Where did Quantic Dream confirm Nines’ personality? The only thing I’ve seen is that they said that Nines’ name would have also been Connor.

Also, yes please on making that post about why reed900 is popular. I missed out on most of the fandom so I’d love to read that.

RK900's Canon Personality

I answered this in a different ask -- hadn't posted it before I received this one, lol -- but it was confirmed in Quantic Dream's 1st Twitch livestream. The same stream they confirmed that Niner's canon name is 'Connor.' It happened only moments apart.

For those of you who haven't seen it: he's canonically, "not likable, not sweet, but intimidating and scary" as well as "a bad guy."

Reasons Why Reed900 is Popular

This will be a long list...

Niner used to be a blank slate before QD told us what his personality was, so ppl could mold him into whatever they wanted.

Some ppl started shipping Reed900 after learning about Niner's canon personality as they realized he could be perfect for Gav.

Some ppl find it more interesting to 'redeem' characters than to write about goody-two-shoes, and canonically, both Gav/Niner are questionable morality-wise.

Some ppl are into 'enemies to lovers' and/or 'the evil power couple.'

In terms of backstories, Gav/Niner are (mostly) blank slates. All we really know about Gav's backstory is that he's "garnered the hatred of his coworkers," hates Hank, hates androids, recently got his scar (confirmed by Neil Newbon + the fact that the scar isn't white,) and doesn't sleep well (eye bags.) All we know about Niner's backstory is that he's the upgraded version of Con.

Happenstance.

Niner is Con's identical twin appearance-wise (aside from the eyes) and some ppl were intrigued by the conflict of Gav falling in love with someone sharing the face with someone he hates.

Some ppl wanted to explore the conflict where Gav had to learn how to think of androids as individuals when realizing how different Niner and Con are.

Some ppl wanted to ship Gav with Con, but Con was already widely shipped with someone else.

Some ppl wanted to ship Gav with Con, but knew it would never work... so they settled for a character who looked similar.

Technically relates to the point above, but Sixty wasn't 'unique enough' for a lot of ppl. Niner was. Both his eye color and outfit are different from Con's.

Some ppl wanted to explore Gav's character in a romantic setting and just picked Niner to do it with.

Both Neil (Gav's actor) and Bryan Dechart (Niner's actor) are very interactive with the fans whilst expressing they have nothing against the ship.

Both Neil and Bryan have essentially 'promoted' the ship by bringing attention to a popular Reed900 fan film.

Neil has interacted with the actors of said fan film on at least one Twitch stream by playing the game with them.

Some ppl started shipping them bc of said fan film.

Some ppl came across (and liked) fan works.

Some ppl think they're hot together.

Some ppl self-insert into Gav/Niner and essentially ship them with themselves (narcissistic, pathetic, and creepy AF.)

Some ppl wanted to 'punish' Gav for simply being mean to fan-favorite Con. They use Niner as an insult to injury sharing Con's face to abuse Gav -- mentally/physically/s*xually -- and put Gav in all kinds of humiliating/awful situations (sadists.)

Some ppl ship them for clout. At least one popular Reed900 3D artist has admitted they couldn't care less about canon Gav and the ship itself. They just care about exposure and how many likes/reblogs, etc. they get posting about the ship bc it's popular.

Those are the reasons I can think of rn.

God though, really. Remember that time after Dead Like Me but before Hannibal when showrunner Bryan Fuller made a bright colorful dark romantic comedy murder procedural starring Lee Pace, Chi McBride, Anna Friel, and Kristin Chenoweth that regularly had musical numbers, including maybe the most gorgeous cover of “Morning Has Broken” from broadway/cabaret singer Ellen Greene, and delightful runaway pitterpat dialogue, and it only got one season with a kinda wonky end because the studio used the writer’s strike to kill it even though it was a critical darling that immediately garnered a devoted fan base?

I remember.

That part where Joel takes the gun from Ellie and tells her to go get behind the wall (so she won’t see him kill bryan) was such a tragically parent thing to do. (and not the literal killing part just the part where he tells her to go where she can’t see him do terrible things).

And the fact was Ellie knew that there was no saving Bryan (even though he showed he seem to not want to hurt them). Means that she knew that there was no way Joel would let the man live. It was too dangerous for him, too dangerous for her. I mean heck look at what Joel did to the FEDRA soldier to protect her.

Granted these are two different scenarios but both of them still carry the risks of letting people go even after you’ve hurt them enough to knock them out or keep them from following you. Joels actions are logical however unethical they may be.

Two things that really get me though are:

1. that after joel tells her to hide behind the wall, she doesnt fight, doesnt argue, just goes and runs to the wall knowing what he was about to do was necessary. And that he didnt want to do it in front of her.

2. As soon as Ellie turned around and walked back to the wall the man (bryan) got desperate and scared. He and his mother survived the outbreak, and they probably did it by killing people (and infected who got in their way) so he most likely understood what Joel was trying to do and knew it was over for him. But still he tries to garner Joels sympathy by telling him about his mother. Surprise, it doesnt work RIP Bryan.

I also damn near cried when this happened because Joel was trying so hard to keep Ellie away from the gruesome parts of life when he could. Only to hear that that wasnt the first time she’d hurt someone. and boy that must have been a kick to the stomach.

#the last of us #the last of us hbo #the last of us hbo spoilers #joel miller #ellie williams #I honestly dont know if this is even comprehensible #but main theme is joels dad instinct go brr #and joel was probably thinking about if his daughter would have been in Ellies place

Country Music has been having a decline in sales and streams for a while now, but there was a new record label that was ready to change that.

This new label had come out of nowhere and suddenly started to sign many big names in the industry, including some big country stars.

One of them was Luke Bryan and they had big plans, they would use hypnosis on him and completely rebrand him making him act more slutty and promiscuous which would be reflected through his new music which was mostly about his body and having sex with men. 

it would also be reflected through his music videos and live performances which would consist of him thrusting, stripping, and shaking his ass.

His new image would go on to be a massive hit garnering him a ton of sales and streams along with a new rabid gay fanbase.

After Luke’s newfound success, the label would begin implementing similar changes to their other country artists forever changing the genre as it became more sexualized.

I think that because of the state of my life and how it's going that I might genuinely cry if Eddie Kingston beats Bryan Danielson at Revolution. It would truly mean so much to me to see that right now.

For the uninitiated, it would mean the world to Eddie to finally get a win over someone he admires for his craft, skill and the respect he garners from others but also a man that he loathes so much for the way he's been treated by him.

it would mean a lot to me to see eddie overcome his biggest enemy (himself) and defeat someone who says that eddie will never beat him. it would mean a lot to me to see eddie overcome his biggest enemy (himself) and defeat someone who says that eddie will never beat him.

If youre of a certain age then your whole life is about overcoming obstacles and getting out of your own way. Tonight is Eddie's time to prove he's not his worst enemy anymore.

I will feel so vindicated as a fan. As a person.

rambling commentary of the nxx boys' eng name etymologies and how i think theyre so so fitting

wc: 1.4k

disclaimers: name etymology is hugely expansive cuz a lot of the same names naturally occurred in different cultures with different meanings. or similar names had converged from different cultures through time. basically, names can have a Lot of meanings, and if i went thru every single one we’d be here for far too long. so i just picked out the meanings i found most interesting in conjunction with the respective nxx boy :D

-

artem wing: the greek goddess of the hunt + safety

starting with artem cuz hes the one ive got least to say about HAHAJKSBJSD

his surname is straightforward, thats just Part Of Bird, and in terms of interpretation, it could easily be seen as a great reflection and/or symbol for the wing family's achievements. bryan wing, kimberly an garner, and artem wing, are all so accomplished it's as if their ambition and skill reaches towards the sky. his first name tho is what interested me more.

"Artem" is the Ukranian form of the Greek name "Artemios" which is derived from, you guessed it, Artemis herself, goddess of the hunt (and a whole lot of other things).

mythologically, a whole BUNCH of interpretations and links can be made between artemis and artem, but the one that stuck out to me most is the fact that artemis is widely regarded as one of the most venerated and respected greek deities. a really nice parallel, imo, to artem's own incredible reputation in stellis. but something thats also cool is that the name "Artemis" could possibly be linked to the greek word ἀρτεμής (artemes) which means "safe" which, again, is a nice parallel to artem's constant quest to be seen as both a reliable person to mc and one that will protect her. and also just his general vibes, artem gives off the comforting vibes of a weighted blanket. world cruel, artem safe,,,,,

-

marius von hagen: the roman god of war + pasture

second is marius because ive also got not much to say jhavskfha

the surname, “Hagen” comes from the Old Norse word “hagi” or the Old Dutch “hago” with both of those meaning “pasture/enclosure” the prefix “von” just means “from” so we’ve got “from the pasture/enclosure” which is fitting, given marius’ background! he comes from a rich family, definitely a background where many would say the grass is greenest.

first name gets fun, though. “Marius” is derived either the Roman god of war “Mars” or from a Latin root word “maris” which means male. the former is way more interesting than the latter, so im going with that, HAHA.

fun thing about Mars; while he and Ares, the Greek god of war, share a lot of mythos and have a bunch of similarities, a key difference was that the concept of war Mars was connected to was a kind of conflict that focused on bringing peace. and the Roman word for peace is, you guessed it, “Pax”

peace through war is a pretty oxymoronic concept but it’s one that fits marius pretty well. hes not going to war in the literal sense, but hes very much not a character who idles and waits for things to happen. when conflict occurs, he goes out to the metaphorical battlefield and fights the fight to bring a more peaceful state to whatever’s going on. this can be said for all the nxx boys of course, theyre all fighters/defenders for peace. but it’s interesting that marius is the one who got this concept in his gosh dang name…

-

luke pearce: light and rocks and also the BIBLE, probably

okay heres where i’m gonna start going off KJBAJBKJAF

“Luke” derived from the Greek “Loukas” means “light”, “bringer of light” or “bright one.” his surname “Pearce” is of English origin, meaning "son of Piers" but over time, the spelling changed. “Piers” is also thought to have been derived from the Greek word “petra” which means “rock.”

from this alone, theres a Lot to work. luke is sunshine boy, so true, i dont even have to explain that at all, we can all See It. luke is also a rock, not in the sense that hes dumb as rocks (though that is sometimes also so true) but it’s fitting in terms of connotations of strength and determination. with the word meanings alone, it’s already very appropriate name for luke

it’s also a PRETTY BIBLICALLY CATHOLIC NAME.

if artem and marius were getting linked key figures from Greek and Roman pantheons, luke is getting linked key figures from the frigging new testament: Luke the Evangelist and Peter (from the word petra) the Apostle. sure, this is a reach, but whos to say? WHOS TO SAY? LUKE (TOTLUKE) WANTED TO FRIGGING NAME HIS FIRST BORN SON “PETER” (mentioned in SSR Peaceful Place)!!

it’s more likely that the biblical aspects are coincidences and luke’s first and last name were chosen solely for the word etymology, but even if it’s a coincidence, it’s a Super Fitting One cuz huge chunks of luke’s angst and guilt is something i have always seen as vaguely catholic in nature (tho thats probs cuz im a lapsed catholic so it’s instinctive for me to see him thru this lens lol) BUT ALSO cuz both Luke the Evangelist and Peter the Apostle were martyred

and luke pearce has a martyr complex (i.e. self-sacrifice and service to others at one’s own expense and detriment) big enough to block out the sun hvksajhfavskhjfasf

vyn richter: nothing at all but…

// general spoilers for some vyn cards and backstory ahead

this is gonna be the longest one because “Vyn”……doesnt mean anything

deadass, “Vyn” has NO POPULAR ETYMOLOGY and the only thing i found after more digging was a vague relation to the Old English word “wyn” which means “wine.” which is vaguely hilarious and so valid, for vyn to name himself after a thing he really likes. king shit moves

but thats a key thing with vyn: he named himself. or rather, he was given a birthname and then chose a different one once he left svart and started a new life in stellis (sidenote: very trans vibes of you vyn, i approve!!!). vyn’s birthname is “Vilhelm Richard Albert de Haspran”

and THATS A MOUTHFUL and a lot of names to explore. one by one, these etymologies go as:

“Vilhelm” is the Scandinavian form of “William” which is from the Germanic name “Willahelm” composed of the elements wil which means "will, desire" and helm which means "helmet, protection"

“Albert” is from the Germanic name Adalbert meaning "noble and bright"

“Richard” comes from the Germanic elements ric which means "ruler, mighty" and hard which is "brave, hardy."

“Haspran” is made up and doesnt exist anywhere except in tot but that makes sense since the prefix “de” used in aristocracy just means “of” and pertains to the royal house that person belongs to, so “de Haspran” just means “Of House Haspran”

every single one of these names in his birthname is….well, it’s a LOT EXPECTATIONS JSDHFJSDJH. it’s a Royal name with strong, powerful, and frankly high-pressure connotations. vyn left this name when he left svart, and then he picked a first name which

doesnt have a set etymology at all

his chosen name reflects the action he’d done: hes no longer a ruler with expectations he didnt ask for, hes a blank slate and hes writing a new life onto it. he no longer holds all those lofty meanings, hes free to make whatever meaning he wants to

now thats his first name. his surname, “Richter”, is his mother’s surname which he adopted (mentioned in SSR Food for Thought). also mentioned in that card is a Bunch of lore on vyn’s fam background, most notable being eirik’s (his father) failure in keeping the marriage between jill (his mother) alive. vyn’s retelling of this story has some Vibes of Resentment towards his father, so i figure taking his mother’s surname could deffo be a subtle “fuck u” to eirik

but also “Richter” has a great etymology. it comes from the Middle High German word “rihtære” which means “judge”

so here vyn is with his name thats both a blank slate for a new identity and also a symbol of the role he’ll take in the nxx team. hes nobody but who he makes himself to be: the presider of judgement, the arbitrator, the Adjudicator.

accidents in the backseat cause children (?)

jailworthy take, i know, but i don't think artem was planned

i'm just saying: kim and bryan are 53 and 54 respectively (you can see these in the big data lab, or the wiki, depending on your server), by the first anniversary. according to the maths they had him at 23 and 24, exactly rosa's age at the start of the game. artem was probably still studying for a master's during that age, and rosa is a junior lawyer. in short— his parents were still building their careers. they were no professor and chief justice, they were just lawyers fresh out of law school, probably even still completing their masters.

nobody usually has raising a child in mind while still building their careers, so it could possibly be a shotgun marriage or an accidental pregnancy (in the case that they got married right after university). which i'm guessing is possibly the reason why they weren't very involved in artem's life while growing up. they were building their reputations for the sake of their son, which ended up kind of making their relationship awkward because artem kinda had to raise himself instead of them.

To Stop Tucker, Fox News Rallies Lawyers

Fox: Carlson Breached Contract With Twitter Show

By Solange Reyner    |   Wednesday, 07 June 2023 07:03 PM EDT

Fox News said former host Tucker Carlson breached his contract Tuesday when he released the first episode of his new show on Twitter, reported Axios.

"This evening we were made aware of Mr. Tucker Carlson's appearance on Twitter in a video that lasted over 10 minutes," Fox News general counsel Bernard Gugar said in a letter to Carlson's lawyers.  

"Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, Mr. Carlson's 'services shall be completely exclusive to Fox,'" it continued, quoting Carlson's contract.

Gugar also said Carlson was "prohibited from rendering services of any type whatsoever, whether 'over the internet via streaming or similar distribution, or other digital distribution whether now known or hereafter devised.'"

Carlson's legal team told Axios that any legal action by Fox would violate his First Amendment rights.

"Fox defends its very existence on freedom of speech grounds. Now they want to take Tucker Carlson's right to speak freely away from him because he took to social media to share his thoughts on current events," said Carlson's lawyer, Bryan Freedman.

Carlson's new show, "Tucker on Twitter," garnered about 80 million views by 2 p.m. Wednesday.

The former Fox News host, in a roughly 10-minute video posted Tuesday and captioned "Ep. 1," claimed that Ukraine was to blame for the destruction of a massive dam in Russian-occupied territory that caused widespread flooding.

The onetime top-rated talk show host on U.S. cable television said he hoped Twitter would be the "short-wave radio under the blankets" with "no gatekeepers."

Fox News Media and Carlson, then its top-rated host, "agreed to part ways" in late April, less than a week after parent company Fox Corp. settled a defamation lawsuit for $787.5 million.

Most Beloved AEW Tournament Round 1 Statistics Dump

Accident and Fortuity

Bryan Kneef x Reader. Rating: NSFW/18+ for kissing, smut (male & female oral, fingerbanging; p in v penetration), talk about birth control in varying forms; salty sailor language.

AN: For Wet Hot Summer Bingo hosted by @melk917 @lannister-slings-and-arrows & @pascalispretty [camping square]

AN2: S/O to @beccabarba for all of your help

WC: 4.1K

Looking back, you should have paid more attention to the campground pamphlet. Or the deeply discounted single room ticket. At the time it seemed like a too good to be true kind of deal - a weeklong yoga retreat in the tropics. Hindsight after all, is twenty twenty. It wasn’t until you arrived at the campsite that you realized you were at a couples intimacy retreat.

You had hoped that this vacation would be exactly what you needed to release some much needed stress. Instead you were eating a granola bar, semi-hiding behind a large tree, watching everyone gather around the bonfire.

While signing in, you spoke with one of the group leaders who kindly (and maybe pitifully) explained that while there would be focus on tantra, the retreat emphasized connection with yourself or with others. You hoped the latter was true and the week wouldn’t be as mortifying as you built in your head.

There was the sound of footsteps behind you. You turned around and locked eyes with a pair of intense green eyes, which belonged to an obscenely handsome man. He was slightly taller than you with dark, but greying hair and a neatly trimmed beard that matched. He had broad shoulders and the T-shirt he wore clung to his upper body, showing off a thick, solid physique. The v-neck of his shirt hinted at a broad chest dusted with hair. His shorts were fitted and shorter than what other men around were wearing. His lips curved upwards in a smile before speaking.

“You know Kind bars are just glorified candy bars, right?”

You shrugged. “This is all I’ve got, you’re not taking this from me.”

The man laughed and then extended his hand. “Bryan Kneef.”

You smiled back and took his hand, introducing yourself. You jutted your head towards the bonfire. “Aren’t you going to go join the group?”

Bryan snorted. “Can’t join the group if I’m all by myself.”

“No kidding, so am I.”

Bryan nodded. “Girlfriend was supposed to meet me here and well, she ended it over text while I was already halfway here.”

You let out a low whistle. “Sorry, that sucks. So why are you staying?”

Bryan shrugged and looked you over. You were attractive to him. Your hair, your eyes, full lips, the curve of your waist, thick thighs and broad hips. The cropped tee, leggings and high pony-tail look that you were sporting made you look like you were coming off an 80s fitness video. Still, he’d bang you. You lacked the shiny tautness of someone who frequented aestheticians and he found that refreshing. Your lips were lush and he wondered if they were as soft as they appeared.

“I already have the time off. I paid too much for this trip anyway. What’s your deal?”

You let out an exasperated sigh. “I didn’t realize it was a sex retreat when I signed up. I was just looking for a week of yoga and disconnecting from social media.”

Bryan let out an obnoxious laugh, which garnered the attention of some people in the circle. The main leader, Kamran walked over. “Please, make way to the circle.”

You and Bryan eyed each other warily and you let out a chuckle when he rolled his eyes. It appeared that everyone was coupled-up, sharing about their relationships and why they were at the retreat. The first day’s activity included journaling what goals you were hoping to achieve at the retreat followed by trust falls. The group gathered in a line and you were in front of Bryan. You turned to him.

“Don’t drop me.”

“I won’t drop you.”

“I’ll sue you if you do.”

Bryan laughed. “You realize I am a lawyer, right?”

You let out a laugh, not responding. It was now your turn. You stood in front of Bryan with your arms crossed and closed your eyes. You took a deep breath and just as you were about to go, Bryan interrupted your thoughts.

“You’re holding up the line sweetheart, just fall already.” His deep voice was dark and the timbre rolled over you warmly.

You swallowed hard, and then whipped your head to glare at him. His green eyes met yours, the gaze intense. Childishly, you stuck your tongue out. Bryan cocked his brow, as if to say ‘oh really’ and he smirked. You felt the impact of that gaze in the heat and wetness that gathered between your thighs.

Bryan would be remiss if he didn’t enjoy this interaction - granted he didn’t know you well, but as a lawyer, his job is to read people for who they truly are. You had a spark about you, something that made you seem playful, quick, but with a bratty, teasing side. All the other people he had been with who did unspeakable things at unspeakable hours all had the same personality that could be found in a fruit fly.

Bryan caught you, his big hands on the back of your rib cage. His firm grasp on you sent a bolt of pleasure throughout your body. As he brought you back to standing, you felt your cheeks warm. He lowered his mouth to your ear, letting out a quiet growl. “I wouldn’t dream of purposely hurting you sweetheart.” Your panties flooded again in response. Bryan rubbed a small circle on your back, enjoying how soft your skin was. He imagined how soft your skin was in other places.

By the time evening fell, you and Bryan were hitting it off as the third wheels. The last thought you had as you settled into sleep that night was how maybe the week won’t be as terrible as you thought. Sleep was futile on the shitty mattress and lack of air conditioning. Your back felt achy and you were sweating. Every once in a while you had to smack a mosquito off of you.

The next morning, you made your way outside after getting ready. The water pressure had been terrible so you still felt unclean. Someone had made coffee for the group and there were packets of oatmeal and fruit. You spotted Bryan sitting, having coffee. After getting some coffee of your own and a banana, you walked over to Bryan.

“Mind if I join?”

Bryan raked his eyes over you, taking in your exhausted appearance with dark circles under your eyes. “Not at all.”

You sat down and peeled your banana “How’d you sleep?”

Bryan grunted and you nodded. “I get it, same here.”

“I wonder what they’ll have us do today,” you continued. “Did your girl-ex I mean, give you any details about what to expect?”

Bryan shook his head. “She blathered about it but to be honest, I wasn’t listening.”

“No wonder she broke up with you,” you quipped before smacking your hand over your mouth. You felt your cheeks burn. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean for it to come off that way. I —“

Bryan smirked and held up a hand. “It’s fine, you’re not entirely wrong. My line of work doesn’t really allow for relationships. But yeah, I have no idea what’s in store for us.”

The day focused on a group discussion on the ‘roadblocks to orgasm’ which encouraged everyone to to dig deep into their past; pinpointing their difficulties in letting go. Thankfully no one called on you for answers. Bryan made sure to share his sexual prowess. You thought about how his hands felt on you as he regaled everyone. And just when you didn’t you could handle anymore insider knowledge, he had the audacity to wink at you.

The mortifying group time evolved into meditation and you were grateful for the quiet.

You had your eyes closed but the quiet didn’t last. Bryan was leaning over to you. “This is the saddest circle I've seen.”

“All right, everyone, let the sound of the bowls wash over you,” Kamran announced. “Let it cleanse you from head to toe and everywhere in-between.”

“These bowls got their work cut out for them,” Bryan continued to which you snorted in response. “I rather smoke a bowl.”

“Everyone, close your eyes and quiet the mind, and receive the healing vibrations. Let the sound bathe you. When you feel called to join the bowls, begin with a soft hum.”

“How are we gonna get out of this?” Bryan whispered.

“I'm not going anywhere,” you replied as you tried to focus your mind.

“Oh come on, you really going to stick this out?”

“What are we gonna do? We're in the middle of nowhere. Besides, you said you already spent the money. And I did too.”

Bryan grunted. “I’ve had enough anusara savasana vinyasa downward facing dog mumbo jumbo that’ll last me a lifetime. I am going to use the shitty reception we have and find another place. There has to be something better close by.”

“Well some of us are going to take the higher road.”

When you were roused by the sound of quiet knocking on your door, it was well into the next morning. It was still dark and you slowly shuffled to the door. You let out a yawn as you opened the door, finding Bryan fully dressed with his suitcase.

“What’s going on? Are you leaving?” You croaked. You frowned at the sound of your voice and tried to clear it.

Bryan nodded. “There’s a resort not too far, 5 star, all inclusive. Come with me.”

You were tempted by the idea of possible air conditioning. “I don’t know,” you replied, worrying your lower lip. “How are we getting out of here?”

“Gee whiz, why don’t you get into my invisible car?”

“Ha.” You thought it over - the idea of going off on an adventure with a hot stranger was titillating. The rest of the week without said person’s company would be awful. “How am I sure you’re not going to murder me?”

“I am not. I am an asshole but not a murderer. If I was going to murder someone, I’d hire someone. I’m not getting my hands dirty.”

Bryan saw the look of horror on your face and he was quick to reassure you. “I’m kidding, I’m joking.”

“Don’t quit your day job.” You replied dryly. After a beat, you continued. “Why can’t we leave in the morning? I need time to get my stuff together.”

Bryan shrugged. “Fine, in the morning. I’ll arrange for a cab.”

And in less than twelve hours, you were poolside basking in the sun, drink in hand. “Isn’t this much better?” Bryan asked. You agreed wholeheartedly.

Bryan was next to you, arms behind his head, resting his eyes. Thanks to a boutique inside the resort, you were now sporting a swimsuit. Bryan took notice of your attire and he had to will himself to not get an erection. And with his eyes closed he could ignore how the material barely covered you, highlighting your assets.

A member of the resort staff approached. “Mr. Kneef?”

Bryan opened his eyes. “Yes?”

“There is an issue we need to speak with you at the front desk.”

Bryan groaned as he stood. You used your hand to shield your eyes from the bright sun as you watched him walk away. His sinuous back muscles flexed and rippled and you had to clench your thighs together, desperate need growing. You wanted Bryan badly and figured a little hookup would be perfect. The attraction seemed mutual as you figured why else would he invite you along.

You closed your eyes, enjoying the sound of the outdoors. A shadow came over you and you opened your eyes to see Bryan standing over you.

“There’s a small issue with the room.”

“What is it?” You sat up straighter in the lounge chair.

“There’s only one room sweetheart. Computer glitch. They’re a bit overbooked.”

You felt your cheeks warm and you knew it wasn’t the sun. He called you sweetheart again and there was only one room.

“We’ll make do with it just fine,” you replied. “Unless you have a problem sharing a bed with me.”

“Not at all,” Bryan replied. “You’re sure you’re okay with it?”

You nodded. You were growing warm and tingly. “Um, I am going to go take a dip. Care to join?”

Bryan shook his head. “I’m going to order another drink and lay back in the sun.”

You nodded once more and made your way into the pool. You did a few laps as Bryan watched you through his sunglasses. When you eventually climbed out, Bryan laser focused on your tits, your nipples hard and pert due to the cold water. He wanted to take them in his mouth.

You both had dinner at the hotel restaurant.

Dinner was going well, with drinks flowing a bit too easily. The two of you cracked jokes about the retreat and wondered if an orgy had ensued yet. The atmosphere was rife with sexual tension and flirty banter. You both kept waiting for the other to crack.

That night, Bryan had said he would sleep on the floor but you insisted he sleep in the bed - it was king sized with plenty of space.

When you came out, Bryan was already in bed. He was on top of the sheets, furiously tapping away on his phone.

“Even on vacation work calls,” he replied to you, without looking up.

“Well you don’t get to be a partner at a law firm without having to do some work,” you replied. You climbed into bed, noting that logically there was plenty of space between you, but somehow it felt as if you were right next to him.

“Yeah but as a partner, I get to unload a lot on those beneath me. I have strict rules about not being bothered when out of the office.”

The thought of him unloading while you were beneath him flashed through your mind. You ached to touch him, to feel the warmth of his body, to have his cock stretch you. You imagined how it would feel like, to sleep in his bed each night, with his arms around you, his lips on yours.

You had enough.

You needed to get laid.

“So Bryan, we’ve been at the hip since the retreat.”

“Uh huh.”

You paced the room, continuing your questioning. “And then you invite me to take off with you.”

Another ‘uh huh.’

You walked over to Bryan’s side of the bed, where he was still tapping on his phone. Bryan looked up at you in your sweatshorts and tank top. Your skin was flush. “What does a gal have to do to get fucked by you?” you inquired as you plucked his phone from his hand.

“Hey! My pho—wait, did you just say?” Bryan’s bright green eyes darkened with lust. He pulled you into him, so you were now on top of him.

“You are right. An orgasm never hurt anybody.”

You blinked at his comment. And then you let desire take over. You sat up and yanked your top off before ducking your head down to kiss him. He returned your kiss, moving at a fervent pace, as if he was trying to get as much of you in him as he could.

Bryan rolled you onto your back. He covered his body with yours and used his hand to grasp your jaw, angling your face up to kiss you deeper. His tongue delved into your mouth and rolled against yours. Bryan broke the kiss reluctantly and sat back on his haunches so he could remove his tee.

“Do you have protection?”

Bryan nodded. “Never go home without. What about you?”

“I have an IUD,” you remarked as you lift your hips to remove your shorts and underwear. Bryan’s eyes lowered, taking your naked form in. He lowered his own bottoms off, revealing his very thick, very veiny, very hard and weeping cock. He spat on his hand and gave himself a stroke. Pearly fluid collected at the head of his cock. He used his thumb to swipe it and pump himself again.

“See what you do to me sweetheart?”

He lowered himself over you again and brought his mouth to your ear. His fingers descended onto your throat, squeezing lightly.

“You’re gorgeous,” he replied huskily. “Makes me want to ruin that pussy.”

You let out a whine at his comment. Bryan didn’t waste any time teasing, just pushes your ample thighs open, pressing a finger to your weeping slit. You cried out, grinding against his finger as he marveled at how wet you are already.

He removed his finger and gingerly traced your folds before rubbing your clit. “Such a needy pussy. Gonna be so easy to stuff my cock inside.”

You closed your eyes, your chest beginning to rise and drop in an unsteady fashion as pleasure courses you. Bryan inserted another thick finger inside and resumed thrusting his fingers. Your slick covered his hand, dripping. Your hands gripped the sheets. “Fuck,” you draw the word out into two syllables.

It’s when his tongue hit your clit, that your back arched. Bryan pushed his face all the way in, licking a broad stripe up your cunt. He is methodical, starting off slowly and softly, teasing you with his fingers and tongue. He then increased his pace as he ate you out, making sure to devour every inch of you. His beard scraped against you, causing a delicious burn along your sensitive skin. One hand shifts to grab your ass, bringing you closer to his mouth. He kept his lips wrapped around your clit as his fingers continued to work your cunt, the pace faster and faster.

Bryan pulled back for a moment. “Come for me sweetheart. Make a mess for me.”

So you did what any good girl would do in your situation — you grabbed a handful of his hair and begged him to ruin you.

He crooked his fingers, finding that tiny spongy spot that no one else was able to find. A few strokes in a come hither motion and you’re done for, crying out his name as you come hard. There was a rush of wetness that burst out of you but it didn't make Bryan stop. He continues to eat you out, sucking and slurping your juices through your orgasm. He finally does pull away, but not before nipping your thigh. You look at him, all dazed. His face is a mess of your arousal, his beard and mouth coated.

Your legs are wobbly but you managed to get onto your knees. “Damn, you’re good.” You wrapped your arms and kissed him, tasting and smelling yourself on him. Bryan embraced you tightly, returning the kiss. His hands landed on your ass and he gave a good squeeze.

Your hands reached into his beard and tugged as you opened your mouth to allow him to deepen the kiss. Bryan tilted your head so he could kiss and lick your neck. You let out a swear when his teeth graze your skin sharply. Your tone quickly changes into a sigh as his tongue ran over the sore spot, soothing it. Bryan beamed at the purple mark quickly forming.

“I want to suck your cock,” you whined. A rumble emanated from Bryan and you could have sworn the sound alone made you even more wet.

Bryan flopped onto his back, his cock landing with a smack against his stomach. His cock was in his hand and he used his other hand to beckon you. You laid on your stomach and shooed the hand holding his cock away. You gripped his cock and opened your mouth, ready and willing to take his cock deeply. Bryan let out a groan as you swallow him. His hand runs through your hair in a caressing manner as you begin to bob along his length. You breathed through your nose as you took him deeper, all the way to the back of your throat. Bryan groaned again and his hand in your hair tightens. “Gonna fuck your throat,” he grunted.

You let off his cock with a gasp. “Yes, fuck my throat. Use me.” You swallow him back down and you fight the urge to recoil and gag as he pressed your head down even tighter. Your nose was buried in his (neatly trimmed) pubic hair. His long, thick cock filled your throat. He thrusted into your mouth, the pace fast, abusing your throat. He momentarily mourns the fact that you don’t have makeup on because he would have loved to see the dark tear streaks on your cheeks.

Bryan’s hips continued pumping upwards into your mouth and you took it, delighting in how it felt. You just hoped he didn’t plan to come down your throat because you sure as shit, wanted him to fuck you. You noted that his thigh muscles twitched and his hands got rougher as they pulled your hair. You were let down because it didn’t seem like you were going to get fucked. To your surprise, Bryan pulled your hair, forcing your head back, popping your mouth off his cock.

“Next time I’ll shoot my load down your throat sweetheart but I really want to fuck that tight pussy of yours.”

You were sweaty, your hair sticking to your face. Your lips were wet and swollen. “How do you want me?”

Bryan slapped his thigh. “Saddle up.”

You nodded and climbed over him, straddling his big thick thighs. “I’m going to give you the ride of your life.”

Bryan leaned over slightly and grabbed the condom you didn’t realize he had readily at hand. He ripped the foil and rolled the condom on. Even with your arousal, you still felt the burn of his cock as your cunt struggled to take him in all the way. You sighed shakily, letting yourself adjust to his girth, as Bryan groaned at how tight your pussy was. He barely fit and he hadn't even moved yet. He was so deep. “Fuck, I think you’re splitting me apart,” you moaned. Bryan smirked, he felt like a fucking king.

“You sure you can take me sweetheart?”

You let out another whine as you sunk further on his cock. You leaned forward, gripping his beefy pecs. Your breasts dangled in front of him and he leaned up to take one in his mouth, sucking and licking. His teeth grazed your nipple and you cried out.

Once he completely bottomed out and you were adjusted, you began to roll your hips forward. Bryan’s hands rested on your hips, digging deeply, sure to leave bruises. He matched your pace at first, his hips snapping upwards.

You met him on the downward as he continued to pump his hips upwards. Pleasure exploded inside you as his cock dragged against your special spot with every deep stroke. Bryan watched as his cock pistoned in and out of you. “Sweetheart I wish you could see how your pretty little pussy is taking every fucking of my cock. It’s like my cock was made just for you.”

There were spots inside of your cunt you didn't know existed until Bryan. The scent of sex was thick in the air, along with the sounds the two of you are making. The headboard rattled against the wall and you did not even give a shit if someone complained. Bryan is murdering your pussy and you will happily let the world know.

Bryan slapped your ass twice in succession. “That’s what you get for sticking your tongue at me.”

Your mind drifted to the memory. You slowed your pace intentionally. “I’d do it again. Can’t stop me.”

That earned another two spanks.

Bryan growled, taking the opportunity to grip your hips and fucking you with more gusto. His pace is sloppy and shorter, frenzied almost. You snake a hand down and rub your clit, chasing your high. Bryan felt the walls of your pussy flutter around his cock.

“Be a good girl and let me feel you cum on my cock.” It was Bryan’s turn to beg. “Be my good girl and give it to me.”

You obliged at his words and you let your orgasm wash over you. The sight of your head thrown back, your face wrecked, broken sobs falling from your lips - it was too much for Bryan. He let out out his own deep groan along with a chant of fuck fuck fuck as he stilled, shooting his thick load inside of you, filling the condom.

You slumped forward and the two of you lazily make out for a few minutes. Eventually you dismounted Bryan and he got up to toss the condom. Your body is indeed wrecked and you find your eyes closing in post orgasmic bliss. The last thing you note before you drift off is Bryan climbing back in the bed. “Best vacation ever,” you mumbled as you turned into him.

When you wake up the following morning, Bryan is outside on the balcony. He is leaning against the railing, gazing at the horizon, coffee in hand. You wrapped the sheet around you. You noticed two covered serving dishes had been brought up to the rom alongside a carafe of coffee and orange juice. You pad along to join him on the balcony. Bryan turned to you and smiled.

“Morning sweetheart.”

FIN.

ohhh would love to hear the actors that came to mind with that “they got that dog in them” post

so, like, this is in terms of their performance and it asked specifically about if it caught me off guard.

bill hader -- did not know bill hader could do this.

i had never seen sarah goldberg in anything before barry but

same with julia garner, when i saw her as ruth on ozark i was like oh ok ok, i see you.

dominqiue fishback

i was contemplating if i was going to put zendaya on this especially because outside of euphoria, which i've spoken about, her areas for improvement are clearer, and even in certain parts of season 2, which only makes sense because you can always improve, but i'm going to put her on because she and the soundtrack is what got me through both seasons and i had the same reaction in season one that i did with julia

bryan cranston

there was someone else but i forgot. if it's going to be a character, it's going to be something like chen zhen in fist of legend

which i don't think really counts.
