warnings: just a lot of teasing & dirty thoughts

notes: i was practically rubbing my hands together with evil intentions when i saw this request but i’ll spare the graphic details for another time, otherwise this will be extremely long!! also i wrote them separately here BUT i wouldn’t be opposed if someone requested them to be grouped together instead... anyway, i hope you enjoy this!! >:)

THE WIDELY FEARED PRIMO GEOVISHAP was certainly a sight to behold from above. You quickly understood why so many people often avoided interacting with this beast – it was intimidating even while it slept soundly, its loud snores echoing throughout the cavern despite being so far down. As you stood on the platform above its sleeping form, you studied its details, noticing the element it possessed and strategizing your combat plan quickly, thankful that you could manipulate an element that targetted its weakness. Once you made up your mind, you let out a huff as you took a leap of faith down, letting your glider save you at the last second before you could actually make contact with the ground.

 Your companion followed behind swiftly, the two of you moving gently around the walls of the cavern, careful not to wake the beast from its slumber. In a low whisper, you began to describe your strategy to your partner, but alas, the beast suddenly awoke and interrupted your planning with a ear splitting roar.

 Without a second thought, the two of you dashed to the creature, loosely following the details of the plan you had based on what you were able to say before you got interrupted. The battle was fine at first, but you soon realized how out of sync the two of you became as the fight progressed. Your elemental reactions were getting poorly timed, and it was difficult to keep an eye on each other’s movements with the beast constantly thrashing about and blocking communication.

 In normal circumstances, the two of you excelled in combat together without needing any other support. Maybe it was bad luck, or maybe you bit off more than you could chew this time, but you noticed you were getting knocked around easier than usual. Things were obviously not going your way and you had to think of a solution fast.

 But before you knew it, your distraction with your own thoughts got the best of you. One single swipe of the geovishap’s tail sent you flying across the cavern towards the opposite wall then tumbling on the ragged, rocky edges of floor, certainly leaving cuts and bruises for later. To make matters worse, one more aggressive roar from the beast shook the walls of cavern enough to send chunks of rock tumbling down towards your injured body. Unable to form coherent thoughts, you knew you didn’t have the strength to escape the avalanche. Instead, all you could do was lay there, helpless and bracing for impact, praying to the Archons that you can be saved.

zhongli

 Zhongli made quick work of the beast, using his shield to deliver an extremely effective counter attack and finishing it once and for all. The creature wailed in pain in its dying moments before disintegrating into dust. He expected to see your face on the other side but alas, you were nowhere to be seen.

 “[Y/N]?” his face tensed as he tried to think of where you could have disappeared to. As his eyes darted around the cavern, he immediately noticed a tiny speck of color amongst the rocks on the wall that resembled your clothing. He quickly sprinted towards you, lifting some of the boulders off of you effortlessly using his geo manipulation.

 He began to subconsciously slow down once he saw the way you were displayed in front of him. Your legs were propped up slightly from the rocks underneath you that caved in from the impact. The way your hips curved up caused your skirt to fold back onto you, leaving you completely exposed under his gaze.

 Ungodly thoughts began to race across Zhongli’s mind. He couldn’t help but slowly undress you in his mind, thinking about all the things he could do to you in this moment of vulnerability.

You poor thing... If only we were not in such a potential dire circumstance of life or death, what would stop me from keeping these rocks on top of you, grabbing those hips, and pressing myself against you? It would be the perfect opportunity to keep you still while I have my way with you... Perhaps I should check to see if you’re okay first, and maybe I can trap you with these rocks myself instead. Certainly I could even lift you in a better position for a better fit...

“Stay with me, [Y/N],” Zhongli snapped out of his fantasy and continued to lift the boulders off of you, wondering if he should really go through with his urges. “You will be okay...”

childe

 Childe had noticed you fly across the cavern in the corner of his eye, and watching you land on the floor at such a fierce impact only fueled him to keep fighting. In a fit of a rage and frustration, he summoned his dual blades and quickly turned the tides of the battle towards his favor. He didn’t even need to watch the beast die to know it was dead within seconds, and after his final blow he quickly dashed towards where you landed only to find out you had been crushed by more rocks.

 He let out another yell of frustration, grabbing the boulders one by one and pushing them off of you. “[Y/N]? Can you hear me?”

 “I’m fine, just get these off of me!” you managed to call out from underneath the pile. Relieved that you were alive and well, he managed to push most of the boulders off but hesitated once he got a good look at the way you were laid out in front of him.

 With your legs dangling off the edge of the pile, your ass was comedically exposed towards him, the rest of your upper half still trapped within the remains of the avalanche. Funnily enough, the hem of your skirt had even got trapped above your hips that you were completely exposed, causing Childe to grin evilly.

 “Well, well, well,” he slowly walked over to you and placed a gloved hand on your bare cheek, still slightly out of breath from the heavy lifting. He gave a gentle squeeze, eliciting a gasp from you. “Is this my reward for helping you? If so, I’ll gladly take it now...”

 “Did you forget that I’m stuck? What if I’m badly injured?!”

 “In that case, I’m sure I can make all the pain go away and replace it with pleasure instead,” he gave one final squeeze and chuckled before walking away to grab another boulder. “I’m kidding, I’m kidding... But once you’re out, don’t expect all this help to come for free, you know.”

diluc

 Diluc watched you tumble across the floor with panicked eyes, immediately worrying about your safety but not letting that distract him from the task at hand. In the heat of the moment under the influence of rage and anxiety, he summoned his pyro manipulation to set his claymore ablaze and deliver multiple final blows to the creature, smashing its figure into bits. The beast cried in its final moments and when he was sure it was dead, he dropped his sword as he sprinted towards you.

 Pure panic settled in once he saw you had been crushed underneath the pile of rocks. He pushed himself to run faster, feeling tears form in the corners of his eyes but ignoring it. He didn’t want to lose you – not this easily.

 “[Y/N]!” he called out once he reached the site, “Can you hear me?”

 “I’m here, Diluc. I’m fine,” you reassured him. He deeply sighed in relief as he began to push the boulders off of you. Thank Barbatos you were alive and well! He shook the thought of you being fatally injured away from the forefront of his mind to focus on getting you out of this mess, using his strength to his advantage. But after a few rocks were pushed off of you, his eyes widened at the sight of you, a sight he will never forget.

 While your legs and upper body were still trapped underneath the pile, the first thing Diluc revealed was your ass, exposed by your skirt that was coincidentally trapped above your hips. Your thighs were pinned together, rubbing gently as you squirmed in the rubbish, trying to wiggle your way out. Or at least, he wanted to believe you were wiggling for the sole purpose of getting out, and not to tease him.

 With a nervous gulp, he averted his eyes away from you and resumed his work on the boulders. His mind couldn’t help but drift away into sinful corners, though. He envisioned the way he could firmly grab your thighs, pull down your underwear and...

 “Don’t scare me like that again,” he took a more lighthearted tone to cover up his urges, “I thought you were surely dead.”

kaeya

 After briefly witnessing you get thrown across the cavern, Kaeya managed to finally stab the beast in such a precise weakness point, making it wail in pain until it slowly withered away in its dying moments. He took no time at all to rush over to you, sprinting faster once he saw that you had been crushed by an avalanche.

 “[Y/N], talk to me,” he subtly asked for reassurance that you were still alive as he began to analyze the situation and pinpoint exactly where you were in all this rubbish.

 “I’m okay,” you weakly muttered with a grin, glad that he had come to your rescue, “Just a little bruised, that’s all.”

 Following the trail of your voice, he put his mind to work. He started to strategically push certain rocks so that others would naturally fall off of you without him needing to lift too much. After awhile, he began to spot one of your arms, then your other arm, and with each rock tumbling down he soon revealed the full picture.

 Or at least, a fraction of the full picture.

 He was relieved to see that you had wrapped your arms around your head for protection before the crash, avoiding what would have been an extremely dangerous injury. With your entire body from the chest down still trapped, you felt the need to stretch out your arms in the newly freed space and take a deep breath, glad to finally have some fresh air. “Good morning,” you joked on your bed of rocks.

 Even though he certainly felt some relief, he couldn’t fight the urge to tease you as he cooed over the sight of you so helpless underneath him. With an evil smirk, he pulled out one of the rocks that was supporting your neck, leaving your head hanging off the edge and eliciting a gasp from you. Before you could protest, he propped himself up against the wall with one arm, his body hovering over you and his crotch just inches away from your face.

 “Look at that pretty mouth of yours... You tempt me even in the most dire situations, sweetheart,” he let his free hand run slender fingers across your scalp, slowly massaging you. “Now that I think about it, I do deserve a prize for saving you, don’t I?”

 “Quit running your mouth and just help me get out of here,” you scolded him jokingly. He laughed and shook his head dismissively as he walked away to get back to work, fighting that strong urge to use your throat in such a vulnerable state.

 “If you say so, sweetheart. Maybe some other time.”

For me it's not that the only way I'd trust the system is if he won.... I would trust the system if there wasn't obviously schiesty ass political moves being made in order to keep the party moderate and fairly pro-corporation becuase they know their funding would tank if a candidate that was anti-corporation anti-war etc. was their nominee. It's disheartening to know that like... our opinions don't really matter in all of this because the shit is predetermined for political reasons

no, and i get that completely. the fundamental issues with our political election system won’t be changed overnight. as much as the notion seems absolutely ridiculous and likely contributes a hefty amount to why things can’t practically change, money is extremely, extremely important. and, unfortunately, i don’t see that changing any time soon. the issues here have multiple factors:

the dnc is under no obligation to invest in bernie. he only runs as a democrat to hopefully garner enough support to win the presidential election to the best of his ability under our current “two party” structure. is there anything wrong with that? hell no, this is a game that everyone is playing and he knows that this move works to his advantage in terms of the general population. does that mean that the dnc has to respect him since he’s running as a democrat? also hell no. he’s listed as a dem for the sole purpose of winning this election. if i knew someone was aligning themselves with me only to give themselves a best shot at winning something, i’d be pissed, too.  if he is going to alienate the years of financial support that bolsters the party with his choices, that just doesn’t seem like a wise choise, does it? not when funding is (unfortunately) as important as it is. people can argue ‘til they’re blue in the face over whether or not it’s a smart or selfish idea, but acknowleding the fact that financial support has quite a bit of weight doesn’t change the truth of its importance. he is an inherently risky candidate, so to call the prior candidates choice to endorse what they consider to be a more viable, less risky option corrupt or underhanded isn’t exactly taking the whole situation into consideration (and i know you didn’t say this specifically). changing votes or altering results would be absolutely unfair and deserves due criticism and outrage, but choosing to strategize against the political equivalent of a trojan horse? eh. he doesn’t like the dem establishment, they don’t like him. why should either have to compromise?

this also brings up the fact that there’s little stopping bernie from running as an independent, if he sees himself as a strong enough candidate to win the election. this is something that personally irks me and has been highlighted by his behavior thus far-- if you don’t like option A or option B, yet you feel like you are the best possible person to be the president of this country, what’s stopping you from presenting yourself as an entirely separate option C? history shows that this isn’t a practical idea and would likely hurt the dems more than the republicans, but again, if bernie doesn’t consider himself a democrat and yet still believes that he can will a majority of the electoral votes, it should be a non-issue. don’t make it obvious that you’re aligning yourself with A out of pure necessity, then create infighting within A, and then cry corruption when the other members of A make a decision to coalesce behind another candidate. it’s juvenile, imo. 

the only way something like this could be genuinely, truly pre-determined is if we knew from day 1 that bernie wasn’t going to win. the stats suggested otherwise. bernie himself making a bid suggested otherwise. the prominent dems or the ~establishment~ choosing to endorse a differing candidate doesn’t detract from the fact that he’s had over a year to generate the support of the democratic voters. buttigieg endorsing biden didn’t automatically guarantee biden all of his supporters. bernie had a year to assure that if he wasn’t a voter’s first choice, he was the second, or if not the second, then the third-- and so on. this isn’t to say that endorsements aren’t an important factor, but if bernie truly resonated with these voters enough then the numbers would currently show that. 

if i had felt that i had done all of the research necessary to declare my support of one candidate above all else, no amount of endorsing could make me change my mind. however, me choosing to support who i think is best doesn’t tend to be the only factor to consider once voting approaches. people start to factor in whether or not they think their choice could win the general election (and prior data suggested bernie could, so effectively i find this a moot point regarding how many votes he ultimately gets). people who are stuck between a rock and a hard place, but understand that the lesser of the two evils truly lies within the general election, may switch their vote. again, the data didn’t really show that bernie stood 0 chance against trump. in fact, most if it suggested the opposite. so then why, if he was previously a clear front runner and data suggested that he would fair well in the general election, would the race suddenly be this close between biden and bernie? it’s not corruption. it’s not a conspiracy. complacency disguised the fact that this race is a lot closer than his supporters assumed. 

in short, if bernie himself and his supporters find him and only him to be the best candidate out there capable of winning the presidential election, then he should have entered this election without needing the support of democratic party.

I love Phoebe/Cole!! I know Tumblr thinks they're toxic and get why, but 1. a lot of Cole's awfulness wasn't actually his fault and 2. For fictional purposes, I adore them anyway! They have complementary differences - she's cheerful, optimistic, impulsive, exuberant while he's snarky, practical, determined, strategic. But they have key similarities too - they're both intensely passionate, brave, determined to live life to the fullest.

I completely agree. To be honest, it upsets me just how much hate Phoebe and Cole get, because I don’t think they’re as bad as people make them out to be. Yes, they had a toxic relationship; yes, it ended horribly and yes, it had a negative impact on both Phoebe and Cole at certain points, but isn’t that exactly how a lot of love turns out? Not all love is healthy and good and pure, but that doesn’t mean it’s any less valid or worthy. 

Personally, a large part of the reason why I love Phoebe and Cole is because they’re such a realistic representation of what love can be (minus the supernatural elements, obviously). They loved each other so much, wanted to spend the rest of their lives together and as you pointed out, were actually incredibly well-suited, but they just weren’t meant to be. Circumstance pushed them apart and made it impossible for them to stay together, and that’s really sad. I’ve always said it and I will say it again, but if Charmed had been set in a non-magical universe, Phoebe and Cole would’ve been together for the rest of their lives. The only thing that pushed them apart was magic and when you push that aside their relationship was actually incredibly loving and good for both of them. At the beginning of season 4 there was nothing wrong with their relationship. They were both happy, they were great at communicating their anxieties and emotions to one another and they were both working on their own personal issues together - Phoebe on her fear of commitment and Cole on living with magic and moving forward from his dark past. 

Of all Phoebe’s boyfriend’s, I still believe that no one complimented her the way Cole did (with the exception being Drake or Jason). Cole evoked passion and life in Phoebe unlike any of her other love’s did and I think regardless of how much she loved any of her future partners that spark was always missing. Phoebe, is a character that was established from the beginning as being incredibly attracted to the dark side. In comparison to the other sisters, she was the one that was portrayed as having more of an ‘evil’ side to her and it actually became one of her greatest fears in season 5 (Sympathy for the Demon). Cole represented that darkness for her and I do think that’s part of where her attraction for him stemmed from. Even before knowing he was a demon, she still knew there was something dark and mysterious about him and that’s what drew her to him. I think without her realising, she didn’t necessarily want someone that was completely good, she wanted someone that was complex and whose natural impulses weren’t always good. She liked the challenge of that and I think she loved Cole all the more for being a man that was strong enough and brave enough to fight against his demonic side and evil magic for himself, her and their love (at least until he was possessed by the Source). Basically, I think Cole provided her with everything she wanted and needed, but there was the huge disadvantage that he was a demon that was constantly entangled in dark magic (despite the fact that he fought to escape it). 

I think the fact that Cole is still widely considered to be Phoebe’s one true love by a lot of fans (even those that don’t like them or ship them) says a lot about that relationship. There had to be something good about it for Phoebe to love him so fiercely and commit to him on the level that she did. Like Piper said in Muse To My Ears, Phoebe was the care-free, fun-loving sister that was terrified of commitment and maturity, and basically wanted to be an eternal child. So for her to give that up, push through her fears and actually say yes to Cole’s proposal and go through with the marriage is a real homage to her love for him. I think there’s a tendency for fans to focus on all the bad things Cole brought to Phoebe’s life and in doing that they overlook the good things. At the beginning of season 4, Cole really was Phoebe’s rock. She dealt with Prue’s death in a very different way than Piper did and whilst Piper isolated herself, Phoebe leaned on Cole more than she ever had. She told him she needed him at the funeral and throughout those early episodes of the season Cole is the one that’s present and there with her as she deals with losing Prue and finding Paige. Cole was someone Phoebe could really open up to and despite her free-spirited nature and confidence, I think she actually felt incredibly judged and insecure a lot of the time. She knew Prue judged her for being irresponsible and she compared herself to Piper who she saw as being the perfect sister, and I think she never felt good enough or that she had anyone she could relate to. She felt like a black sheep. But because Cole was ‘bad’ (I hate using that word, but there’s really no better word I can use), she never felt judged by him or afraid to share what she deemed to be the worst parts of herself with him. She felt fully accepted by Cole and when you compare the way she was with Cole to how she was with Jason, there’s a huge difference. She seemed to have that same apprehension with Jason that she did with Prue, whereby she worried that she wasn’t enough for him or he wasn’t the way he wanted her to be. Him pushing her with her career was a classic example of that. I think people take for-granted the power of having someone like that, who you can completely be yourself with. It’s rare to find (and I think Cole was one of the only people Phoebe had that with) and it makes you a stronger, happier person.

I strongly believe that if Phoebe had been open to working on her relationship with Cole in season 5, they could’ve reconciled and been happy together again. At that point there was clearly still a lot of love between them and it wasn’t that volatile. Phoebe had her guard up because of the trauma of what had happened when he was the Source, but with time I think they could’ve found a way to heal and get through that together. In fact, I think the way Phoebe handled the situation in season 5 actually ended up hurting her even more, even though everything she did was in an attempt to protect herself. As for your comment about a lot of Cole’s actions not being his fault, I completely agree. I discussed this subject (about Cole’s story in season 4 and 5 and his relationship with Phoebe) very in-depth in a previous post which you can read here. 

Sorry, this ended up being a lot longer than I initially planned, but hopefully you enjoyed reading it.

random, kinda ridiculous spec for episodes 5.07 and 5.08

Ok, I have this random spec in my mind and I just have to get it out there.  I don’t think this is where the show is going, and honestly, I’m not a big fan of it going there buuuut….there’s a piece of it that rings true. Also, there’s a good amount of Echo talk and reference to Becho, so if you’re allergic to even seeing it mentioned in text, then that’s cool, but move on. 

In the next episode, we know Echo is going to be tested when her mission conflicts with Raven. I think we’re going to see Echo very conflicted on what to do, and honestly, I think we might actually see her go against Raven to complete her mission. She’s trying to prevent war, she’s trying to protect Bellamy and the rest of Spacekru at the bunker. If she does it, it isn’t because she’s evil. It’s her doing what she thinks she needs to protect as many of the people she loves as possible. (This is kind of irrelevant to my spec, but I want it noted that I am vilifying Echo and the position she may be put in). That being said, in the end Echo is going to choose her friendship with Raven, her loyalty to Spacekru, over her mission for Octavia. She’s more than just a tool, a spy, a weapon of death and war, she’s found family, and more importantly, she’s found a deeper purpose within herself. So, either she doesn’t fulfill her first mission step or she does something later to make it up to Raven that ultimately places her (Echo) against Octavia, causing O to re-ignite the banishment/death order.

Now, I  think there is a strong possibility that Octavia sent along a second spy to Eden, unbeknown to Bellamy, Clarke, or Spacekru. She doesn’t trust Echo, and from a strategic pov, it would absolutely make sense to send a contingency plan in case Echo fails.

I also think there is going to be a time jump somewhere in the next couple of episodes (basing this on the bts pic of Echo, Memori, and Raven laying in snow, and a Tasya interview where she mentions sitting in snow, considering her life choices). So there is also the possibility if Echo decides to not deactivate the Eye or something, that in enough time, O just assumes she has failed.

Meanwhile in the bunker: I think there will be, at some point, Octavia confronting Bellamy, telling him that clearly Echo hasn’t changed much since she’s betrayed her again, or something like that, making it clear that if Echo and Wonkru cross paths again, Octavia will not be as compromising regarding Echo’s life.

Bellamy, being Bellamy whom loves so deeply and so truly but is trying to be a man of consideration and peace, will barter for Echo’s safety, finally making it clear he is going to leave Polis to go to Echo.

Octavia doesn’t want this. As much as Blodreina views Bellamy as a threat to her command, Octavia still loves and cares about him. She doesn’t want him walking into, what she likely views as certain death. She wants him safe, near her, but she also wants him under her thumb. So, I think she might try a different tactic.

And this is where this spec really goes off the rails into wackiness. I think Octavia knows about Clarke’s phone calls. I think she knows Clarke is in love with Bellamy. I think *that* is the secret she (threatened) promised to keep secret at the end of 5.06. I think when Madi came to offer herself for training, Octavia likely asked her about the stories Clarke told her about the 101. Madi, excited to be talking to her hero would have told her O was her favorite, but Bellamy was Clarke’s favorite. Octavia would be interested in knowing more, so she pushed with an “Oh?” and Madi, being 12, would just spill the beans on the stories and the drawings and the phone calls. This gives Octavia an extra layer of leverage over both Clarke and her brother.

Octavia isn’t stupid. Everyone knew Bellamy was in love Clarke, except Clarke herself. If Bellamy is threatening to leave, maybe she could give him a reason to stay willingly. She tells him everything, but before we get any reaction beyond a pure moment of shock (big wet brown eyes, face frozen, a little “wha-?” escaping his lips), someone rushes into the room to tell them they’ve caught another defector, Clarke has been caught trying to sneak Madi out.

Octavia, so done with this shit, immediately orders her to fight in the pit.

Bellamy reacts how one would expect him to react. There will be yelling, crying, begging.  O reminds him that you are Wonkru or you are the enemy of Wonkru. She then throws  out an impossible choice to him, one life or the other (with an emphatic "Choooose” moment). All he has to do is make a choice. One lives, one dies.

Now, as ridiculous as this seems, it feels inline with Octavia adopting the “Love is Weakness” motto. His love for others is a weakness, Clarke’s love for Madi and secret love for him have given her exactly the leverage she needs over these threats.

Bellamy would never choose. The Bellamy we know and love would rather die than sentence someone he loved to death. Obviously, Octavia would never honor that. He knows he could go fight in that pit and die for Clarke, but O would just kill her anyway. So, instead, he makes a different choice— He chooses to become part of Wonkru. She lets both of them live and he will follow her.

This works for O, it keeps her brother by her side and under her thumb, and it gets Clarke, another threat, out of Eden. It works for Bellamy’s goal because it keeps both women safe and away from Octavia and he knows that she won’t kill them because she now has leverage over him.

The episode ends with Bellamy being inducted? perhaps being fed a ceremonial cannibal cookie by Gaia?

Or it ends with Clarke arriving in Eden and seeing Echo across the field. It’s time to save damsel in distress Bellamy.

Again, I know that this is all very unlikely, and I really, really don’t like the idea of the show directly positioning Echo and Clarke against each other, BUT, just because I don’t like it, doesn’t mean it’s not the exact type of thing Octavia would do. It would also parallel the way that Diyoza is using relationships and connections as pressure points in her camp too.

Prompt : Peeta walks in on Effie in her underwear. Kinda like a son walks in on mom getting dressed moment. By the way I love you

This is crack pure and simple and I apologize for it [X]

Surprise!

Effie stood in front of the full length mirrorscrewed on the wall of Haymitch’s compartment’s, the familiar and almostcomforting hum of the train engine was a welcomed soundtrack. As long as thetrain was moving, they didn’t have to face whatever was happening in theDistricts. She was sick and tired of this Tour. It was supposed to be her greatmoment of glory but she couldn’t wait for the whole thing to end.

As it was, she and Haymitch had been going tobed at impossible hours since the whole thing had started because they had totalk about strategies, review speeches or go over schedules that kept evolving.She was sick and tired of being too exhausted to plainly take advantage ofhaving a man nearby she might or might not have been in an exclusiverelationship with.

Hence, theevil plan.

She gave herself another once over and decidedit would do more than fine. She was wearing a crimson see-through negligee,that he would simply love, andmatching panties with holes in strategic places. Her blond natural curls weretousled in a wild way that made her cringe but that would please him and shehad kept the make-up to a bare minimum that made her look good but thatwouldn’t put him off. She had accentuated the lips though, the dark redlipstick she had used was perfect. She looked absolutely vulgar, completely slutty,and she didn’t give it two minutes before he would be on her.

Now, for the rest…

She looked around the room, frowning a littleat the mess he always left everywhere, and eventually settled on the bedbecause it was the most logical option. She pushed the sheets and covers to thefoot of the bed and climbed on, trying out a few different seductive poses,before settling on her side, with one hand supporting her head, one leg bent sohe would have a very good view of the slit in her panties – and what it wasn’tcovering – on his way in. The horny pout wasn’t a difficult one to force on herlips.

And she waited, hoping he wouldn’t be too long, although she had givenspecific instructions to the train attendant to give him her note ten minutesearlier. Taking into account the fact that he would grumble at least five goodminutes at being bossed around by her, he should have been there soon.

And, sure enough, she heard footsteps comingcloser and stopping in front of his compartment. It was hard to keep her faceset into a casual lustful pout instead of beaming like she really wanted to do– because she knew he would love thisand she liked to know he was still attracted to her and unable to resist hercharm even though they had been doing this for years.

The knock was odd but she barely had time tofrown before the door was pushed open.

There was a second of absolute stillness onboth part.

Then two matching cries of horror.

Peeta was all wide eyes and he immediatelyturned around, his face a deep red that could have rivaled her lipstick. “Oh,god, I’m so sorry. I’m sorry, Effie! I’m so sorry!”

She scrambled to cover herself with the blankets,so embarrassed she didn’t even have any reassuring words to offer. Her outfithid nothing, she wasn’t wearing a wigor make-up and… That was beyond embarrassing.So, naturally, she grew angry.

“Really!” she scoffed. “I thought you had moremanners than that, Peeta! Couldn’t you wait to be granted entrance beforecoming in. Knocking isn’t enough! Truly!”

“It’s Haymitch’sroom!” he protested. “You think he… Oh mygod, it’s Haymitch’s room!” The boy sounded both shocked and horrified anda thousand things in between. “What… You… I’m going to be sick.”

The last part was muttered but she heard it allthe same.

“Leave the theatrics to Katniss, would you.”she chided him, wrapping the covers around her neck so well that she wasnothing but a heap of blankets with a head. “You can turn around now.”

He didn’t.

“Don’t take this the wrong way but I never wantto look at you ever again.” Peetawinced. “You… Oh, god.”

“Well, thank you.” she huffed. “I know I am alot older than you but I like to think I am not that horrible to look at.”

“You’re not,that’s the thing.” Peeta snapped. “What do you wear that sort of stuff for?!I’m traumatized.”

“You shouldn’t have come in!” she argued.

“How was I supposed to know you would be herehalf naked and… I don’t want to think about this anymore.” he whined. “You’relike a mom. This… This is…”

And to complete the awkward moment, that wasthe moment Haymitch chose to appear in front of Peeta. His grey eyes dartedfrom the boy to Effie and back and he frowned. “What the fuck is going on, here?”

“Don’t use that word.” Peeta begged, still redas a tomato, before fleeing their presence.

Haymitch watched him go, obviously puzzled, andthen came in, firmly closing the door behind him. Effie groaned and floppeddown on her back, bringing the blankets over her head and keeping them thereeven when she felt powerful hands trying to tug them away.

“Care to explain?” Haymitch asked, giving up onattempting to get her out from under the covers.

“I wanted to surprise you.” she pouted – forreal this time.

It probably came out muffled but he snorted allthe same. “And?”

“And Peeta opened the door and he saw…” Hersentence trailed off and she groaned again, now not only feeling embarrassedbut guilty. She was responsible forthose children. They weren’t supposed to know what she liked to do behindclosed doors. And as if it wasn’t enough that the boy had to see her in herunderwear, he had to see her with that setof lingerie. “It is all your fault.” shedecided.

She didn’t need to see to know he was rollinghis eyes.

“Sure is.” he humored her. A finger poked herin the side and she wriggled under her nest of blanket, trying to escape hisattack. “You’re naked under there?”

“Worse.” she admitted. Naked wouldn’t have beenas bad. Naked wasn’t kinky see-through lingerie with a hole that could onlyhave one purpose. Naked wasn’t slutty.Naked didn’t imply dirty sex was about to occur. She could also have been nakedand not… exposed. No… That was the worst that could havehappened.

She was never walking out of that compartmentand she was never coming out from under her heap of blankets. She would remainthere for the rest of her life.

She was certainly never facing Peeta again.

“Worse than naked?” he insisted and shecouldn’t help but detect the touch of interest in his voice.

“I was waiting for you.” she snapped. “I wasputting on a show. He… He saw everything.”

She was expecting a lot of different reactionsbut not laughter. She hit him as well as she could from under her blankets buthe didn’t stop.

“Come on…” he chuckled. “First time the kidsees a naked woman and it’s you? Now you don’t have to worry about himand Katniss sleeping together ever again…”

She pursed her lips in annoyance. “Thank you. Iam glad to know you find me repulsive.”

“I don’t. Hedoes.” he countered, still chuckling. “He looks up to you. Fuck, sweetheart, it’s like me walking in on a naked Mags orsomething…” He stopped laughing at once and groaned. “Now, I’m never thinkingabout that ever again.”

“I am not naked.And I wasn’t just…” she mumbled. “Iwas waiting for you.”

There was a pause and then he tried to tug theblankets off again. She held on fast to them. She wasn’t facing anyone rightthen.

“Were you touching yourself?” he asked.

“No!” she protested immediately, irritationslipping in her voice. “Of course not!”

“Then it ain’t as bad as it could have been,right?” he pointed out.

She considered that for a moment but it didn’tbring her much comfort. “I suppose.”

“Come on, let me see.” he coaxed. “You gottacome out from under there at some point, Princess.”

She sighed but poked her head out from underthe blankets. He was sitting on the bed next to her and he still looked far tooamused. She deeply resented the smirk on his lips.

“I just wanted to surprise you.” she lamented.“I am never doing anything nice foryou.”

He grabbed the blankets and she let him pushthem back to the foot of the bed. He took in what she was wearing and lickedhis lips, his eyes darkening with sudden lust.

“It’s not thatbad.” he commented, trailing his hand up her stomach and to her breast to teasean already erected nipple. “Sure, it’s see-through but…”

“Haymitch.” she cut him off tersely. She spreadher legs because showing him would be easier than explaining. She promptly tried to close them again but he grabbedher knee, his gaze riveted on her panties, his breath catching in his throat.

“Kinky.”His voice was barely louder than a growl.

“Take your mind out of the gutter.” she hissed.“Nothing is happening now. The night is spoiled.”And she was disappointed because she had been looking forward to spending some quality time with him. She could have used blowing some steam out of hersystem. “If you had seen his face…”

“Saw his face from the corridor.” he snorted,pressing a kiss against the inside of her knee.

“Haymitch.” she warned.

“Stop thinking about it.” he grumbled.“Accidents happen. It’s fine. He’s gonna forget. Will only take ten years orso.”

“You are being very calm about this.” shedeclared, wriggling a little because his mouth was running on her inner thighand she had a very good idea of where it was headed. “You are usually a lotmore possessive.”

“I’m not.” he scoffed because god forbids heactually admitted he didn’t like other men looking at her or lusting after her.“But the kid isn’t going to jerk off thinking about you anyway. He’s probablyoff somewhere trying to forget right now, so… Ain’t going to worry about it.”His nose nuzzled the red lace of her panties, blowing his hot breath on partsof her that were so sensitive she arched her neck a little. “I like thesurprise.”

It was a quiet admission.

And it made her smile.

Quarantine Anime Binge Reviews! Part 2

Aw yeah guess who is still spending her time binging anime instead of doing anything actually productive it’s me well anyway here we go

All of WIXOSS: This is one I’ve been kind of intrigued by for a while, because it’s a card game anime, but all the main characters and their cards are like, cute girls, which is not typical for the genre, and it’s written by Mari Okada, whomst we stan, so I figured it was worth a shot and it turns out to be sort of like what if Yu-Gi-Oh! was also Madoka, but also way better than that sounds. If that sounds even remotely interesting, I’d say it’s worth your time. For the record, the order is selector infected WIXOSS, selector spread WIXOSS, selector destructed WIXOSS (a movie that is just enough recap that people who watched the show will be kinda bored for those parts but not quite recap enough that you can watch it without having seen the show without being confused, but also with just enough new footage that I can’t recommend skipping it), (okay also there’s a manga, selector infected WIXOSS -peeping analyze- that goes into a side character’s whole deal and it won’t be relevant until later but I recommend reading it at this point), Lostorage incited WIXOSS, and Lostorage conflated WIXOSS, with another series scheduled for later this year, though if that’s still happening is obviously uncertain AND I’m extremely curious as to how exactly another season will even WORK because conflated ends p definitively and happily and pls Okada-sensei just let my children live ;_;

Youjo Senki/Young Girl’s War Chronicles/Saga of Tanya the Evil Movie: aw yeah that’s the good shit. Could also be titled “Tanya Learns the Hard Way that Russia’s Greatest Strategic Advantages are That It’s Cold AF and That They Have a Seemingly Limitless Supply of Cannon Fodder”. If you haven’t already watched Youjo Senki, I actually highly recommend it: an isekai about a sociopathic salaryman trapped in the body of an adorable little girl fighting for the not Germans in magic WW1 to spite the God that did this to her. It is a fantastic show and if that description was not enough to convince you then just know that one of the major new characters in this film is literally a girl named Mary Sue (first name Mary last name Sue) and yes she is named that on purpose, it’s the best. The movie is a great continuation and ends with what I hope is leading into a season 2 (or at least another movie) eventually.

Märchen Mädchen: Hoo boy this is one of the greatest anime tragedies of the last few years. So, like, six years ago or some shit, this guy came up with this idea for a LN called Märchen Mädchen, but unfortunately he didn’t get to write it because like four years ago he fucking died, but luckily he’d started this company and he’d left notes so people working for that company wrote some books of it based on his notes in his honor and shit, and it was planned to be kind of a multimedia thing, and get an anime and shit, but well... a lot of things happened... and the results are just depressing. It seems the failure of the anime may have led to the novels being cut short, which is a damn shame, because while none of the series is super great, none of it is super TERRIBLE either (save for the animation quality as documented in the post linked above). The characters are fine and likable enough, the story is a bit by the numbers but it’s executed well enough, and there’s a lot of interesting ideas under the surface and some good themes. This could’ve gone a different way, I can see an alternate universe where the anime is good and this shit gets like, a gacha game and shit, and more books, and we get to learn more about all these background characters who barely speak let alone do anything, and the world and how it works, and I wish I lived in that world. As is, watching the Blu-Ray version isn’t the biggest waste of your time or anything, but ultimately you’ll likely still end up sighing, left with the bitter taste of what could’ve been.

Oushitsu Kyoushi Heine/Royal Tutor Heine (and its movie): This one’s fun! A fairly light comedy about a short genius man who is constantly mistaken for a child despite being a fully grown adult trying to tutor four pure of heart dumb of ass princes of 19th-century Not-Austria: Prince This Is Just My Face, Prince All Books No Brains, Prince No Thoughts Head Empty, and Prince Horny Bastard Man. To tell if this is a series for you, please watch the live action version of the ending theme where the seiyuu all dress up like their characters and dance around, and if this appeals to you, watch the show. Also the long haired one is played by Shouta Aoi, whomst we stan, god bless.

Shuumatsu no Izetta/Izetta of the End/Izetta: The Last Witch/Izetta, Die Letzte Hexe: Very good, the world’s last witch vows to use her power to protect Lichtenstein Eylstadt from the Nazis Germanians in AU WW2 for her princess GF. This show adapts BUNBUN’s character designs to animation better than anything else I’ve seen and has a banger OP. If you’re a fan of say, Youjo Senki/Saga of Tanya the Evil and enjoy the tactical magical World War aspect, you’ll probably enjoy this, and if you’ve seen Symphogear you’ll spend it with Finé in the back of your mind at all times for reasons that will be very clear very quickly if you watch.

Well this post is long enough so see you next time y’all

OMG . . . Judge Ellis took ArtMofo's advice . . .

Hey peeps, We're officially living in the alternate universe, where: Cold is hot, Wet is dry, Good is evil, and . . . Federal judges pay homage to the thoughts and feelings of Arthur Mofodopoulis, while sentencing a $30 million tax cheat and bank fraudster who built a career representing -- and rehabilitating the images of -- some of the most cruel and inhumane motherfuckers on Earth. "Blameless life" my ass! There's no need any longer for strong drink, or mind-bending drugs such as LSD, psilocybin or DMT. It cannot get any weirder. God help us all. --Art ----- Forwarded Message ----- From: Arthur Mofodopoulis Sent: Friday, March 1, 2019, 9:06:51 PM EST Subject: ArtMofo's sentencing memo in the Manafort case (Eastern District of Virginia) By snail mail ------------------------- The Honorable T.S. Ellis III U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia Albert V. Bryan Federal Courthouse 401 Courthouse Square Alexandria, VA 22314 February 19, 2019 Dear Judge Ellis, I'm writing about the upcoming sentencing of Paul Manafort, the former chairman of President Trump's 2016 presidential campaign. As a patriotic American with a keen interest in justice and fairness, I urge you to hand down the lightest sentence possible. That's because Mr. Manafort has worked his entire adult life to make the United States of America and planet Earth a better place. I do not personally know the defendant, although I've learned a few things about his upbringing over the years, and I've followed his career with a mixture of admiration and amazement. He's a devout Roman Catholic who was raised in Connecticut and attended a Catholic high school and Georgetown University. There, he also earned a law degree. He's a faithful husband who's been married to the same woman for 41 years and together they raised two daughters who are sturdy citizens and productive members of society. Until last year, Mr. Manafort had never been convicted of any criminal offense. During his career, Mr. Manafort remained far out of the limelight as he selflessly assisted many respected world leaders. Among them are President Ronald Reagan (who appointed you); U.S. Senator Robert Dole, a World War II hero and Republican presidential candidate; Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos, a beloved humanitarian; and two of Africa's greatest modern-day statesmen: Angolan freedom fighter Jonas Savimbi, and President Mobutu Sese Seko of Zaire. Mr. Manafort also worked closely with Viktor Yanukovych in Ukraine. Unfortunately, the popularly elected President Yanukovych was undemocratically overthrown in a coup orchestrated by a European-Union cabal composed of socialists, globalists and rootless cosmopolitans like George Soros. Against that enviable record, Judge Ellis, let us consider the crimes for which Mr. Manafort was convicted in your court: Tax fraud, bank fraud and failing to disclose a foreign bank account. On any broad scale of evildoing, such violations are laughably harmless. It's not difficult to wonder if they should even be crimes at all. Who hasn't occasionally made one or more simple bookkeeping errors while filling out tax forms, or misplaced some faith in an accountant whom they trusted? And who hasn't fudged a fact here or there on a loan application for the purpose of bettering chances of a bank's approval? The third charge is the most outrageous of all, because it's tantamount to a "memory" crime. In no way is it illegal for an American citizen to hold a bank account in a foreign country, and Mr. Manafort had many of those. During a globe-trotting career that was full of distractions, he apparently forgot to disclose a single account. Big deal! When failing to remember something becomes a federal crime, Judge Ellis, we're all in a heap of trouble. The jury verdicts in Mr. Manafort's trial obviously reflected notions outlined above. As you know, jurors found him innocent of more than half the offenses the government charged. There's a decent argument the guilty verdicts they did return resulted from some sort of untoward backroom "compromise." It's quite possible jurors felt they had to find Mr. Manafort guilty of something, lest they incur the government's wrath and wind up under investigation themselves. Or perhaps jurors' baser emotions got the better of them as they listened to irrelevant and highly prejudicial testimony about Mr. Manafort's purchase of a $15,000 ostrich-skin jacket, and his other spending on clothes, landscaping and real estate. With that evidence, the prosecutors repulsively waged class warfare against Mr. Manafort right there in your courtroom. In America, it shouldn't be a crime to get rich! Whatever the reason for those misguided convictions, the government's request that you impose a prison sentence of between 19 and 24 years is both unfathomable  and unconscionable. Judge Ellis, you yourself correctly called the government's bluff during Mr. Manafort's trial. From the bench, you basically noted the entire indictment against Mr. Manafort was tendered in bad faith. You said prosecutors brought those charges for no reason other than to pressure Mr. Manafort into "flipping" against President Trump, and becoming a government witness in the ongoing witch hunt led by Robert Mueller and his 13 Hillary Clinton-supporting assistants. In that respect, the Manafort trial was purely an act of political retribution. We both know Mr. Manafort was tried only because of the successful work he did leading President Trump's election campaign. In addition to all his other accomplishments (cited above), that was Mr. Manafort's greatest career triumph. President Trump's amazing victory has fundamentally improved America. Among other things, it eviscerated a collective shame that darkened our country during the Obama Administration's eight years. Obama rigged the American justice system in a stealthy campaign that allowed him to escape responsibility for any number of criminal scandals. One was Solyndra, through which friends of Obama sucked billions of Energy Department subsides out of the U.S. Treasury and into their pockets. Another was Uranium One, under which Obama and Hillary Clinton gave away the United States' complete stores of that strategic metal to Russia in exchange for a contribution to the Clinton Foundation. Yet a third was Fast and Furious -- in that one, Obama literally armed Mexican drug cartels with military-grade weapons from the United States, which created the southern border crisis President Trump is now trying to fix. Surely you haven't forgotten the Obama Internal Revenue Service's campaign against grassroots conservative organizations, and how Obama shut down legitimate inquiry as to whether he's a natural-born citizen (which could have disqualified him from the White House). And what about the four American heroes who lost their lives in Benghazi? To date, nobody has paid any price for that because of an obscene cover-up engineered by Hillary Clinton that thwarted the best efforts of Congressional investigators. Any other president would have been impeached and later prosecuted for such crimes. Instead, Obama is walking around happy, free and a lot wealthier than he was when he entered the White House. Meanwhile, President Trump is suffering through a politically motivated investigation, precisely because he's worked tirelessly to drain the Obama swamp and eliminate the disgraceful "Deep State." That dishonest investigation, along a treasonous coup plotted by some Obama leftovers in the Justice Department, are President Trump's "reward" for his great efforts. I have learned all of the above by carefully watching and analyzing the Sean Hannity show on Fox News for the past two years. I didn't take that stuff at face value, though. I thoroughly researched it -- and all of Hannity's information totally checks out. Top-notch investigative journalists such as John Solomon, Sara Carter and Gregg Jarrett have validated every bit of it. Which brings us to the bottom line: Mr. Manafort's prosecution -- for Fake Crimes -- is little more than an extension of corrupt and traitorous attempts to get rid of President Trump and halt his valiant efforts to Make America Great Again. Judge Ellis, my simple request is that you take all of the above into account for Mr. Manafort's upcoming sentencing hearing. If you cannot find it in your head and heart to throw out every one of those unfair and malicious convictions, the least you could do is sentence Mr. Manafort to "time served" and release him. Then, after the November 2020 election, President Trump can pardon Mr. Manafort and finally give him the justice he richly deserves. Obama, Hillary and Mueller are the people who truly ought to be before you at that sentencing hearing, rather than an upstanding citizen like Mr. Manafort, who at the worst may have cut a few inconsequential corners while trying to bring justice to America and peace to the world. Thank you for reading this heartfelt letter. Sincerely, Arthur Mofodopoulis 4807 Penn Wyne Dr. Greensboro, NC 27401
