKES TWICE was nuanced, subtle, wicked, I wonder what male author has also sustained that continuous level of repartee? At the amusement park towards the finale of WOMAN ON THE RUN, the life-size Laughing Sally made me think it was San Francisco - am I mistaken?
Sara
Any news of a restoration/screening/Noir Alley showing/home release for CANON CITY (1948)? Morse
Eddie has expressed his affinity for comic books in the past, have either of you read the Darwyn Cooke adaptations of Richard Stark’s Parker books?
Nathanael from New Braunfels, Texas
Would Film Noir have existed if World War II had not?
John
Are there any classical Film Noir movies that might be worth a redo along the lines of NIGHTMARE ALLEY, with the chance of going back to original source material without the production code limitations?
Carlton, Atlanta, Georgia
In WHERE THE SIDEWALK ENDS Scalise keeps administrating what appears to be a nasal spray, but from my memory of Le Chiffre in James Bond isn’t it likelier that it is Benzedrine he’s inhaling?
Eric
One of my more favorite movies of recent vintage is EMILY THE CRIMINAL.  What do both of you think about the film?  
John - Brooklyn, N.Y.
I recently watched David Lynch's brilliant LOST HIGHWAY for the first time in several years and for the first time the very noir elements really stuck out for me. Is there another neo-noir with such strong sci-fi elements?
Joe on Long Island
My first question is for Eddie.  Do you consider Alfred Hitchcock’s SPELLBOUND and THE PARADINE CASE – both starring your favorite actor, Gregory Peck – to be good representatives of noir films?  
Anne, since you are a big fan of the Golden Era of Radio, were you a fan of the Alan Ladd radio series, BOX 13, and do you think it qualifies as a noir?  
Loren, Chicago
Re THE DISTANCE. Couldn't find any definition for "Swansy hollow punch". Could you elaborate? Did you make up the fighters' names or are they real names pulled from the past Was this your first book-length effort? If not, what was?
Jay and Connie, Ann Arbor, MI

The Desert is Alive
May 21, 2024 (Morning)
It’s been less than a week since we left home. It feels like yesterday and three years all at once. Full relaxation has set in, and we are seemingly in another universe from the lives we left behind. Ahhhhhhhhhh. Breathe……….
Another wonderful night’s sleep and we woke to our alarms. Taking showers at night works well so that morning prep for the day is quick and easy. Another good breakfast and we were off. Jo’s goal for the day - elephants. Hard to argue with that. It wasn’t 20 minutes out of camp that we came upon our first group. These ellies have interesting desert adaptations: smaller, wide feet to move on the sand, long legs, and no need to drink every day. It’s so fun to watch the ellie interactions, and OMG - the little ones. They are clumsy and awkward, running around their mamas’ legs, protected at times in the middle of the group of big guys. We learned so much from Max about animal behavior. This particular group had a strong male pulling up the rear as they moved. Max was extremely cautious of him, given he was showing some of the signs of musth. Not what one wants in a ginormous creature just a few feet away! Head-shaking, wet behind the ears, kicking dirt our way all showed that he was not to be messed with, so Max gave him a wide berth. The males reportedly won’t make a move on a girl until she’s ready, so if the guy’s ready for action without an amenable girl, he can become aggressive. Max likened this to a (human) guy who just finished a bottle of whiskey and is angling for a fight! The mamas, thankfully, showed no signs of stress, so Max was not inclined to move when they got close - even with the oh-so-adorable babies! We had some serious Ellie watching, including another group we saw a bit later up-river. The males in that group were chill, so we got closer as they passed us by. And yes, even more babies for our light-hearted entertainment! Lest we forget, we saw loads of of springboks, some ostriches, and oryxes here and there. The desert may at first glance seem quiet, but it is indeed alive with activity. In between seeing Ellie groups, Max looked for signs of cats, given their footprints might still be visible in the morning before the sand wipes them away. It was not yet meant to be, but instead, we found individual and pairs of giraffes. The morning light and spectacular backdrops of dunes, rock hills and blue sky were stunning. Max took care to also point out the sage all around (can’t miss the scent) and mustard bushes providing good food for so many vegetarians.
After a good bit of ellie and giraffe watching, we left our private Wilderness concession and entered the public land. There is a man-made watering hole, with a pump from a well that brings water to a holding tank; the tank then feeds the small watering hole to help the animals. The tank is surrounded by a reinforced concrete structure with cages of rocks above so the ellies don’t puncture the tank. A single springbok was sipping when we arrived, but a lion was approaching. Quite far away at first, we waited patiently as she (Charlie, the lioness from our first day here) sauntered toward us. When she got close, quite hungry, she spotted the tasty treat of a springbok. Charlie crawled into the hollow concrete structure to stalk the springbok. We observed this first from behind, then drove around to see Charlie peeking out toward the oblivious springbok. We thought we might be in store for some serious drama, but after watching for quite a while, the springbok caught on, moved far enough away in order to outrun Charlie, and Charlie settled for a drink. That said, our time at the he watering hole did not disappoint. Soon, the ellie’s we had passed caught up. Two groups approached separately, merged, lumbered across the sandy expanse and to the watering hole. There they drank, sprayed themselves with water, and soon kicked up dust to mix with the wet and provide natural mud sunscreen. The big male made an amazing show of this operation, for a good solid coating at the end! As we left the area, we got another glimpse of Charlie who had settled into the shade of a bush to rest. There were six vehicles around,including one we’d seen earlier with an obnoxiously audacious woman sitting in a tire on the hood. Seriously, these are wild animals, and we were all glad to see that when Charlie roused, Max and another guide yelled over at her to get in the vehicle. Despite her ignorant bravado, no one wanted to see THAT kind of a kill.
The route back was relaxed and easy with sightings of various animals, but we’d had our fill for the morning and were happy to arrive back for a lovely lunch and siesta. A word about the latter. Safaris are wonderful, but this type of vacation is exhausting. We reminisced about our first day in the first camp of our last Africa trip, when we did every possible activity… who needs a siesta? We soon learned then and are keeping up now the more sane pace of a morning activity, good time to chill/chat/nap, and then, round two for the day. Kind of the same schedule the animals keep. Not sure if the heat has moderated or we’ve gotten used to it, but the breeze is lovely for hangin’ in the room or on the patio of our tent. No worries about wild animals in the camp, as on arrival, they had told us about the cat tracking activities in the desert. All of the kitties have electronic collars. When they pass through a monitored perimeter, the cats (ok, maybe their collars) send an auto email to the on-site researcher, who in turn alert the staff.

A snake’s plaything | Fifth year || Sebastian Sallow
Tumblr media
🐍 Chapter 8 | Marked
NSFW - Masturbation
It truly was a walk of shame when she entered her common room some days ago. To her luck, only a few students saw her wearing a Slytherin pullover but they were enough to spread the rumors. Violetta noticed that some girls became mean to her or ignored her completely. She especially began having trouble with girls from Gryffindor and Slytherin.
Also, Charlotte apologized for disappearing. Apparently, she saw the entity and it charged at her. So she got scared and ran away. Also, the entities got removed after a week.
So this brings us to today, a snowy Saturday in December. A random Slytherin girl told her to give the pullover back to Sebastian and that he was waiting in front of the library for her. At first, she was skeptical but later asked Ominis and he confirmed that it was real.
So now, Violetta was waiting here near the fountain. His sweater was tightly folded but Violetta did something to it. She sprayed perfume on it that she brought in the Diagon Ally. It was a sweet flowery scent with a hint of vanilla. She knew that she tested the devil with this small action but if he wanted to play dirty, she would do it too. 
'I didn't expect you to come so early.' His voice sounded behind her. Violette turned around. Sebastian didn't wear his school uniform but dark pants and a white shirt with a brown cardigan. She must admit that her heart flattered a bit. He indeed was a handsome male. Violetta wore a long skirt and a sweater in dark red.
'Here.' Violetta gave him his pullover back with one hand. 'Oh and don't send your girls to talk with me since I saw you being able to speak to me. It makes you look... pathetic.' She said with a smirk. Fucking hell, she hated him but also it drove her crazy how insanely she wanted him. Maybe he noticed it but maybe not.
Sebastian looked at her coldly and smiled.
'I would have talked with you but since you decided to avoid me I needed to take different measures.' He chuckled and tugged the pullover under his arm.
Now, Violetta could only imagine what happened. She believed that Sebastian got a whiff of her perfume. She saw his pupils dilating. Violetta smirked and turned around.
'Have fun with it.' She whistled and walked away. She felt so confident like never before. Violetta knew that she had him around her finger and hell, she loved toying with him. Since when?
Violetta was halfway through the castle back to her dorm. She avoided the courtyards because of the snow. Violetta thought to herself, since when did she lower herself on his level?
She should stop it before it escalates, but how far did they both push each other?
Violetta walked down the stairs to the Slytherin common room in hopes that she might find him there. She walked past empty rooms. Her footsteps were silent and the air around her was cold. She should have worn a thicker sweater. Maybe she could talk with Ominis since they both somehow managed to connect their wands. Ominis could notify her wand when he was close to her and wanted to talk in private and the other way around. She just needed to be close enough to the Slytherin common room.
Violetta was about to turn around a corner when she heard a weird noise. She stopped and listened. It came from one of the rooms to her right. It sounded like a hiss. Maybe there was a cat trapped somewhere since cats were able to run free in Hogwarts.
There was a faint rumbling and she figured that she was already past the room. Violetta turned around and walked back. Another noise. Violetta saw that a room was just a crack open.
She leaned against the door and listened. Nothing.
She pushed the door carefully without making a noise. She slid into the room. It was more or less a storage room full of things. Furniture was stacked like in the room of requirements.
Violetta sneaked further into the room until she saw a shadowy silhouette. Heavy breathing filled her ears. What the hell did she walk into? Horrible thoughts filled her head until it was spinning.
A male moan sounded and Violetta covered her mouth. She got brick-red. Did she just catch two students having... having sex?
But wait... that moan sounded like someone familiar. Her wand suddenly made a movement. Ominis was near. The breathing became quiet. She must have accidentally notified him while covering her mouth but how?
Something in her head connected. The person couldn't be Ominis since his wand made a little sound when she notified him. Then... who was this?
Violetta peaked around the wardrobe and her eyes must have tried to betray her.
A boy sat on a couch and he covered his face with something, a piece of clothing. His pants were pulled down and his fist clenched around his dick. A big dick around maybe 6 inches.
Violetta tried to remove her view but it was like she was hypnotized by how the boy pleasured himself so shamelessly in front of her. The boy lifted the sweater off his face and the blood froze in her veins. The boy closed his eyes and took a deep breath into the pullover.
It was Sebastian. Sebastian Sallow.
Before he opened his eyes again she jerked her head back and stared at the floor. Her head was even spinning more than before. Wait, what was this?
Violetta could feel something warm inside her. Something between her legs started to have an urge. Her desire spiraled high. This was wrong! She just caught him in one of his most intimate moments and she... she felt aroused?
Violetta pressed her thighs together and shook her head. Her wand made a movement again. Ominis was searching for her.
'Oh, fuck.' Sebastian moaned behind her loudly while climaxing and she heard something dripping on the floor. Violetta felt the heat in her body burning her. She needed to get out now!
Violetta hurried back outside as quietly as she could. Her legs were like jelly.
Finally the door. Violetta opened it and just rushed out, followed by her colliding with a yelp into someone. Ominis. She nearly knocked that poor man to the floor. Luckily, he couldn't see her blushed face.
'What the hell?' He said and touched her shoulders, then her face. 'You? Where the hell were you? Why did you call me?' Violetta began stuttering but just couldn't bring out a word. Her thoughts were mashed. Noises behind her alerted her that Sebastian was coming. Violetta started panicking. She needed to run now! But Ominis didn't let her go.
'Violetta, what the hell?' Ominis said when she finally freed herself but too late. Sebastian came to the door, looking at it. It wasn't open before.
Violetta's eyes met his. Her face gave her away. Sebastian realized and stared at her in horror.  Violetta turned around and ran away as fast as she could.
'Oh fuck, Violetta stop!' He yelled after her and sprinted after her. His footsteps echoed in the dungeons. Violetta knew that the Ravenclaw common room was her only way out of this.
Their chase came to an end when Violetta yelled the riddle's answer at the raven from the door and threw herself in before Sebastian reached the last step.
The door closed in his face. Angrily he punched the door.
'Violetta get out! I just want to talk!' He yelled through the door. But Violetta already left for her bed.
'Is a Ravenclaw girl breaking your heart?' The raven on the door asked and Sebastian looked up.
'Let me in!' He shouted furiously. The raven laughed.
'Slytherin boy, solve me a riddle.' The metal raven asked. 'What do you prefer to follow, your mind or your heart?' Sebastian looked at him and thought for a short while.
'Fucking bird.' He hissed and walked the stairs back down. Violetta would not escape him that quickly and they both knew that very well.

Get to know my OC, Remington!!
(Im sure it can be confusing since that is my name also, but I actually got my name from him 🥰 so he came first)
Full Name: Remington Connors
Age:
28
Sex:
Male
Description:
Remington is a large, stocky 28 year old. Hes very stoic, and keeps to himself 99% of the time to avoid spending time around other people. He is also a wolfboy, and can have pure black wolf ears & tail. He is hot headed, and very stubborn, and will not tolerate others pushing him or his mate, Levi around. He loves to play on his natural intimidation. He has shoulder length black hair, and radioactive green eyes that always glow, however the light dims significantly if hes ill. He also has 1" red tunnels in his ears, the bridge of his nose pierced, as well as two piercings on each side of his bottom lip.
Other:
He also constantly has blood stored within his body that runs out of his nose/mouth whenever he experiences extreme emotions, as sort of a defense mechanism for his species. When sneeze attacks get too intense, he cant help the small sprays of blood that accompany them.
Allergies:
Only allergy is cats, which seems to be a fun game for his mate Levi who can freely switch between human and snow leopard, and enjoys teasing the normally very dominant male.
How severe are they?:
Hes a sniffly, hitchy, sneezy mess for the next few days if Levi is feeling extra mean, and coax out some desperate fits just rubbing his tail under his nose 🥰
Anything else that makes them sneeze?:
He does have a photic sneeze reflex and is sometimes sensitive to temperature changes.
Do they get sick often?:
As strong, and healthy as he looks and acts on the outside, poor Remi catches a cold every few weeks, unless hes been extremely lucky. As much as he tried to deny the existence of the "Man Flu", hes a big baby every time he gets sick again.
How bad is it usually?:
Every cold involves at LEAST one box of tissues in his lap, with a couple single ones never not clamped tightly to his nose as he constantly tries to fend off the coming onslaught. His whole body quits, and he definitely isnt much help when out of commission. Can get pretty messy, and definitely will have used tissues everywhere.
Do they stifle?:
About 50% of the time, as too many full sneezes can cause him massive nosebleeds, resulting in an extremely sore throat.
How loud are their sneezes?:
He tends to have pretty good fits, but they dont tend to get louder until the very last, desperate sneezes. Plus, he doesnt like to draw attention to himself sneezing if at all possible.
What do they sneeze into? (Hands, handkerchief, nothing?):
Honestly, Remi is HORRIBLE about remembering to cover his sneezes. Levi will constantly have to nudge a sick Remi to gently remind him to at least sneeze into his elbow. But prepare for the splash zone until Levi has to remind him again.
How often do they sneeze?:
When sick, hes a continuously sneezy mess that cant concentrate on anything other than his nose itching and bothering him. When healthy, you can still expect at LEAST 3 in a day.
How many times do they sneeze in a fit?:
Usually 3-4 is a normal fit, but he has personally counted and got to 142 sneezes in one day from one of his usual nasty colds.
Do they have buildups, or are they sudden?:
Allergies come suddenly and completely unexpected, which tends to be a problem for the wolf since he had no time to prepare. However, when dealing with a cold, he is constantly twisted up in a presneeze face, with a balled up soggy tissue trying its best to keep up with both the ITCHY tickle, and the lake pouring from his nose.
Do they sneeze in public?:
He'll try his best to avoid it, as having someone notice that his hard, tough exterior has a weak spot, is definitely not what he wants. But yknow, its Remi and his nose, so its not out of the question.
Some examples of their sneezes?:
-' TSCHh!
Hih-ITSHuu!
hhn'TSCHH'huh!
AH'SCHUu!!
