March 2023 "That Girl" Challenge
Helloooo :)
This is the 31-Day Challenge that I've created for us to do together this month. It's just something simple and fun. Enjoy! - BlissfullyEcho
——————————————-
DAY 1: Deep clean your living space (bedroom, apartment, house, condo, camper, etc)
DAY 2: Deep clean your car (if you don't have a car, deep clean something else that you haven't done but should do: junk drawer, dresser, yoga mat, makeup brushes, etc)
DAY 3: Try a new (healthy!) recipe-- this could even be a healthy dessert or beverage
DAY 4: Try a guided meditation on YouTube for 10 minutes after waking up and before checking social media
DAY 5: Spend an extra 15 minutes working on something for school, work, hobbies, or your own personal development
DAY 6: Unfollow, delete, and block social media accounts and phone contacts that are just not part of your life anymore (or those who you plan on not having as a part of your life anymore)
DAY 7: Delete social media pictures that don't fit in with the best version of you. This could be the overedited photos, the thirst trap you put on there because that one person made you upset, etc.
DAY 8: Try a new workout that you haven't done. Pilates, ballet, barre, tennis, CrossFit, kickboxing, F45, cycling, running, swimming, etc.
DAY 9: Pamper your pet. Brush, clean, trim their nails, give them treats, etc. Go above and beyond for them today. (If you don't have animals, pamper yourself today!)
DAY 10: Enjoy the sunshine. Go outside (wear your sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat) for 15-20 minutes and enjoy your own company and nature.
DAY 11: No phone 30 minutes before bed. Set your bedtime tonight, and set an alarm 30 minutes prior to that. Once your alarm goes off, put your phone on DND and read a book before bed. Read until you are tired enough to turn off your lights and sleep.
DAY 12: Watch a documentary about something and learn! Maybe it's something you've never had an interest in. Just please make it positive! No heartbreaking or tragic documentaries. Let's not invite that into our "That Girl" challenge.
DAY 13: Buy a self-care item. This could be a yoga mat, face mask, cleansing oil, the Bible, perfume, etc. It can be as expensive or inexpensive as you'd like.
DAY 14: Go out on a date with yourself. Take yourself out to do something you've never done/been to before.
DAY 15: Aim to drink at least 60oz. of pure water today.
DAY 16: Spend 30 minutes learning a language you've always wanted to learn (and if you love it, practice for 10 minutes a day afterward)
DAY 17: Turn your notifications off.
DAY 18: No social media today.
DAY 19: Do something creative today. Buy a canvas, paint, and a brush, and follow a Bob Ross tutorial; maybe buy a jewelry-making kit. Take today and be creative for at least 30 minutes.
DAY 20: 10,000 steps OR walk for an hour
DAY 21: Go through your finances and see where you can budget. Take this time to audit your subscriptions and see if you would like to cancel any recurring subscriptions to save you extra money each month.
DAY 22: Avoid eating animal products today. Just focus on whole grains, fruit, veggies, nuts, seeds, water, and vitamins.
DAY 23: Schedule any doctor appointments you might have. If you don't have to, then take today to create a to-do list for the next 3 days.
DAY 24: Spend some time deleting pictures and making storage space in your phone. Any way you can-- it doesn't have to be from deleting your photos.
DAY 25: Listen to a new podcast or TedTalk.
DAY 26: Check your credit report/score and see if there's anything you need to do/complete.
DAY 27: Clear your email inbox and unsubscribe from the companies you don't shop from anymore.
DAY 28: Touch up on your resume.
DAY 29: Sort through your closet and throw away, donate, and sell your clothes and shoes that you don't wear (and that you know you'll never wear again)
DAY 30: Sort through your bathroom drawers and cabinets and organize them.
DAY 31: Create a vision board for April.

🎄🎵Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas🎵🎄
Holiday (365443) persona chart observations
🎅 Individuals with Ascendant at 1° or 3° get really excited in advance at the thought of Christmas coming. They tend to approach the holidays with the same innocent joy they had as kids even in adulthood
🎅 Stellium in 2nd house = tasty Christmas dishes and gifts are their only priority lmao
🎅 Neptune trine Venus tend to get lost in the beauty and bling of Christmas decorations
🎅 The sign and house where Jupiter is located tells you what type of gifts you might usually get on Christmas (it's also great to use as a gift guide!!):
🎁 Jupiter 1st house/Aries: gym equipment; sports-related merch; tickets to an event, which you're really passionate about; hats/head accessories; could also be something related to the natal Ascendant (check the description for your natal Rising sign for more info)
🎁 Jupiter in 2nd house/Taurus: lots of chocolate and sweets; clothes; art pieces; scented candles; perfume; fine china; kitchen utensils; cookbooks; (renewed) subscription to a movie streaming service
🎁 Jupiter in 3rd house/Gemini: a (new) car; books; musical instruments; handpan (if Jupiter is in Pisces or it positively aspects Neptune); your most memorable gift might come from a sibling or a relative (cousin, uncle, aunt)
🎁 Jupiter in 4th house/Cancer: plushies; heated blanket; board games; photo albums; your most memorable gift might come from your parents or it might be something passed on from generation to generation
🎁 Jupiter in 5th house/Leo: concert tickets; a trip to the tattoo parlor; gold jewelry; could also be something related to the natal Sun
🎁 Jupiter in 6th house/Virgo: Fitbit/smartwatch; aesthetic stationery (notebooks, planners, writing instruments); reusable water bottle; humidifier; pets
🎁 Jupiter in 7th house/Libra: make-up; beauty gadgets; a romantic partner/fiancé (no, but fr, you might get a love confession during the holidays); your most memorbale gift likely might come from your partner (if you have one)
🎁 Jupiter in 8th house/Scorpio: money/gift cards; sexy time toys; stockings; could be something the individual is obsessed with
🎁 Jupiter in 9th house/Sagittarius: trips to exotic destinations; henna hair dye; compression socks
🎁 Jupiter in 10th house/Capricorn: vintage decor; office chair; office purse (or just one that screams "high status"); sterling silver jewelry; high quality alcohol drinks
🎁 Jupiter in 11th house/Aquarius: electronic devices (smartphone, laptop, tablet, etc.); video games; anything related to supernatural beings (aliens, mermaids, fairies etc.); telescope; anything you've wished for/been manifesting
🎁 Jupiter in 12th house/Pisces: anything sleep related - pajamas, bed sheets, pillow sheets (or a new pillow), silk sleepmask; crystals; manifestation journal; tarot decks; art supplies
🎅 Christmas traditions based on the number of planets in angular/succedent/cadent houses:
❄️ High number of planets in angular houses (1, 4, 7, 10) = starting new family traditions
❄️ High number of planets in succedent houses (2, 5, 8, 11) = carrying out family traditions
❄️ High number of planets in cadent houses (3, 6, 9, 12) = tweaking/improving current family traditions or letting them go if they don't resonate anymore
🎅 Sun square/opposite Saturn & Ascendant conjunct/square/opposite Saturn = Grinch who doesn't like Christmas, but doesn't do anything to "destroy" it; might show a lot of sarcasm during the holidays; they might not celebrate Christmas due to reasons related to their position of Saturn
🎅 Sun square/opposite Mars = Grinch who doesn't like Christmas, but actively tries to "destroy" the holiday spirit for the people around them by picking up fights with loved ones
🎅 If you want to "hire" a Santa to show up with gifts for your kids on Christmas (aka choose one of your friends to fulfill this role), the best Santa would have atleast 3 of the following:
Sun conjunct/sextile/trine Jupiter
Venus conjunct/sextile/trine Jupiter
Sun/Moon in 5th house
Jupiter in 2nd house/5th house
Jupiter conjuncting MC
Sagittarius Rising or Jupiter as dom planet
Ruler of 2nd house (benefic planet) in 5th house and vice versa
Asteroid Abundantia (151) conjuncting Venus/Jupiter

xikers reacting to you liking f1
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
╰┈ ⋆。˚ 🪼author’s note: this is a repost from my other acc!! i think i might do an smau for racer xikers…idk we’ll see
🫧laur's taglist: @chiiyuuvv @cherrycolaberry @leehanascent @hyvelxve
Tumblr media
minjae - would 100% be down to watch f1 with you!! strikes me as the type to love the underdogs of the grid (williams, alfa, etc) and definitely watches the funniest moments of f1 with you later :) also watches grill the grid with you just to see if either of you know the answers
junmin- he definitely has f1tv and has seen drive to survive so best believe that he's incredibly happy that you like f1...even if it's because charles leclerc is devastatingly handsome. is 1000% down to watch it with you after you get home from work or when you need a break from studies! he definitely gets you matching f1 merch
sumin - he’s lowkey unimpressed by f1 since it’s watching cars go round and round BUT he’s willing to watch a few races with you bc he knows how much you enjoy it!! doesn’t admit it but later watches drive to survive and orders matching merch for the two of you!!
jinsik - doesn’t strike me as the type to follow f1 all that much but he’s definitely down to watch highlights and binge drive to survive! he’s definitely a big fan of oscar and yuki :) wants to watch past races because he thinks that the history behind f1 is so cool which leads to cuddling while watching the story of fangio on netflix and how f1 started!!
hyunwoo - once again, doesn’t strike me as the type to really want to watch it but is definitely a fan of the ps5 game!! has a whole day set aside for when you each catch up on what kinds of f1 news you’ve been reading and then a cuddle sesh while watching f1 recaps and netflix!! he finds it cute that you support the underdog teams :)
hunter - he’s cultured and tbh gets so hype when you tell him you got paddock passes!! definitely wants to meet yuki and see the mclaren cars <3 the type to take insta worthy pics of you at the GP too!! oh he’s also most definitely aware of every single trend and gossip going around the f1 world
junghoon - he’s seen it and is vaguely familiar with it but decides to start with drive to survive. wants you to not be ashamed to like motorsport! asks why you like f1 and when you begin explaining that you simply like the whole team management concept, he suggests you major in management instead of what your parents expect you to do
seeun - strikes me as the one to be happy for you but he thinks it’s a waste to pay for the f1tv subscription so he finds other ways to enjoy f1 with you!! he’s definitely bought you some ferrari jewelry or apm monaco stuff because he knows you like ferrari!! he’s always ready with two cups of coffee and blankets when you want to play f1 with him!! he usually would play and let you win because he likes seeing your smile
yujun - i don’t think he would follow f1 all that much but is 100% down to watch the race highlights with you :)) definitely listens intently when you explain the rules and how each team has been doing! thinks your commentary is much better than crofty because your voice is 1000x more calming to him, plus he remembered it all!! went and got you daniel’s merch after you kept going on about his story and how you sympathized with him!! whatever team you like, he likes <3
yechan - the type to make bets about who wins in which he always says some underrated driver who definitely has no chance and you say verstappen. definitely sends you reels and edits of f1 drivers immediately followed by a selfie of him where he asks who is cuter!! thinks you only watch f1 for the drivers and you keep repeating that it’s because you’ve liked mclaren since you were little! watches highlights and grill the grid with you, but tells you to spend money on his photo cards not on f1 drivers :(

hi this is what i wrote so far
its not proofread. prob not formatted correctly. not finished either. but. whatever.
modern au: nerevar finds voryn's onlyfans and uh. lets just say he is in fact a fan. nerevar has specific kinks and voryn fits all the criteria.
kinks: femboys, masturbation, probably voyeurism, breeding, risky sex, dirty talk, piercings. more maybe that i forgot. OH and collars and sex toys.
also this is more raunchy than i usually write. like. it is porn about porn. so. sorry if the language is like. especially rauchy and degrading. if it bothers ppl i can tone it down i guess
also voryn is trans.
Nerevar knew this was a bad idea. 
It was easy to see how bad it was. It was a completely stupid—not to mention potentially morally wrong—thing to do.
(Was it morally wrong actually? Nerevar didn’t know the logistics of it. It certainly felt morally wrong, which usually meant it was.)
However, curiosity was getting the better of him he’d admit, as he begrudgingly entered in his credit card information and signed up for the website.
Nerevar Mora had stumbled across the onlyfans account by chance honestly. He was looking for porn, someone on Reddit had recommended him, and Nerevar thought he’d sounded hot. Crossdressing trans guy into breeding? A pretty boy who loved to put on a show? That was kind of his niche type at the moment (though he’d feel bad admitting it publicly), so he clicked away ready to throw money at the guy.
Only to find out said pretty boy was his best friend Voryn Dagoth.
Initially his face burned bright red as he closed the page and got up from his computer, unable to grapple with it. That was Voryn, right?! He’d be able to recognize him anywhere. He knew his face well enough, even under more makeup than he usually wore. But running an account like that seemed out of character for Voryn—Voryn was kind of vain, high class, a little bitchy if Nerevar was being honest, and picky. Not to mention what if one of his brothers saw! Did they know about it?! 
But the thought kept eating away at him. It was like he’d been infected—bitten by the curiosity bug as it seemed. He was going mad only being able to imagine what Voryn was getting up to behind that fucking paywall. Was the guy on Reddit accurately describing him? Was it someone else that just looked like Voryn? 
So here he was, properly signing up to the damn site, just to see what was going on. He just wanted a peak, he assured himself. Just a glance. He’d see what his normally stuck up, mean little best friend got up to (if it was really him), and then cancel his subscription and never touch the account again. That’s all.
Once he actually saw it though it was… A different story.
The first video he watched he could tell it was Voryn. That voice, his body, the jewelry he typically wore was there in bits and pieces, but the outfit…
Nerevar’s cheeks flushed as he saw Voryn’s long legs in a short shirt. Thigh highs were on too, only calling attention to his thighs. He had lean muscle, just the slightest amount, an angularity in his hips, more broad shoulders. The shirt was cropped too, letting Nerevar see the trail of black hair—a tantalizing little treasure trail he wanted to follow.
And then Voryn was pulling the shirt up, exposing the piercings on his nipples, and Nerevar nearly lost it. He had to bite his hand, groaning softly as Voryn moaned in his headphones, playing with the buds, pinching and tugging with practiced skill. It was a performance, showing that he wasn’t an amateur. Even the lighting and set up looked so good. 
He unzipped his pants just to let the pressure off his arousal. He wasn’t jacking off, he assured himself. Any guy would get hard from that performance from how sexy Voryn was acting—it was just a natural reaction! Just a natural, normal reaction to a very attractive performance, that’s all.
He then clicked on another video, this one of Voryn with a toy. Not inside him, but rather he was… Licking and sucking on the realistic dildo, moaning in need. His other hand was off camera, clearly between his legs as he touched himself.
Nerevar felt his resolve crumble a bit more, his cock now aching in need.
Then another video. And another. All with Voryn in usually very attractive, slutty little outfits that showed off the best parts of his body Nerevar hadn’t noticed before. His cute stomach, his long legs, those perfect thighs of his… And the makeup made the seductive little pout on his lips so much more attractive. Sometimes he’d even cry in pleasure, his mascara running, all while begging for someone to get inside him…
By the time Nerevar actually watched through a video of his in its entirety, he was too far gone. He was breathing heavy, stroking himself off as he watched Voryn fuck himself with a toy. His nails were painted such a pretty shade of red too, but Nerevar was mostly looking at his cunt. Pink-brown folds, soaking wet, taking that large, thick toy as he mercilessly fucked himself. He was moaning loudly too, whimpering and begging, ‘breed me, breed me’ over and over…
Nerevar threw his head back, groaning long and low as he came. And he came hard, his legs trembling as he made a mess into the t-shirt he grabbed off the floor. 
And then guilt hit him as he closed the page again, face burning red.
“What the fuck did I just do…” He thunked his head hard against his desk, groaning in despair.
He’d jacked off to his best friend. 
Nerevar Mora had jacked off to his best friend’s videos, cumming long and hard to the thought of fucking him.
“I need a shower.” He reasoned as he turned off his computer. “I need a fucking shower.” 
It would have been best to leave that in the past. To delete his fucking account, forget it ever happened, and take that secret with him to the grave.
But Nerevar rarely made the best decisions in life, hence why he was once again back on the stupid fucking website again.
He shouldn’t. Nerevar knew he shouldn’t be doing this. It was morally wrong—wouldn’t Voryn be grossed out to the thought of his best friend masturbating to his fucking videos? It was one thing for strangers to pay you for it, it was another for people you personally knew to be getting off to you without your consent, right? 
In his defense, Nerevar had tried looking at different porn. Shitty reuploads on free sites like pornhub, Reddit, you name it. However, his thoughts kept drifting on how they didn’t do it quite like Voryn did. They weren’t exciting him as much as the dark haired, long legged guy in a short skirt begging in such a beautiful tone of voice. 
It was a new video too, and Nerevar was already feeling excited just as he pressed play, laying in bed. It was the dead of night in otherwise complete darkness, perfect time to hide his shame. 
Voryn started off the video with a few thanks to new subscribers, before he really got down to it. It was a longer video too so he was warming himself up plenty, rubbing his lithe fingers across his t-dick until it was nice and hard, before giving a nice, just firm enough slap to his cunt.
Nerevar groaned, his cock twitching.
“Did you know… Someone called me a cock-tease today while I was out and it got me so wet…” Voryn groaned softly, before rubbing and stroking at his dick. 
“You are a fucking cock-tease…” Nerevar mumbled softly, stroking himself slowly. 
“Mmm… Even my nipples were so hard, poking through my shirt…” Nerevar knew that likely wasn’t the case; it was cold here, and Voryn hated the cold so much he layered up to the point you could barely see anything of him. Thick pants, thick socks, big boots, a hoodie and coat. Likely no one was calling him a fucking cock-tease and getting him all hot and bothered while he was out and about. 
But fuck if it wasn’t a fun think to imagine… Maybe the weather would be warmer, and Voryn was dressed like this. He could see them at the mall, like they often went when Nerevar wanted to check out some new games and Voryn tagged along complaining the whole time. Except this time Voryn would be hanging off his arm, stroking his back… Innocent enough touches until Nerevar was getting hot and bothered, only for Nerevar to grab him by the waist and call him a fucking cock-tease, whispering it in his ear…. 
And fuck, those pierced nipples poking through that thin, tight little shirt he was wearing, his cheeks flushed as he bit his lip… Nerevar knew he’d hardly be able to help himself. He’d subtly grab his ass too while he was at it—that or give it a nice firm slap before he continued on.
And then he’d take Voryn home and fuck him until he was screaming Nerevar’s name—
“I just need someone to put me in my place…” Voryn purred, before moaning as he thrust two fingers in and out of him. “I can only think with my slutty little boycunt…” Fuck, the sound of his fingers going in and out of him was making Nerevar’s head spin as he turned up the volume. “I need someone to bend me over and fuck me hard and fast. Fuck me until I lose my voice…” Nerevar’s cock twitched at that as his hand sped up. “Fill me up too~” Nerevar groaned audibly, biting his own lip. “Cum inside me recklessly… Or even hold me down and breed me intentionally, punish me for being a stupid little whore who can only think with his pussy~”
He then brought out a toy, setting it up with surprising speed, moving the camera with impressive skill, so it was clear to see his cut while he rode it, sliding up and down while moaning obscenely.
“Yes~!” He moaned wantonly. “I need someone to fuck me~!! Please, god, please fuck me~! Knock me up! Fuck me like a—like a toy~!” Nerevar was stroking fast now, his breathing heavy as he imagined Voryn riding him. “Just keep me like a little pet~! Please—“
Voryn continued to whine and moan, begging so needily and loudly, almost entirely earnestly too. Nerevar’s biggest criticism was how dull the moaning in porn was; bland, kinda bored, almost afraid of being too extreme so instead it was banal and almost distracting from the rest of it. But Voryn sounded so hot as he moaned and begged, fucking himself on that toy until he was closer and closer—
“Voryn~” Nerevar moaned as he came, eyes shut tight as shot thick ropes of cum, wishing more than anything that he was cumming inside of Voryn.
Then, he turned the video off, still panting, one arm thrown over his eyes as shame washed over him again.
“Fuck…” 
Nerevar tried to subscribe to others, but time and time again he found himself bored of them, returning once again to Voryn’s page. Honestly, I’m his efforts to break the habit, he tried to go two weeks without jacking off to the thought of Voryn, only to wake up from a wet dream about the other man and finishing himself off as he clung to the fantasy still drifting around in his head from sleep. 
It had now been months since this little habit of his started. The weather was warming up. Nerevar had even made a few bold comments on the videos from time to time, talking about how cute Voryn’s clothes were, how sexy his pierced nipples were and how he wanted to play with them, and how perfect he looked playing with his t-dick… He was using a username though, so obviously Voryn wouldn’t know, and it was in line with many of the other comments he got…
Of course, it would be one thing if it ended there. But it didn’t.
Voryn had a wishlist linked—something common enough. Sometimes he’d get sent stuff like new outfits, shoes, some makeup or skincare, and toys. And whenever he did, Voryn would make a special little video thanking them, usually showing it off and then jacking off. 
Nerevar found himself fantasizing though. Every time Voryn wore a familiar article of clothing Nerevar had seen before, he felt an almost possessive flare in him. He wanted Voryn dressed up just for him. He wanted Voryn touching himself while wearing things Nerevar bought him, fucking himself with a toy Nerevar told him to, legs spread wide as he moaned Nerevar’s name over and over again…
It was something he couldn’t get though, which made him swear every time. If you paid him enough, Voryn would moan your name in a special, private video. But Nerevar couldn’t do that—Voryn would fucking know it’s him. Nerevar’s name was uncommon as is, and there was no point giving a fake name either when it wouldn’t get him off the same way.
So instead, he wanted to get as close as possible. He saved up the money, looked at the wishlist, and bought all of his favorite stuff from it. A nice little outfit, a new toy, new underwear, and most importantly…
A collar. A nice, big collar to put on his pretty little neck.
When Nerevar got the notification for the video, he couldn’t help but grin as he turned off his game, hurried upstairs, and locked the door behind him. He got comfortable on the bed too, getting ready to watch, already thrilled by the fact Voryn was wearing the collar in the preview.
Fuck he looked hot in it. It looked better than Nerevar had even imagined.
“This is a very special video,” Voryn began, almost embarrassed. “One of my fans decided to spoil me, after all.” Nerevar couldn’t help but keep grinning as he put lube on his hand—before he’d go dry or just spit on his hand honestly, but he liked the slip now, feeding into his fantasies of fucking Voryn. 
“Look, he bought me a whole outfit. Even a collar, new shoes…” Voryn showed off a bit, before pulling the pleated skirt he was wearing up ever so slightly. “Even a nice new pair of panties for me…” Voryn then gave a knowing, coy look to the camera as he flicked his hand and let the short skirt fall. “Not to mention a toy I’ve been dying to try out I saved just for this video…”
It was a large vibrator. Nerevar had actually, for some ungodly reason, researched what would be the best and feel good. It was a personal massager wand, powerful enough it needed to be plugged in rather than just use batteries, and he threw in some attachments for it too. Others might buy toys based on what was hottest to watch, but Nerevar in some way wanted to make sure Voryn felt good too. 
It was tantalizing to watch as he slowly slid the underwear off, making a little show of the black lace coming down his thighs, before sitting himself on his bed, vibrator in hand.
“Much stronger than I’m used to…” Voryn sounded breathless as he looked at it. “So much bigger than it looked online…” He even had the attachments all out, ready to use. “I hope it won’t be too intense on my cock… Usually I just use my hands or a smaller toy on it, but he did say he wanted to watch me cum with this.” He shot another knowing look to the camera and Nerevar shivered, watching as he moved it down between his legs, and turned it on the lowest setting.
Voryn then made an undignified yelp, moving up and back off his cock, before moaning as he slid it closer and closer, his hips squirming.
“So good~!” Voryn moaned earnestly. “F-fuck it’s—“ Another loud moan cut him off as he panted, eyes rolled back. “I can’t think~!! My brain is melting! It feels too damn good on my cock~!!” 
Nerevar was groaning himself, stroking himself off as he watched eagerly. His hips were squirming so much, his cunt barely visible from the large head of the vibrator as one hand had to grip it tight, the other gripping his sheets. 
“Yes~! Fuck yes!!” Gods Nerevar loved hearing him swear with such a pretty little mouth and deep voice. In the comments coming in Nerevar could see the others were enjoying it too, praising him for cumming so hard, and how hard his t-dick was by the end of it. Nerevar licked his lips, eager to see how he’d look by the end. He loved the visible tear stains from when he came so hard, his cock hard, pussy completely soaked… He just knew it was going to be one of those videos by the end, his absolutely favorite kind—
A text then came in, and Nerevar dropped his phone in shock. He fumbled, Voryn still moaning in his headphones as he paused the video, opening up the text with his heart racing in anxiety.
It was from Voryn. 
“I’m downstairs. I knocked and called but you didn’t answer.” 
Fuck. Fuck he must have missed the call while he was getting ready to jack off. He hurried, wiping his hands and pulling on his pants and shirt as a second text came in. “Your car is here so I know you’re home Neht.”
A few more moments of fumbling, closing the video entirely as he redressed and hurried down stairs, only to see a very annoyed Voryn waiting for him. His arms were crossed, bag slung over his shoulder, plush hoodie on.
“It took you long enough.” Voryn rolled his eyes. Nerevar was still in panic mode though, laughing nervously, cheeks and ears red.
“Yeah I was just—just watching a stream upstairs. I must have missed your call in the bathroom!” He was overexplaining now, a clear tell he was bullshitting. Should he act angry instead? Voryn had been the one to drop by unannounced. “I didn’t mean to keep you waiting.”
Voryn hummed as he walked in, taking off his shoes—the nice, modest pair of boots Nerevar had bought for him in fact. He swallowed roughly at the sight, hoping his arousal, which still hadn’t fully gone down despite his panicking? wasn’t showing.
“I’m sure you didn’t.” He said, in a tone Nerevar couldn’t tell was sarcastic or not. 
“Did you—did you need something? I mean,” Nerevar fumbled again, tongue tied having been interrupted mid masturbation just as it was getting good by said person he was jacking off to. “Y-you don’t normally show up here out of the blue, so I…”
“I don’t, no.” Voryn shrugged slightly. “But I wanted to show you something.”
“Show me something?” Nerevar raised an eyebrow, but he couldn’t help but get nervous. 
“It’s a present for you, in a way.” Voryn replied, already walking up the stairs to Nerevar’s room. Reluctantly, Nerevar followed, still wondering what this was all about. Maybe Voryn got him a new game? Some new streaming equipment? New computer parts from Sil? Who fucking knew anymore. 
At least in his room, despite a few clothes on the ground and his blankets a mess, it didn’t look suspicious. Voryn didn’t even comment on his computer not being on despite Nerevar having supposedly been watching a stream earlier.
“So…” Nerevar began as Voryn stood there for a moment, before casually tossing the bag on Nerevar’s rather large bed. “What’s the present?” 
“Sit down first.” Voryn said, and cautiously still, Nerevar sat down on the bed, still anxious. Something about Voryn’s behavior was a bit off—his movements were too stiff, and it made Nerevar’s guilt eat away at him. 
While he his mind was anxiously running circles in his head, Voryn rifled around the bag, pulling something out he hid with the sleeve of his hoodie, before turning away. He was then messing with something Nerevar couldn’t see, before tugging the hoodie up and over his head, black hair falling down his back.
When he turned around though, Nerevar stopped breathing. His brain short circuited as he realized what Voryn was wearing.
The shirt Nerevar got him. The fucking collar too that he had quickly put on, was around his neck. Nerevar couldn’t even fully process it though as Voryn put a hand on his shoulder, sliding up it, before moving to his ear.
“I brought the skirt too, if you want to see it…” Voryn whispered, and Nerevar nearly choked.
“I-I’m—“ His face was burning red, he could feel it. “W-what are you talking about?”
“Don’t give me that.” Voryn brought one knee up on the bed, half straddling him. “You used that username in middle school all the time, do you think I wouldn’t know it was you?” Nerevar went stiff as a board under him, swearing up a storm mentally. 
“Voryn, I’m so—“
“Shut up.” Voryn covered his mouth with his hand, though he didn’t look that angry. In fact, he only looked mildly annoyed. “I didn’t say anything at first. I thought you must just be playing a prank on me. And then…” Voryn’s face softened. “You started leaving comments, paying more and more…” Nerevar swallowed roughly again as Voryn got a half-lidded look to his eyes. “Constantly praising my body, telling me how I was perfect for you…” Voryn had uncovered his mouth now, instead thumbing his lower lip as Nerevar stared up at him. “How badly you wanted to touch me…”
Nerevar’s throat felt dry as he tried hard to keep his eyes from drifting down towards the collar around Voryn’s neck.
“And then you went and bought me all this. Leaving a note that you wanted to see me dressed up just for you…” Voryn brought his other knee up now, fully straddling him with his other hand wrapped around Nerevar’s shoulder. For balance, Nerevar braced himself with one hand on the bed behind him, the other delicately placed on Voryn’s waist in case he fell. “And how you wanted to watch me cum over and over with that toy too…”
“I…” Nerevar didn’t know what to say. He couldn’t fucking breathe; Voryn looked so much more beautiful right here, barely any makeup on and straddling him, than he did in any of the videos Nerevar had seen. 
Then, Voryn gave him a coy little smile. “I brought the toy too, if you want to watch me.” Nerevar’s breath hitched, his pupils dilating. “I’ll let you use it on me if you want to.” Voryn stroked some of the messy hair from Nerevar’s face. “Would you like that?” 
“Yes,” Nerevar whispered breathlessly. “Yes I…” 
Voryn then pulled up his shirt, revealing his chest. Nerevar could have moaned from just the sight.
“You’re always commenting on how much you like my piercings.” Voryn was smirking now. “Go on. Enjoy them.”

I'm working on a fic right now and slightly exploring Larry and Geeta's work relationship / friendship and honestly am having fun. So...headcanon time!
I just...I really like the idea that they have known each other for a long time and that Geeta is fully aware of Larry is capable of. She struggles, and has struggled for years, to understand how he just...changed to being normal. She has seen him at his best and finest hour and watched as he just...accepted normalcy and wears it like he has for his whole life. She watched how he traded fine trainer clothes of the highest quality for a few mid-quality suits and silk dress shirts. However, despite all of that, their dynamics never changed. People may think he's being serious about how she is as a boss and she thought so at first once his behavior changed but then she realized his humor is just...incredibly dry and flat. (She thinks she misses the sarcasm at first until it's directed at her in the blandest of tones. Then she finds she still hates it.) But she likes it because it compliments hers. She knows people are unsettled by her, that they have their views of her management skills and her person. Her blank gaze scares them, her attitude and behavior alienate her from people, and her smile is often misread. Yet she can pop into Larry's office with a grin on her face and stare at him as he tells her whatever is bothering him on his Spreadsheet of the Day.
Larry is one of the few people that Geeta can really just be herself around. She can let her stare become distant while she talks to him, can sit up a little straighter and become rigid as she discusses League business. She can let her words become a little sing song-y, let her body sway like it's floating when she tells him about her day. She can let Glimmora float around his office and Larry won't mind when she tries to bite his hair or burrow into his walls. She'll threaten to dock his pay for working overtime past acceptable overtime because she wants him to go home and not being a workaholic. (She knows that a lot of his money goes into Medali, goes to random trainers to pay for snacks and supplies, goes to Poppy's fundraisers and pays for Rika's obscene amount of magazine subscriptions. She knows that he has a frankly large amount of losses to bets against Hassel and that the money he gives Hassel goes to the Academy to help low income students. She knows that a large chunk of his money is also sent to another region of which she cannot figure out. She also knows that his money is spent on Pokémon clothes that she has never seen his team wear and also on gems and jewels that she knows for a fact sit in a jewelry box she got him when he accepted being the Medali gym leader. She knows that he's a man who cares not for anything but a good meal, so money doesn't actually mean much to him.)
She can put her socked feet on his lap while he glares at his computer, complaining that as his work wife she feels neglected. He'll dryly respond that there are divorce papers in his desk but please wait until Thursday to fill them out he has deadlines he needs to finish. He'll sigh when she hands him another file on an up and coming gym challenger yet they will spend the next several hours battling just so that Larry can take out his frustrations of having to stop his work to battle. She'll smile when she catches the way Larry smiles ever so slightly when he sees the diamond on Staraptor's head and the balloons on Flamigo's. She'll watch as he sits with Flamigo after their match and discuss what they need to do better next time while Glimmora floats over to say hello to her best friend. He'll not comment on how Flamingo was extremely close to successfully beating her team while she calls for repairs on the room.
Geeta may not understand why Larry chose to accept normalcy as his way of life, why he stopped battling with the passion he once had as a younger man, but she has slowly come to accept it, even if it's hard for her to do so. She doesn't understand how her rival, the one who brought out the best in her battles and of her, could just turn away from all of that to a life of letters and numbers. However, she is forever grateful that despite that he didn't end their friendship and alienate himself.
Larry struggles to understand Geeta's management style and why she has turned away from her worldly goals to focus just on Paldea. While he himself understands his dislike towards her at times, a fact she is well aware of and it brings her joy to know he can express his dislike, he doesn't fully understand why other leaders do as well given that she is very upfront with her expectations and goals. He doesn't understand why she insists on him using flying type for his Elite Four team when that was just the silly dream of a child. However, he is grateful that there is someone who understands him, who has sought to continue to understand him.
So yes, they don't always see eye to eye, they snark and get on each other's nerves, but they are the only two people who really understand the other.
However, Larry would really like it if Geeta would just let him work overtime. It's not harming anyone and it's less work for her to do.

imagine Steve spoiling his friends/partners/etc. with his shitty excuse for a father's money. cause gift giving is totally one of his love languages, I will die on this hill.
now apply this to any of these scenerios (this is all on top of the general but utmost spoiling):
little!Billy - getting him all the nicest toys, being able to make him his own safe room, taking care of his little ones every wish.
trans!Billy (transfem, transmasc, gender fluid, etc. this works for any of them). getting transfem Billie cute little dresses and lingerie, any makeup she eyes in the store, the finest jewelry, helping her get any cosmetics or hormones she desires, spoiling her absolutely rotten. filling gender fluid! Billy's closet with whatever they want. paying for transmasc! Billy's top surgery and T.
trans!Tommy - similar to billy, paying for his medical care, buying him all the clothes he wants, packers too (his boy deserves the best).
puppy!Tommy - getting him his first hood and tail, getting him a pretty leather collar and harness.
kinky!Eddie - getting him the best toys (for him to use in that was a typo but I'm leaving it there lmao Steve later), the finest sheets, the cutest lingerie (again, normally for Steve to wear and for Eddie to enjoy). he makes sure to splurge on the nicest rope and doesn't cheap out in the new headboard.
~SFW AND PLATONIC FROM HERE ON~
Chrissy - going grocery and clothes shopping with Chrissy, helping her ignore all the sizes and nutrition values. making sure she gets everything she wants, and never feels ashamed for it. getting her flowers when she goes out of her comfort zone on something.
the kids - taking the kids to the arcade and giving them like 20 bucks each and letting them run wild. getting max the best skateboard/skate gear for her birthday. getting the kids stuff for their campaign's. helping upgrade the schools av club material. giving Erica, max, and El money to go to the mall (had it not been destroyed or linked to evil Russians)
Robin - splurging in robins safe foods so he always had some in him or at his house. buying her whatever fidgets and expensive but insanely comfortable clothes. buys her new books/instruments/writing materials/etc. (I hc her as very creative. she likes to read and write poetry, write and play music and songs, she loves to read in general). he finacially (Nancy deals with the paperwork and legal aspects) helps her copyright and publish her own books, stories, music, and poetry.
Nancy - she takes her combat/gun skills seriously even after the upside down and he invests in her classes/guns/gym membership. helps her start her own press, and doesn't let her give him a free subscription.
shoulders some of the parents (minus the wheelers, cause they suck) bills here and there when they let him. he normally finds ways to do it indirectly so they don't realize it.
Jonathan - he buys him new cameras here and there, spots him for the good weed when argyles not around. (pretty neutral on stonathan, so that's why he's down here)
tell me he wouldn't.

at this point when I see any kind of new Harry Potter thing coming out I don’t even really get mad anymore I just feel exhausted because the main attraction ended over a decade ago and they completely desiccated the cash cow’s corpse about 5 years ago but they keep trying to wring out any drop of relevancy they can get and it’s like. aren’t these holdout fans tired yet? aren’t you tired of being expected to get excited for every mediocre game and movie and TV series? aren’t you sick of all these brand collabs that have tenuous at best connections to the source material? like aren’t you exhausted from having them release designer goods with glasses and owls on them and jewelry in house colors and subscription boxes of wizard candy and cheaply made clothes made to look like Hogwarts athletic wear? like even if JKR’s transphobia isn’t a dealbreaker for you I don’t understand how you’re still this enthusiastic about something that’s been little more than a cash grab for the past 5 years or so. you are like No Face just mindlessly consuming whatever gets put in front of you.

Tumblr media
"Cynthia" was a mannequin created in 1932 by Lester Gaba, a sculptor, retail display designer and later a teacher and writer. An unusually natural and human looking mannequin, Gaba used the attention Cynthia garnered to further anthropomorphize her. As a result, Gaba and Cynthia became famous, with Gaba becoming known for his mannequins, and with Cynthia appearing on a cover of Life Magazine, and being invited to the wedding of the former Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson in 1937.[1] Gaba's development of lighter weight mannequins, with more natural, human features, along with Cynthia's popularity impacted the use of mannequins in retail sales marketing.
Tumblr media
In 1932, artist Lester Gaba created Cynthia for Saks Fifth Avenue, a 100-pound (45 kg) plaster model who, unusually, had realistic human imperfections like freckles, pigeon toes, and even different sized feet. Gaba posed with Cynthia around New York City for a Life Magazine shoot, and Cynthia appeared on the cover of the magazine, humorously demonstrating how life-like mannequins had become. Gaba further anthropomorphized Cynthia, and she began to receive invitations, fan mail and gifts, and to attend events. Gaba insisted that Cynthia had laryngitis, to account for her lack of speech during personal appearances. Additionally, a whole host of "Gaba Girls" were to follow. The Gaba Girls were life-sized, carved-soap mannequins modeled after well-known New York debutantes for the windows of Best & Company. They were much lighter, at 30 pounds (14 kg), than the typical 200-pound (91 kg) New York store mannequin. With the Gaba Girls and their realistic successors’ appeal, mannequins became an important new tool used by sellers to attract their clientele.
Tumblr media
Cynthia herself soon became dazzlingly famous. Cartier and Tiffany sent her jewelry, Lilly Daché designed hats for her, and couturiers sent her their latest fashions, furrieries sent minks. Cynthia began to receive large quantities of fan mail, was photographed by Alfred Eisenstaedt. She was given a credit card from Saks Fifth Avenue, and had a box seat subscription to the Metropolitan Opera House. She had her own newspaper column, and a successful radio show. In 1938, she went to Hollywood to appear in the movie Artists and Models Abroad. In 1939, she was back in New York to see the notorious play Madame Bovary at the Broadhurst Theater. Cynthia met her demise when she slipped from a chair in a beauty salon and shattered.[1] The press reported her death, and Gaba appeared distraught, but eventually reconstructed her. In December 1942, however, Gaba was inducted into the army. Cynthia retired, and it wasn't until 1953 that she came back to the public in a TV show. But the magic was over, and Cynthia was soon to be stored in a cupboard for good.

(gonna subscript it so it hopefully isn't as long as the color of the sky)
Buckleup chucklefucks (affectionate) I am looking for a husband (matchup event please <3) Papas if that's okay, because I'm not super familiar with all the ghouls. Even though I'm pretty sure Jez is going to say Papa Nihil - Crusty Edition just to spite me lmao
Some starter information about me: I'm an INFP MBTI and a Scorpio. I'm "introverted, idealistic, creative, and driven by high values" and motivated by helping others and understanding the world. I'm passionate person, in everything I do, really, but especially with romantic relationships. I am a hopeless romantic. (also, Scorpio is supposedly the most sexual zodiac haha) I can be slow to warm up to people, but once I do, I am ride-or-die and loyal to a fault. I'm ambitious in the sense that I want to learn the world's secrets and help others live their best lives. I'm a very philosophical and dedicated to my academic studies, primarily interested in psychology, society, and culture. Otherwise I'm a creative person and a storyteller. I draw political art and write poetry to channel thoughts of depression and isolation. I tend to take up random projects I fixate on, like building a guitar or making jewelry. I sing in a choir setting and casually play electric and acoustic guitar, as well as electric bass. Physically, I am transmasc and embrace the "feminine in a boy way" vibe. I'm short and have a lanky build, but have been cursed with curvy legs and ass like Copia because I walk so much on campus RIP. I've got dark curly hair (kinda the Damiano David vibe before the buzz cut), extremely light brown/amber eyes and long lashes that stab me in the eyeball on a daily basis, and tan complexion. In the face, I've got the van dyke goatee going on, and a strong jawline and cheekbones. I swear, I'm not this vain, I'm just putting my best foot forward when in all reality I could write a novel using all my insecurities lol
Congrats on the follower milestone and thank y'all so much! I love the emeritus-fuckers team and all that you do! I know all 3 of you are super busy, so absolutely no rush! :)
Your match is… Terzo
Tumblr media
It took a while for you both to get to know each other properly, to open up. But when you did, you both fell completely head over heels. He is very passionate. You are both hopeless romantics so it works well!
So, you are the most sexual zodiac sign, it’s a good thing Terzo can, err, keep up with you, should we say.
He loves that you want to help others. It’s part of what initially drew him to you. As well as your wonder about the world and your creative spirit!
He is very content watching you throw yourself into your studies. That happy concentrated smile you have on your face, it just makes him fall for you more.
He adores your storytelling! He’ll listen hooked on your every word.
On a summers evening, you often lie next to each other, by a campfire, looking at the stares, swapping stories (he is also good at telling a tale).
And if you get cold he’ll wrap you up in his arms and lay little kisses all over you.
As for your projects, he’ll throw himself in with equal enthusiasm no matter how random it is!
If you ever feel depressed or isolated, he’s there for you. He’ll hold you close to him and reassure you. He’ll then sit and write songs while you channel your feelings into poetry or art.
He loves listening to you sing in the choir. He’s always enjoyed choral music anyway but to hear you sing it is even better. If you do concerts he’s at every single one.
He loves how you look. He’s a bit of a perv in the way he shows it, but he’d never do anything that would make you uncomfortable (he would ask what your boundaries are.).
He would say this to you “It’s not vain, you err should be putting your best foot forward! Papa is very proud of you.”

What's the best 3D modelling software between SketchUp and Rhinoceros?
The choice between SketchUp and Rhinoceros (Rhino) depends on your specific needs, the type of 3D modeling tasks you'll be , and your familiarity with each software. Both SketchUp and Rhino are powerful 3D modeling tools, but they have different strengths and applications. Here's a comparison to help you decide:
SketchUp:
Ease of Use: SketchUp is known for its user-friendly interface, making it accessible for beginners and those new to 3D use a push-pull method for creating 3D shapes, which is intuitive.
Workflow: SketchUp is particularly well-suited for architectural and interior design is widely used for quick conceptual modeling and sketching.
Community and Resources: SketchUp has a large and active user community. There are numerous tutorials and plugins available, making it easy to find help and resources.
Integration: SketchUp integrates well with other software, and its 3D Warehouse allows users to share and download models.
Cost: SketchUp offers a free version (SketchUp Free) with limited features. The Pro version, which has more advanced features, is available with a subscription.
Rhinoceros (Rhino):
Versatility: Rhino is known for its versatility and is used in a wide range of industries, including industrial design, automotive design, jewelry design, and architecture.it is not limited to specific design disciplines and is capable of handling complex geometric shapes.
Precision and Accuracy: Rhino is highly regarded for its precision and accuracy, making it suitable for projects that require detailed and intricate modeling.
NURBS Modeling: Rhino uses NURBS (Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines) modeling, which is well-suited for creating smooth and curved surfaces. This is especially valuable in product and industrial design.
Plug-ins and Grasshopper: Rhino has a robust set of plugins that extend its capabilities. Grasshopper, a visual scripting language plugin, allows for parametric and algorithmic design.
Learning Curve: Rhino has a steeper learning curve compared to SketchUp, especially for users new to 3D modeling. However, it offers powerful tools for those willing to invest time in learning.
Conclusion:
If you prioritize ease of use, quick conceptual modeling, and architectural design, SketchUp may be the better choice.
If you need versatility, precision, and are working on projects that involve complex geometry, Rhino may be more suitable.
Ultimately, the "best" software depends on your specific requirements and the type of projects you undertake. Many professionals use both SketchUp and Rhino in their workflows, choosing the tool that best fits the task at hand.

Naomi & Issac - 1
Remember these guys? Well I fleshed those suckers out. Prepare for suffering y'all.
CW: Pet whump, vampires, death mention, a lot of blood mentions, whumpee thinks caretaker is their new master
1.3k (though the first ~500 words are just me talking about my modern vampire lore)
~~~~~~
Naomi had been pacing for hours trying to rationalize what she did. ‘This is the best option,’ They told themself, “At least this way, I can make sure I’m getting blood ethically. No one has to die.’ They knew they had to drink something. When she first turned, she was quick to dress like the vampire she was and cut their hair to show off their bite. She loved the idea of being dark and mysterious, living as a cryptid- a beast. It sounds strange, but a part of her was excited to start living a vampiric life- well, maybe “life” isn’t quite right. 
Then came the fading from mirrors and nausea from eating anything at all. Having to blow eighteen-hundred bucks on a casket was a bit of a gut punch. As were the several blackout curtains they needed to avoid third-degree sunburns. It was annoying to have to sell her silver jewelry and even more so to break out in hives when even slightly near a single fucking garlic clove–
But they could deal with all that. They could bite the bullet in exchange for immortality. 
No one told Naomi that blood cravings were the very last step in turning. 
Just when they had gotten used to waking up a 8pm in a box, right as they had grown accustomed to guessing what their hair and makeup might look like, exactly when the worst of it seemed to be over, there was this pit in their stomach. They were so thirsty. Before resorting to humans, they tried draining raw meat. Nothing. Then a live pig. It didn’t do much. They knew this would happen, of course it would, but they hadn’t expected it to be this painful, and they definitely didn’t know the blood had to be human. 
So, they researched how to get human blood. And sure, you can buy a little legally from donors, but it was so far outside their budget that is was barely even an option. But the cheaper alternatives, aimed at vampires specifically, seemed so needlessly cruel. For every new company she could find, she asked how they supplied their blood. The response was always the same. Humans would be hooked up to IVs, blood coming out of one, and saline coming in from the other. Sometimes they ere given solid food, but at most places, they used a feeding tube. Naomi almost quit, residing themself to finding and extra $700 for 100 tiny milliliters- but then they saw one more hyperlink. 
“Stop paying for subscriptions! Buy a living Bloodbag today!” Exactly as she thought, they were selling humans. She was disgusted at first, but, then she thought about it more. These people were being drained of their blood anyway, so if she buys one, at least they’ll be treated humanely? Maybe it was the thirst talking for them, but they decided to purchase a person. 
They couldn’t afford another massive dent in their bank account, so they scrolled all the way down to the cheapest one. A twenty-seven year old man named Issac Rivera, blood type O+. That, and his picture, was the only information available. He was pale and sickly with blue eyes and tangled brown hair. He had blue eyes and it looked like he had finished crying moments before the photo was taken. Naomi hoped they were making the right choice. 
Which is what landed them here. Waiting for the poor boy to be delivered straight to their door. She had tried to make herself look nonthreatening. She didn’t want to scare him. They wore the mast casual and normal clothes in their dresser and pulled their hair into a little baby ponytail. 
A knock on the door.
It was an older looking man dressed in all black and carrying a parasol in one hand and a rolling suitcase in the other. Oh gods. 
“Naomi Castillo?” He asked. 
“That’s me.” They smiled. Their eyes wouldn’t leave the suitcase, since they were fairly certain that there was a person in there. He handed it over and she felt him kick. 
“If you ever need training or extraction tools, they are available on our site.” It keeps getting worse. 
“Of course, thank you.” Naomi hoped their smile looked real. The man walked away and she quickly unzipped the case. 
~
Issac had been sold. He never thought it would happen. He had occasionally been compared to cheap box wine. Perhaps the vampire that bought him wanted something quick and inexpensive. The conversation between his captor and his new owner was muffled, but he felt the case he was in change hands. He instinctively covered the arteries on his neck. She was saying something, but he wasn’t listening. He knew exactly what would happen- she would rip his hand from him neck and drain what little he had left. 
A hand touched his, and he braced for impact. But, he was being led away. Before he could question it, he was sat down on something soft. He hadn’t opened his eyes yet and he wasn’t planning on it. Next thing he knew, something cold was against his lips. Taking just a small peek, it was a water bottle. He shouldn’t trust it, but his mouth was so dry that he just let it go down his throat. 
After the bottle pulled away, he waited for the pain of the bite. He waited and waited, but nothing came. Eventually, he opened his eyes and looked at the vampire next to him, as if he was asking her what she was waiting for. But they just smiled at him. 
“Can you speak?” That wasn’t expected. He used to get told off for talking to himself. 
“Yeah…” His voice was raspy. They handed him back the bottle. 
“Okay, great, um, I’m Naomi!” They gestured to themself. Issac was going to introduce himself, but they already would have known. “Are you hungry?” Naomi arose from the sofa when he nodded, “I don’t have much, I got rid of most of the perishable stuff when I turned. Do you want… dry cereal? I can maybe put it in water- no that sounds gross.” Issac accidentally gave her a look. She was different from the other vampires he had the displeasure of knowing. A bit more dazed and certainly less elegant. 
“Just… dry is fine.” He said. He had no reason to trust them, but he hadn’t had real, solid food in such a long time that if she was planning on drugging him, then he could live with that. He ate in completely awkward silence as Naomi tired not to make eye contact. Internally, Issac was panicking. Yes, he had been trained just in case he was sold, but he hadn’t been for such a long time that he barely even remembered it. Hopefully it would come rushing back to him when he was properly fed and rested. 
“Uh, I put a mattress in a spare room. Do you wanna go to bed?” It’s like they read his mind. Can vampires read minds? He didn’t know. He was tired. He nodded. 
She led him away gently, and closed the door, leaving him alone in the makeshift bedroom. He didn’t have the energy to consider what was going to happen to him. Naomi was weird. Maybe it wasn’t even real. He’s had these kind of dreams before. Maybe when he wakes up he’ll be back in the facility with needles in his arms and a tube down his nose. Or maybe he’ll wake up here and she’ll peirce him with her fangs. He always wondered what a real bite would feel like. It would probably hurt worse than the needle. 
Whatever. He could worry about that when he can keep his eyes open.

What is Cricut Monogram Maker, and Who can Use it?
The Monogram Maker in the Cricut Design Space is a brand-new feature that users can access by tapping on the Monogram tool on the left side of the Cricut Canvas. You will see numerous options used to design beautiful monograms. You will know all the essential features in this tutorial.
The Monogram Maker feature is only accessible to Cricut Access subscribers. Cricut Access is a monthly subscription service for fonts and services. You get over 4,000 fonts and 200,000 images as a part of your subscription. You will also obtain perks, such as discounts on product orders and the Monogram Maker.
Instructions to Use Cricut Monogram Maker
Launch a new project in the Cricut Design Space software. The Monogram tool will appear when you tap on the Monogram icon in the Design Panel. Let’s check out each feature of the tool.
Operation Type
Operation type enables users to filter monograms that they can cut through the blade in the Cricut machine and monograms that are cut and drawn ( or foil).      
Initials
Here users can write their four initials, for example, CAG. Remember that users need their last name in their last space. This is because many monogram designs have huge letters for the last name, and the Cricut Design Space will utilize the last letter you write as your last name.
Changing Fonts
Now, you must select the desired font. Below the header Classic, you will find several fonts for your monogram, such as handwritten, elegant, modern, and vintage categories. Under every category you will see numerous fonts under different categories. In most monogram types, the last name is at the center and more significant than the other letters.
Simple Borders
Based on your desired font, you can include a simple border. So, for instance, choose the second font below the Modern category, then select a round border. This will automatically change your font color to match your border. Next, you can add this to Canvas. Also, you can convert the colors of the monogram through the color tool on the top.

In a few monogram styles, if users change one color in the monogram on the Cricut Canvas, every color changes. You can utilize the Contour Tool and duplicate to separate the layers, but for new users, it can be confusing or fussy.
Thematic Monograms
If you tap on the Thematic tab (next to Classic), you will see a vast range of monogram frames, such as decorative, botanical, interests, occasions, and sports. When you tap on the desired frame, you will view the numerous monograms you can utilize with a frame under the image. You can tap on the original monogram styles and scroll the page using the arrow.
There are numerous options to select the desired one, but sadly Cricut still needs to include the three-letter monogram for your circle monogram frames.
Materials for Monograms
After creating your desired monogram, tap on the Add to Canvas tab, and you can also modify the image. After that, cut the image in your chosen material.
Final Verdict
Cricut has recently made crafting with numerous monograms a lot simpler with the launch of Monogram Maker in Design Space. You can create monograms with letters or many frame options to blend around the monogram. It is a super easy method to create a custom monogram. Users can use monograms on projects, including robes, wedding items, ornaments, tumblers, jewelry, and more. Also, the monogrammed projects make beautiful gifts for your friends or family.
