Trying not to be annoyed at the people commenting on my mass effect wishlist about how they like the boob windows actually, because I get it’s a kind of jokey response to a kind of jokey post. I get wanting a bit of fanservice on occassion, or wanting to have optional sexy outfits or characters who dress in a sexy way if it suits their personality and/or the occassion (such as a character dressing up for a party).
But please tell me you didn’t somehow play the entire trilogy without noticing the massive disparity between male and female character design. I am not being jokey anymore, it’s genuinely gross how the games were seemingly so at a loss about what to do with a woman who can’t be sexualized that they simply refused to feature them at all, and all you can say is 'but I like the boob windows'!!
Okay yeah I'm annoyed.

This is a mini series I made for enjoyment I don't know how frequent updates will be but enjoy anyhow
Each Chapter will center on a different character
I don't own Melody Seashell she belongs to @melodyseashell22 or twisted wonderland and it's characters they belong to Disney and Yana Toboso
I own Celine Perrine,Bonniebelle "Bonnie" Hattleaxe and Nicole "Nikki" Iriscope as I made them
Characters: Melody Seashell, Celine Perrine, Nikki Iriscope,Bonnie Hattleaxe
this chapter centers around Celine Perrine
Chapter 3;Multitasking
A fickle mutual favor, that's how Celine remembers herself agreeing to Nikkis idea.
Yes she understood she needed the funds for her experiments and designs to continue but she knew Nikkis scheme had to involve far more than just a few games with money bet upon the table.
Celine had known Nikki for at least a year longer than Melody so there was no way a few dice rolls and cards would be all that could get them their dreams.
Unfortunately with those games came cheaters and liars that Celine couldn't stand. This included the people Bonnie brought to her now unwarranted anger plastered on their faces
"So these guys are the ones who thought we wouldn't notice?" Celine inquired
"Oh yes they tried to cheat Melody at the last poker game " Bonnie said keeping a grin on her face that Celine knew meant she was eager to dish out punishment
"So gentlemen care to tell me your reason for what you did ?" Celine asked the boys clearly irritated with them
"It was just easy money not much else" the ringleader said
"Uh huh and you didn't see the policy on your way in?" Celine raised a brow as Bonnie tapped a sign that read no cheating or you're out
"Oh please people cheat at shit like this all the time" the second one pointed out before Celine stood up "Yes but unlike those places there's actual consequences here and j don't appreciate you trying to cheat my friend out of her money but seeing as I'm willing to give second chances,I think I can overlook this incident if you do something for me" Celine said a smile slowly coming to her face
At this the boys seemed concerned "and uh what's that exactly?" The leader asked
"Test my game, you play for the money you owe, win and I'll forgive your little debt sound good?"
The males seemed to ponder her words before they nodded
"Sure Perrine we'll play your dumb little game but what is it"
"You'll find out, Bonnie the keys please " Bonnie grabbed a set of keys before they followed Celine to a door that once unlocked showed a room that seemed normal but there was certainly more to it than what these boys were expecting
"Now here's how this is gonna go you guys are gonna split into two teams. The team that gets to the final door first wins and their debt forgotten, lose and you're gonna have to find a way to pay off what you owe" Celine spoke calmly
"You can't do that" The leader said
"Oh yes I can otherwise I think I can just call up the headmaster and we'll see what he thinks about all this huh?" The boys knew she wasn't kidding once Bonnie smiled at them with a dark look in her scarlet red eyes
"fine fine we'll do your stupid game" the third said before they split into two teams
"Good luck fellas you're gonna need it" Celine said before she and Bonnie headed away to the space Azul had given the girls to oversee everything
Celine turned on the monitor to the escape rooms before Nikki came In with Melody
"I'm guessing you're doing this for more than money and defending Melody right?" Nikki inquired
"You know me too well Nicole, yes money is nice and I would love to watch them get torn a new one but what better way to get entertainment than run a nice little social experiment to see which of these guys will actually win fairly" Celine said while looking at the monitor that showed the males looking for the keys and clues to the next room
"Huh multitasking" Melody said
"Please tell me you included something in case they cheat" Bonnie grinned before Celine held a remote
"Wanna push a button when they do to find out?" Celine asked giving it to Melody
"Kind of " she responded
The four watched the monitors until Bonnie spotted something
"We got a fake key at twelve o clock~" Bonnie said giggling manically
"Melody hit the button at the top left once he's got it in the keyhole" Celine instructed
Before long the boy had it in the keyhole qnd Melody hit the button before the boy shouted in pain dropping the key and she knew what this was
"A shock button?" Celine nodded
"I thought they might try something like that so I may or may not have installed some things to make sure everyone plays fair" she spoke calmly
"Not bad" Nikki complimented before adding "what else did you install?"
"Oh a few moving walls, some trap doors can't make it too easy for either side"
After a few rooms the first group was shouting each other
"This is your fault Joe! " the second one shouted at the leader "I thought it was an easy scam I don't see any of you coming up with ideas shaun!" Joe shouted back
Meanwhile the other two seemed to find the key "this is it, Edgar just one more room and we can forget this shit" the boy said "yeah this was a nightmare Daisuke" Edgar said before they heard a sound
"Are those walls moving ?" Shaun asked "GO GO" Joe said searching more frantically before Daisuke fitted the key In running with Edgar
In the monitor room the girls were laughing
"Okay okay we better go greet our winners " Celine said heading to the room the boys were meant to meet them in
The boys panted catching their breaths once Celine and Bonnie were there waiting
"Congratulations boys you won without cheating and used your heads, consider your debt wiped clean" Celine said pleased
Joe and Shaun then came in themselves looking terrible
"As for you two I think that the lounge could use two new sets of hands unless you want me to report you to the headmaster" Celine said showing a video of all their cheating
"Ugh fine just never put us in one of your stupid rooms again! " Joe shouted
"Oh just make sure you never cheat again and I won't have to after all cheaters never win, espically guys who try to cheat my friends and crush their dreams " Celine said looking at her nails
Bonnie smiled dragging Joe and Shaun away before Celine smiled at Daisuke and Edgar
"Hope you had fun fellas" Celine said before she headed off
Nikki watched Celine on the monitor she knew this was Celine at her best, finding a way to make things work in multiple ways and that would surely benefit them in the long run

I know that Sebastian for some reason is the most popular male character in the game now but I personally don't give a shit about him and his quest are interesting only thanks to Ominis. He's the reason I would even bother with them. A blind wizard who's descendant of slytherin that tries to cut himself from his dark legacy is more interesting from the dude that has the same story line as every "morally grey" character (family member is sick/in danger and they will do anything to save them).
It's funny you should say that, and I'm so glad to hear it. Because truly, I adore Ominis, and when I first saw him I thought he was way more compelling than Sebastian. I'm actually so glad to have this chance to talk about him, because he's great. Course, this was all before I saw Sebastian's story in full, and I like him a lot more now. But Ominis is still probably my favorite in the game. He is everything that Delphi Diggory should have been, I said what I said. The moment I learned his backstory, I was devastated for the poor guy. I want to give him a hug. Even his name is a perfect irony.
Sebastian's story is a tragedy and I think what really makes him compelling is his unhealthy (but understandable) obsession, and where it ultimately leads him. I think a lot of people were sold on him the moment he lied to the Librarian to protect The Fifth Year. It's just not the kind of loyalty one expects from a Slytherin. But when I saw how his story ended, I thought to myself...how could anyone choose to betray him at the end? And yes, I do consider it a betrayal, regardless of what he's done.
It's difficult to compare these two honestly, because Sebastian gets so much more screen time and Ominis clearly appears to be designed as a secondary character to Sebastian's story, much like Anne. In general, I also think these two are foils of each other. Sebastian's guardian is a former Auror who abhors the Dark Arts and in is generally averse to his nephew's "exploration" of more obscure magic. That makes Sebastian the total inverse of Ominis, and I think that's pretty cool. Hey, here's a thought: If my math is correct, Ominis should be in the same generation as Marvolo. Should be his brother or cousin. Does he ever mention him by name? I don't recall as much...
It's true, Sebastian's story of trying to help Anne is a story that's been told a hundred times, but particularly for this universe, I wonder if it wasn't deliberate. Perhaps meant to invoke memories of Albus and Ariana Dumbledore, or even Jacob and his Sibling. To be completely fair, I'd also point out that Ominis likewise has a story that I've seen a million times before - that of the heroic character who must live down the legacy of their villainous ancestors. Other franchises have beat this trope into the ground, but I still love it.
Ultimately, a lot of this is affected by not just the writing, but the depiction and performance. Both actors are superb and hearing Ominis' voice break with emotion during the Cruciatus Quest hurt my soul. I also love the detail that he's blind! In general, for as much as this game fails to offer any progress in terms of the wizarding world's problems (Oh Ranrok, you were so wasted...) I will say that it offers a great deal of "muggle" diversity. Multiple poc, a lesbian couple, a trans character, and a blind character too! That's not nothing.

6 and 29 for the ask game!
oh i didn't expect to recieve any questions but i'm flattered regardless! ૮( ⸝⸝´꒳`⸝⸝)ა
06. what are your favorite and least favorite skins?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
in no particular order these are my top seven favorite looks!
i think nekoette and dmitri are cute next gen designs without being a complete copy of their parents! i especially adore the white cat ears, light blue hair, and pink clothes that nekoette has, it's very pleasing to the eye.
likewise zoey got such a massive glow-up in s2 oh my goodness. i much prefer this color palette compared to the darker, saturated colors she used to have and the bright pink lips she had (only brendan and ginger laurance pulled off having lips imo). the clothes she wears are very cute too, really fits communicates that she's an elf.
rebirth aphmau my girl, my gal, my beloved!! i just think the markings are just such a great way of elevating her base design and immediately setting her apart from the other characters. equally i also really like the cocomau irene design, trading out the pale blues for a bright purple speaks to me.
i think lo's skin is a bit too pink and his new skin has his eyes way too blue, but as a general skin? prettier than the entire male cast. garroth who? laurance what? don't know them sorry.
i know the blue jacket laurance's skin is just an outfit template but oh my god does he pull it off well. my absolute favorite out of all of his clothes and you can pull that from my cold, dead hands.
AND I DON'T KNOW WHO THE PHEONIX DROP DAYS GIRL IS BUT OH MY GOD??? PRETTIEST DESIGN BY FAR??? when i stumbled across a photo of her my jaw dropped i was so shocked. girl, are you single i'm asking for a friend.
i also really like the kitty cat maid cafe butler uniforms for uhm. no reason. no reason at all!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
...i'm not doing a top seven least favorite looks. these two are such a horrific crimes against fashion that the other mid looks weep in comparison.
they just straight up yoinked brian's skin and gave him four belts in return. what is that horrid chain mail texturing. an entire team of people allowed this look to happen. shame on all of you.
and don't even get me started on laurance. look at this guy. look at what he's wearing. laurance sweetheart honey babe. there's no way cadenza let you leave the house looking like that there's no way.
29. any general unpopular opinions?
oh boy this is long.
too many people are weird about jessica having a self-insert. there's a huge difference between not liking how jess's personal feelings have been a detriment to the series and vehemently saying you hate her for daring to include herself and her interests on her own channel.
"she's such a narcissist for including herself in everything" "why does she project herself so much on aphmau?" "i can't believe she stole her name after a final fantasy character—" personally i think it's based to get a shitton of money from role-playing your overpowered mary sue. cringe culture is dead and no this does not make me a jess supporter for not whining endlessly about the smallest shit. not all criticism is valid and i'm allowed to disagree with it.
also i find it tiresome when people endlessly complain about canon, prop up their rewrite, and said rewrite is just a bunch of bullet points on a google doc. which isn't to say that you aren't allowed to critique jess, i'd be a massive hypocrite if so, but atleast she actually made something. way easier to critique a piece of fiction when it actually exists (and on the same note, most rewrites aren't my cup of tea compared to just rewatching rebirth! which isn't to say that they're bad but i haven't found one that's of the same quality or pursues the same avenues that rebirth does. which, again, not a bad thing and absolutely understandable.)
and also i think it's fucking laughable whenever people rightfully complain about the problematic shit in canon but then keep/add problematic stuff to their rewrites. if i see another "🥺 omg laurance touching his s/o face" post i'm setting myself on fire.
...also i don't like younger dante hcs after someone tried arguing that he's canonically a child to defend putting him in a grooming subplot (no the fuck he isn't). i think the idea is nice and has a lot of potential but i'm probably never going to pursue the idea myself or interact with it from now on.

Sex Should Be Fun, Not Dirty
 A few things that gross me out about porno myths
By LargoKitt. Listen to the Podcast at How To Sex.
Tumblr media
What I HATE About Porn
Right up front let me make it clear that I watch erotica, read erotica, and write erotica. Please scope out my stories or poems or even my art and I think you will be pleased. Porn is very ancient stuff. Prehistoric people were making images designed to turn them on, and I'm sure they were sitting around the campfire and telling spicy stories. Motivating people to do the deed and plant the seed has been a major push for millennia. Hindus and Greeks and lots of other folks have gods who celebrate procreation. Heck, the Bible contains the steamy Song of Solomon. And in Genesis, God never said, "Don't fuck." He said, "Be fruitful and multiply."
Don’t Make Me Feel Shitty
Point 1: BDSM. I don't think sex is dirty and I really don't much like stories or vids or auds that portray people who feel like shit for feeling horny. Guys should not have to apologize for hard-ons they get in an honest scenario. Horny is built into the machinery. But hang on, I understand that if you were brought up in a strict religious household where touching yourself or anyone else without a legal contract will cause Old Scratch himself to snatch you by the short hairs and drag you to Hell where he'll fry you till you're a crispy critter; if that's the crap that's in the back of your head when you spot a hottie and the spirit rises; well then I can see how being bad and feeling good might end up in the back of the same pickup truck.
Since religious figures, priests and preachers and missionaries and nuns, are placed artificially off-limits, I can see how getting under that dark robe might be a turn on. But a story about raping a priest or a nun who used to humiliate you in school. That's not erotica. That's a revenge horror story and I hate it being considered a turn-on. And stories about religious folks exploiting or hurting kids is never sexy. It's criminal.
I personally despise stories that feature people despising each other, especially in the bedroom. I might write a story about people playing at humiliating one another. I can imagine people, maybe a woman CEO who is always in charge and demanding of respect, enjoying a fantasy where someone calls her a 'stupid worthless slutty cock-sucking bitch'. Same with a male CEO who likes to be ridden and whipped like a stubborn mule. I can imagine those characters getting relief from constant responsibility. I can see how the sting of a little pain might lift their spirits.
But I switch off when the sex is about the pain. Oh I get how a spanking or being bound and restrained might raise the stakes of sensation. But then the pain is about the sex. And the sex plus pain is for the pleasure of the person being bound or 'punished' not for some nut who gets his or her nut by hurting other people. I understand if your kink swells when you have someone in your power. But for me sex is always a dance with equal partners even if you're playing that it's not.
So. Stories teach. And I HATE stories or videos that teach men that it's okay to treat women like shit. Also stories that teach women that the only way they can tell a man what she wants is to be a cruel slutty dom. Or little girls who need permission from 'daddy.' Or independent women just waiting to be enslaved by a cruel master who "knows just what they want."
Bottom line: whatever your kink, sex should be fun for all members of the party and their members, and fun shouldn't make you feel weird and guilty.
Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
Point 2 -- Girls just wanna have fun. I HATE porn that is all about the man getting his nut with no concern for the woman getting hers. What's up with that? Are most pornos secretly for men who are into men? Why in Baal's name do we always spend so much time looking at dude's dicks? And balls? And assholes?
Maybe a viewer who isn't built like superman likes to pretend he is the buff cut flexing shiny well-waxed, spray-tanned hunk who is drilling a hottie who is lying about what a turn-on he is. But how about, for once, having a Don Juan or Lothario who is actually a role model for how to light a lady's fire? Because if you have the basic equipment, but really know what to do with it your reputation as a cocksmith may grow, and most often it won't be about your cock.
The guy may be necessary in the video to show what turns her on. But then I want to spend lots of time seeing her get with it. I don't want a guys ass between me and the beautiful stuff any more than it has to. And for pity's sake, porn makers and porn writers, show us what is happening with her, how this lick or that deep plunge is beginning to light her up. Some of you dudes may be all about pretending you are this super-stud and this total hottie just wants to be drilled by you until your jackhammer has busted the pavement. But really, that's not as much fun as taking the time to wind her up and truly get her truly excited.
Hard truth: Jamming your dick is the LAST turn-on a woman usually wants to feel to get her off. Everything else you do: flirting with her, complimenting her, giving her a gift, feeding her, kissing her, gently touching her, rubbing her, fingering and licking, ALL are bigger turn-ons than your dick. She may want your dick, because it feels good, fills her up in a way she likes, connects in a powerful way, shows you want her and only her so damn bad, and are eager to feed her your seed. But her orgasm usually comes from the other strokes.
And for lesbian couples this literally goes double. Two loving gals are not usually eager to pretend to be hard dick-jamming men.
Lesbian Porn
Point 3 - "Lesbian" videos (or stories) are not made for women, even though most women now and again fantasize about having it on with another woman. But how often does anyone actually ask the women to write the script about how two women come to get it on? Note how many writers who identify as lesbians or bi, put at the top of the story, something like, "If you just want to get right to the sex you may be disappointed, because this story has a slow build. That is because, gentlemen, that the lead up in a lesbian story is the lust. So how about more videos in which the women take their time playing with each other? Not hours of loud smacky fake kisses and tongue tangling. No. Real attention to all the erogenous zones: the neck, the ears, lots of exploring tender skin, the talking. Seeing each face come alive. And always, take your time. After all; what's your hurry?
Butt?
Point 4: But, but, butt. Maybe there was a time when the idea and the illustration of a man having penetrative intercourse with another person's anus was a strange and exotic turn-on. Now you have to plow through the butt shots to get to any other kind of sexual activity. Enough already. Or put the butt play into a special search for those you don't lift off except when imagining back door action. Otherwise, go easy. And that means planning your camera angles so we aren't looking at someone's shitter when hot romantic sex is supposed to be happening.
Roughly Sensual?
Point 5 - Rougher and tougher is not hotter. Oh, sure, sometimes jamming, and slappling and hurling her (him) around is at the peak of turn-on. Sometimes the opposite is true. The smooth strokes can really reach her. Gentle that breast. Please that little spot on the side of her neck. Sweetly tickle that clit hood. Do spend lots of time on the breasts and nipples. Stroke and kiss and suck them a dozen ways and do it again. Let us see her face and hear her voice as this happens. Talk to her. It doesn't matter if the vid is shot in Slovenian.
All the senses say something
Point 6 - And speaking of voice, let us hear how she is feeling. I don't mean clichés like "Oh baby, you're so big." I mean those personal sounds that tell you she is beginning to feel it. Let us hear her breath slowly get more raw and excited. Encourage her to say what she needs. That last point is important, and very sexy. Not just, "Oh yeah, right there, right there," but, "Grab my tit hard please." "Squeeze my ass." "Kiss me...I need you to kiss me." And let us hear him as his excitement builds and he begins to groan and roar. For lesbian sex it would be good to really hear the couple work out what feels good. "That's good; roll a little to your left. Yeah, move up that way." "Keep rocking. Oh please don't stop rocking." "Just lick inside right there with the tip of your tongue." "Shut up and fuck me hard."
Sprayed vs filled?
Point 7 - The money shot. Time was, you had to know this was real sex, so the dude had to spill the cream at the end. Now I think that's old hat. The real money shot is seeing her get off for real. Now we know that for most women PIV sex is not the true lift off. It may be great, but it is the satisfier that says your man is happy and has really connected. Your orgasm(s) can come any time along the way and are proof that your lover is really paying attention to your needs. And here's a simple dirty secret: most guys watching and probably a lot of women are going to get off when they see her cum more than when they see him cum. And for me nothing is sexier than both partners getting off while they are deeply connected. No need to 'open out' awkwardly so we see all the messy bits. For the last lap let them find each others' rhythm and go for it.
Stay Unselfish
Coda - Make videos with people who know and respect each other. Even if the love play is rough and tumble, have your "actors" know and care about each other and show they care about each others' bodies. Give them time to get to know each other before they shoot the scene. And we have all seen "the four ways to fuck"-- now missionary, now doggie, now her on top, now on her side with him behind, pull out and jizz in her mouth. Yawn. Let them work out what gets them excited.
My Golden Rules: NEVER feature sex with children. NEVER feature enslaved, exploited, addicted, or drugged participants. NEVER treat women like they are second class citizens. NEVER have the talk or action be racist. NEVER show rough sex without the absolute consent of all participants. NEVER confuse torture for stimulation. NEVER exploit young or broke people to make a porno. There are plenty of adults willing to make sex videos for fun and/or profit.
And if you like erotic stories, videos, audios, pix then use the ones that respect people and avoid the ones that don't.
If the maker breaks those golden rules, don't watch or pay for that shit.
I KNOW I am bumping up against some people's favorite kinks, or even the whole reason they seek out porn. That's them. Maybe that's you. Okay, but the stuff I list above is what ruins it for me. I have a simple stance. Sex is good. Sex is fun. People do best when they don't feel angry, or ashamed, or guilty while doing it. You can play football to maim the other player or humiliate them. For me that ruins the game. Our bodies have wonderful built-in toys. Enjoy them.
 The 11 Best Sexual Positions for Satisfying Sex
Tons of sexual positions can bring mutual satisfaction, but do you know which ones both you and your partner can enjoy? Check out these 11 you might want to try the next time you get frisky.
By Ashley Welch
Switch up your sexual routine so you and your partner can rekindle your connection.
There are hundreds of hot sex positions for couples that bring partners’ bodies together for mutual pleasure. Knowing a variety of sex positions can help you be a better and more inventive lover for your partner.
What Are the Best Ways to Have Mutually Satisfying Sex?
That answer is different for every couple. "I would define the best position as the position that works best for the individual or individuals involved,” says Tameca Harris-Jackson, PhD, a certified sex educator, a sex therapist.
"Trying different sex positions actually offers an opportunity to bring different ways of experiencing pleasure into sexual intimacy and a sexual relationship,” Dr. Harris-Jackson says. “You can eat the same meal every day for 20 years, but it doesn’t mean you’re going to get the most joy out of it. You’re just getting the nutrients. But if you try to add a little bit of parsley to that meal, you might taste it in a different way, and it might become a more exciting meal. And that’s what having new positions in a relationship can do.”
There are nonphysical factors to consider, too. Take intimacy, for example. For many people, especially women, intimacy can lead to better sexual experiences because partners are comfortable and trusting enough to ask for what they desire and to try new things.
Many couples are figuring out exactly those benefits, according to research funded by the Kinsey Institute at the University of Indiana.
An online survey of 1,559 adults showed that while people had less frequent sex during the first weeks of the COVID-19 pandemic, they were more willing to try new things, which included sexting, sharing sexual fantasies, and experimenting with new sex positions.
Try New Sexual Positions to Spice Things Up
Stressful periods of time can make it difficult to get aroused and stay aroused, says study coauthor Justin L. Lehmiller, PhD, a research fellow at the Kinsey. “Trying something new can amp up your arousal,” he says. “Trying new things is about self-discovery — what works for your body, your relationship — and that’s going to have lifelong benefits.”
You don’t have to be a gymnast to make these moves pay off. Don’t think “crazy sex positions,” rather “new sex positions” to create more heat between the sheets.
“Not every position is for everyone, and that’s okay,” says Dr. Lehmiller. “But even if the positions described here don’t work for you (maybe you’ve already tried them), that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try new and different things. Novelty is one of the things that keeps us interested in coming back for more. When sex is the same every time, we tend to lose interest. New positions are a handy way of adding an element of novelty and newness to our sex lives.”
1: The Missionary Position or Face-to-Face
Potential Benefits or Caveats Intimate but not necessarily mutually satisfying.
Details It's a simple sex position: The woman lies on her back with her legs spread and knees bent slightly. The man lies between his woman’s legs and guides his penis or sex toy into his lover’s vagina or anus, supporting her body weight with his arms or elbows.
The problem with the missionary position is that it’s not as good at delivering pleasure to women. The pelvis of the partner on top can sometimes stimulate the clitoris in this position, and it offers great intimacy through face-to-face contact. But the angle of the penis does not allow for deep penetration or stimulation of the G-spot (felt through a location on the front wall of the vagina and believed by some experts to be a stimulus for orgasm in women). Some women also complain that this sex position doesn't provide enough clitoral stimulation to experience climax.
In a study published in August 2020 in Sexual Medicine, researchers in the Czech Republic surveyed 1,100 heterosexual people about 13 sex positions and revealed that most people still choose the missionary position even though it does not correlate with orgasm for women.
Try Female-Friendly Intercourse Positions
If the most common sex position is not offering women consistent orgasms, then one important thing to do to is “close the orgasm gap,” says Lehmiller, and try a new sex position. In other words, don't limit yourself to the missionary position.
"In most cultures, it is not the most used position," says Beverly Whipple, PhD, RN, a certified sexuality educator and professor emerita at Rutgers University in New Jersey.
If you are looking to spice up your sexual experience and enjoy better sex, try some of these female-friendly positions. Many afford partners the chance for clitoral stimulation, which is what 35.4 percent of women said they need to reach orgasm.
2: Cowgirl
Potential Sensual Benefits or Caveats Deep penetration and sensations vary; clitoral stimulation.
Details In this position, the man lies on his back while the partner being penetrated faces them and kneels, straddling his pelvis. She can then sit up or lie down on her man.
"This is a great position for a woman to control the depth of penetration," Harris-Jackson says. “It’s also a good position to get multiple forms of stimulation. With the woman’s body upright, the nipples can be engaged, which can lead to extra arousal. It is good for having access to the clitoris for stimulation.”
The riding partner can choose whether to bounce up and down, grind, or make hip circles — each delivering a slightly different sensation. “This is also a good position for a person with a penis if they have back issues because it’s almost a resting position for them,” she says.
6 Easy Ways To Spice Up Your Married Sex Life
Making things more interesting in the bedroom doesn't have to be hard. Try these simple tips to create more heat between the sheets.
3: Reverse Cowgirl or Reverse Rider on Top
Potential Sensual Benefits and Caveats Buttocks play, visual stimulations, opportunities for variations; may cause pain.
Details The man lies on his back while the woman sits astride him, facing his feet, and slips his penis into her vagina or anus. The woman can control the rhythm and pace of the thrusts. This position can be especially exciting for the man, who gets to observe the back and buttocks of his lover. Squeezing or grabbing the buttocks can enhance the experience for both. This position can be tricky to master since it requires the woman to lean back or sit up very straight to accommodate the angle of the penis. “If you’re leaning forward, it can be painful and uncomfortable for the man because it could almost feel like his penis is breaking,” says Harris-Jackson, who recommends having the man bend his knees while the woman holds her hands against her lover’s thighs or waist.
Switch It Up “This may be one of those positions that is better in theory than in practice,” says Lorrae Jo Bradbury, a sex and love coach and the founder of SluttyGirlProblems.com and LorraeJo.com. “You might want to use it as a foreplay position, grinding on his penis before you begin intercourse.”
4: Doggy Style or Rear Entry
Potential Sensual Benefits and Caveats Deep penetration and G-spot stimulation but the position can feel impersonal.
Details In this position, the woman kneels on all fours, supporting herself with her hands and knees. The man crouches and enters from behind. This is the best sex position for deep penetration of the vagina. It gives the man freedom to thrust hard and fast, and allows easy access to caress much of the woman’s body. The position also allows for good G-spot stimulation.
Switch It Up Some people complain that this sex position is too impersonal because there's no face-to-face contact. “If you want closer eye contact with this position,” says Bradbury, move your knees closer to your chest and arch your back so your partner can lean into you near your face and you can make eye contact. Bradbury says you can also try this position in front of a mirror so you can see one another’s faces.
A variation of this can be done standing; using a high bed, dining table, or even the kitchen counter; when a woman lays her chest or forearms upon the solid surface. Many women report laying in wait at the kitchen, when their man comes home. Her sticky panties are dropped to her knees. With his coat still on, she simply orders him; “Fuck Me Now! I can’t wait another minute!” He follows her instructions and sates her lusts. After his spunk fills her wanton cunt, she turns to face him, holds his spent cock, and says; “This rod needs to be ready for round two, after dinner, in the bedroom.
5: The Corkscrew
Potential Sensual Benefits or Caveats Intense, deep penetration.
Details Leaning forward, the woman lies on the edge of the bed facing inward, resting on her hip and forearm while her partner enters her from behind. The woman can keep her thighs together for a tighter hold on the penis or penetrating toy. But if the woman opens her legs, the clitoris is exposed for stroking while the man thrusts from behind. “You’re getting that deeper penetration like doggy style, but this may be an easier and more comfortable position,” says Bradbury.
Switch It Up Your partner can easily lean down to make out with you, and the clitoris is within easy reach, according to Bradbury.
6: Side by Side or Sideways
Potential Sensual Benefits or Caveats Deep eye contact and intimacy.
Details Both partners lie on their sides, facing each other. The woman lifts her top leg so the man can enter her. This position is great for morning sex when you might be a little sleepy, says Bradbury.
It offers intimacy because you are close to each other’s face. The partners can kiss and caress each other during lovemaking. The sex position is relaxing, doesn't require a lot of stamina from either person, and offers an opportunity for good clitoral stimulation.
Switch It Up Penetration can be improved if the woman drapes both legs over her man’s waist, Bradbury says. This allows great access to the clitoris, which can be stimulated with a finger or with a toy. “I think this is a great position for everyone,” she says. “It offers the comfort of cuddling, too.”
7: Flat Iron or Lazy Dog
Potential Sensual Benefits and Caveats Tightness on penetration, intense stimulation.
Details The woman lies on her stomach with her legs straight and hips slightly raised. (You can place a pillow under your hips.) The man enters from behind. When lying face down, the woman’s legs will be closer together, which creates a snugger fit for her man’s penis or sex toy. This can lead to a new, more intense sensation. “This is a really good way to increase the experience of tightness for the man,” Harris-Jackson says. “It’s also good for clitoral stimulation because the partner can reach around with his hand or a sex toy to provide dual stimulation. And it’s a good position for G-spot stimulation because you’re angling the body so that the penis is in perfect alignment to stroke against the G-spot.”
8: Face-Off
Potential Sensual Benefits and Caveats With intense eye contact and clitoral stimulation, this can be an enhanced missionary position.
Details In this position, the man sits on the edge of a bed or in a comfortable seated position while the woman climbs on his lap face-to-face. The woman wraps her legs around his waist and can control the pace of thrusting. This position also allows for direct clitoral stimulation and eye contact, which can increase intimacy.
Bonus Your hands are free so you can touch and caress your lover’s body nearly anywhere you would like. “This is a really impactful position for people who are aroused with eye contact,” says Harris-Jackson. “It’s like missionary, but you are really face-to-face. It also takes some of the work off the woman because the man can move her up and down by placing his hands on her hips.”
Switch It Up The lotus position is very similar to face-off, only the man sits crossed-legged on the bed or chair.
9: Pretzel Dip
Potential Sensual Benefits and Caveats Deep penetration with potential for G-spot stimulation.
Details The woman lies on her right side as the man straddles his lover’s right leg. The man then pulls his woman’s left leg up and around his left side and enters her vagina or anus. This position allows deep penetration while also allowing the intimacy of maintaining eye contact.
Switch it Up “You can also take your left leg and pull it toward your chest to get a deeper angle,” says Bradbury. “And you have amazing access to the clitoris for both partners.” Your hands will be free, which can allow you to run them all over each other’s body. Adds Harris-Jackson: “This position — depending on your angle — can also offer G-spot stimulation, as well.”
10: Coital Alignment Technique (CAT)
Potential Sensual Benefits and Caveats Clitoral stimulation.
Details If you want to rock rather than thrust, roll with CAT. This position is similar to missionary; the main difference is that the man pushes the base of his penis so that it lines up with her clitoris and the two make contact. Once they do, the couple rock back and forth and maintain constant contact. “It’s a little bit of a different way of having sex,” says Lehmiller. “You rock back and forth rather than thrusting. Doing so prolongs the length of intercourse for the man and increases the odds of a woman having an orgasm because she’s having that constant stimulation.”
11: Sixty-Nine (or 69)
Potential Sensual Benefits and Caveats Mutual oral stimulation.
Details This position involves both lovers performing and receiving oral sex at the same time. Typically, one partner lies on their back while the other climbs on top of them and turns around, straddling them with their genitals above their lover’s face. The person on top then leans forward and begins performing oral sex on their lover while simultaneously receiving. This position can require some coordination and balance, particularly for the partner on top. One way to make 69 a bit more comfortable for both lovers is to lie on their sides during the act.
Keep Switching It Up: Sexual Variety Is Exciting
In our day-to-day lives, we tend to be very goal-oriented, says Harris-Jackson. “We wake up in the morning and it’s go, go, go to get out the door. We go, go, go to eat our food, to go to work. It creates a lot of stress and tension in our bodies and in our minds. Many patients that I see feel that sex becomes one more thing that they have to go, go, go and do. But sexual partners should be really with one another and feel pleasure together. Switching up positions can be very helpful to rekindle that connection. So it can be helpful and fun to try something new.”

Ranking the male characters' special underwear options and how awful they each are.
We all know Choices is just incredibly lazy when it comes to making sexy outfits for male LIs and male MCs. Especially underwear and swimsuit, aren't we all tired of nothing but boxer briefs and trunks? And how their female counterparts clearly have more effort put into them? Even when it's underwear that is supposed to be "sexy underwear", PB still manages to fuck it up.
I wouldn't mind it as much if PB gave us a variety of options like It Lives Within does, or made the female versions equally unflattering... but no. In PB logic, the only parts of the male form that can be sexualized are dicks and upper body muscles (to be fair, though, I think we have to blame the entirety of male gaze and male power fantasies for this).
Tumblr media
So let's do a fun little list. We'll take all existing male MC/LI special underwear outfits (AKA the ones that are meant to be "sexier" than the average default underwear– AME MC's sexy underwear, the TRR LI's sexy underwear, OH MC's BDSM gear, Reagan's BDSM gear, Sam's sexy underwear) and rank them to see which is the worst.
This list is only for important characters like MCs and LIs where their outfits are intended for us to find sexy. I will not be including characters like Pat Ransic where we're not really meant to care about them or their underwear.
Unfortunately I will have to include pictures of each of these abominations in order to demonstrate my point, so apologies in advance for that. Additionally I will also include pictures of their female MC/LI counterparts to also demonstrate my point about how unflattering the male versions are in comparison.
Just a disclaimer that although I do genuinely despise all of these underwears, this is partly for fun and laughs. I want to be able to at least make it fun to criticize these abominations so that I suffer less.
Also keep in mind (and I should have added this when I first posted this), but I will be regularly updating this list as per any new additions of "sexy underwear" in future books.
* UPDATE 1: Added TPA MC's Underwear. Only change was a ranking adjustment, and some of the wording in the AME portion. * UPDATE 2: Added Alpha MC's Underwear. No extraneous changes from the new addition have been made.
So without further ado, here we go.
∞th Place #1 (AKA Finally some actual fucking male lingerie): Alpha MC's Underwear
Tumblr media
Whoaaaaaaa Mama! Did someone actually send PB the ILW MC designs? Because THIS is how you make sexy underwear for a guy! Man, I never thought I'd see the day when PB made actually slutty male lingerie that can be put on the same tier as its female counterpart, but here we are. Alpha, you will be going down in history for this.
No joke, I genuinely think PB actually tried with this one. And it shows. The underwear shape that actually shows off his legs and hips! The strappy garter belt! The chains decorating his chest! The hip windows! The MOTHER! FUCKING! HIP WINDOWS!!!!!
My only nitpick is that I do still think the fem one had slightly more effort put into it? With the lace pattern and the chains on the leg and arm. But it's not nearly as offensive here because the male one still clearly had a good amount of effort put into it to make it actually as sexy as the female one.
Here's hoping we see more of this kind of effort in future books!
7th 8th Place (Least Intolerable): Male Reagan's BDSM gear
Tumblr media
This is least intolerable because it has more redeeming qualities about it. I like that the harness accentuates his thicc tiddies, I like that the undies are drawn in such a way that kind of accentuate the roundness of his thighs.
But the outfit itself just... reeks of laziness. Female Reagan gets a whole ass bodysuit and thigh-highs. But for male Reagan, all they do is take what looks like regular old boxer briefs (I don't care that it has a button-latch dick opening, that's like only one small adjustment from regular boxer briefs) and slap a harness and wristcuffs onto it.
And sure, male Reagan's is arguably more revealing, but it's still pretty bland and it doesn't accentuate his form nearly as much as female Reagan's does.
6th 7th Place: AME Male MC's underwear
Tumblr media
I really should put this one lower on the ranking because of that god damned robe, but this one is probably the only other one with any genuinely redeeming quality in it, so that's why it's here. But that's not saying much.
Admittedly I like the red satin undies. They're actually kinda flattering, even if a bit plain. But then I get bugged by the fact that these kind of undies are not the norm or default for regular male underwear. If anything, it's kind of insulting that such a garment can only be in a "sexy underwear" outfit and not in default male underwear.
But then you have the robe. Oh my god. I think I'm being incredibly very nice and generous by putting this one so high. The robe honestly ruins any flattering effect that the satin undies may or may not have had. Of all the extra accessories they could have given him, they went with a freaking Hugh Hefner robe. Why? Just why?
Not to mention that the getup as a whole is incredibly lazy to boot. Look at female MC, she gets a whole set of lacy lingerie that highlights and accentuates her form, not to mention the extra jewelery pieces. Then you have male MC where they took basic satin underwear and just slapped a robe– a ROBE of all things– onto it. At least when they were lazy with male Reagan's outfit, they had the decency to not make the outfit de-flattering (even if the undies part is more bland).
Oh, and to add insult to injury, PB couldn't even be bothered to change the dialogue leading up to the outfit purchase option for male MC. Meaning you get to see this fugly-ass outfit described as "crimson lace". My heart goes out to anyone who may or may not have been led on to think a male MC was gonna get actually flattering lace lingerie, only to get slapped in the face by Hugh Hefner's bathroom-lookin robe.
6th Place: TPA Male MC's underwear
Tumblr media
PB clearly learned nothing from TNA 3 wedding night. Or rather, they somehow thought that Sam's poopytime wedding night robe and basic-AF "fancy" briefs were peak male "sexy underwear" design and decided to use that same formula AGAIN for TPA MC. Someone needs to send them the masc MC's lingerie from ILW, like, right now. Stop this disease before it spreads to other upcoming Choices books.
So given all that, well, you're probably wondering why it's so high on the list. Like, this one directly copies the formula of my first place option (yeah, spoilers for my first place option, I literally do not give a shit). Yeah, you thought I was being forgiving with the placement of AME MC's underwear? Well I'm being veryyyyy forgiving with this one.
Fun fact, I originally had it just above AME MC's underwear. Why? Well, this one is at least somewhat visually and aesthetically pleasing to look at. Of all the 3 robe outfits (AME m!MC, Sam Dalton, and TPA m!MC), I do feel like this one is easily the least offensive to the eyes. I genuinely like the metallic/shiny purple colors on it and some of the design on the edges. It has a bit of an evening-luxurious vibe to it that I kinda like, compared to AME m!MC's outfit's Hugh Hefner vibe and Sam Dalton's outfit's bathroom time vibe. Much unlike its parent outfit (Sam's robe), it doesn't really invoke the imagery of going to the bathroom to take a shit– but rather, going to the bathroom to take a nice luxurious bath.
But that's also kind of the problem. Because when you then look at f!MC's version, you don't think of luxurious bath time. You think of sexy time. As per usual, f!MC gets multi-piece lacy lingerie that highlights her form, as opposed to m!MC gets boxer briefs and a robe. And that right there is the exact problem with a lot of the outfits here– the males' outfits aren't allowed to radiate nearly as much "sexy time" energy as the females' outfits are. They're like the sexy underwear equivalent to Elle Woods wearing a bunnysuit to that party with a casual dress code. In fairness to Elle Woods of course, she was tricked into dressing up like that. But PB has no excuse, they know full well what they're doing and they just don't care.
The boxers also look... really awkward and clunky with having the same trim as the robe? It makes the whole outfit in of itself feel more suited as pajamas than as a "male equivalent" to lace lingerie. AME m!MC's outfit may have a Hugh Hefner vibe that ruins what is otherwise a perfectly fine pair of sexy satin panties and is just a huge slap in the face, but at least that one actually has a sexy element to it. Which is why I ended up putting the TPA outfit lower. Fun fact: the real male equivalent to lacy lingerie should also be lacy lingerie, not that hard PB. Boxer briefs and a robe isn't something you should market as "lingerie"/"sexy underwear" unless you plan on giving the same to f!MC.
5th-3rd Place: The Male TRR LIs' underwears
Tumblr media
Male LIs just get patterned boxer briefs while Hana gets a whole set of flattering lingerie. If that isn't peak low effort, then I don't know what is. And PB even had the audacity to call them "upgrades", so minus points for that too.
Now, I lumped these all together so I could demonstrate how low-effort all of them are in comparison to the set that Hana gets. But don't worry, I'll be placing each of them individually. Each of them deserves to get roasted on their own.
5th Place: Maxwell's underwear
Tumblr media
You might be surprised that this is ranked higher than the other male TRR LI's underwears. Well so am I. This is probably the weirdest pattern anyone could ever put on "sexy underwear". But hey, it's Maxwell, he's a goofy mofo and he loves squids. It's at least kinda in character for Maxwell, and so it at least has some charm to it that made me giggle a bit. Like, of all 3 male TRR LIs' underwears, this is probably the one that had the most (or least small) amount of thought put into it.
But even then, this is the kind of shit that should be his default undies (well, preferably if you make them actual briefs). There's a lot of wasted potential here for sexy underwear for Maxwell. Why not a g-string "banana hammock" where the dick pouch looks like a squid? Or some top piece that looks like a squid where its "tentacles" are strappy things that accentuate his features? HOW ABOUT A SQUID SHAPED GARTER WHERE ITS "TENTACLES" ARE STRAPPY THINGS THAT HOLD UP THIGH HIGHS? Put some creativity into it! A little bit of goofy and squid-inspired design to fit Maxwell's personality, but also a little bit of flattering and body-accentuating to still have a sexy appeal.
4th Place: Drake's underwear
Tumblr media
Really guys? A freaking dot pattern? Really? This is the type of pattern I expect to see on flannel pajamas! It's so bland and empty and just blehhhhhh. And that's all I have to say about it, because it's so bland.
So you know what that means right? When I've made it to the blandest of the bland but the list isn't even over yet? Yep, we're now getting into the truly cataclysmically abysmal category. The Top 3 worst male Choices underwears of all time.
3rd Place: Liam's underwear
Tumblr media
I sometimes feel like I should swap this placement with the placement for Drake's underwear. The pattern may still look like it belongs on a quilt, but it does somewhat fit Liam's character, while the pattern on Drake's has zero character or creativity whatsoever.
So why is this lower? Maybe I'm just biased because Liam is one of my most favorite LIs.... or maybe it's lower because Liam's default undies are actually flattering– in fact, one of the few existing male undies in Choices that are actually flattering– but PB has the audacity to treat this new bullshit underwear as an "upgrade". I mean, yeah, all the male TRR LIs' underwear are falsely advertised as "upgrades", but at least for Drake and Maxwell, their default undies are just boxer briefs. There's no real upgrade, but I can't really say there's much of a downgrade either.
But for Liam? He gets a total downgrade here. Sure, the black undies may be plain, but they're at least skimpy and are better at accentuating his form. And you expect me to believe that generic ass boxer briefs are an upgrade from that? IDK what kind of mental gymnastics PB did to get to that conclusion.
2nd Place: OH Male MC's BDSM gear
Tumblr media
I was originally gonna put this one in first place because it's so damn ugly. But then I realized, I have a lot more to rant about for my actual first place option than for this.
But don't get me wrong, this is still some trash tier stuff. There is a reason I originally considered it for first place after all. I'd describe it as "Male Reagan's BDSM gear, but how can we make it even worse?", Except for the fact that OH 3 finished releasing to us before Surrender was even first announced so yeah. The harness hardly even TRIES to accentuate his form, and... oh my fucking god... those pants. Those pants. Those FUCKING PANTS
Why leather pants? Why? I mean, yes, leather pants can be sexy as they hug the ass and hips and thighs, but... the female MC version is a pair of skimpy lace underwear with body-accentuating (although arguably possibly more uncomfortable, but I'm not an expert) harness pieces. How anyone could consider a simple harness and leather pants to be a legitimate equivalent to that is beyond me.
And to add salt to the wound, it has a crotch shoelace. It's not only ugly as sin, but it also feels like something that would be very awkward. Imagine trying to get MC's dick out or take the pants off and you/he has to fumble with a stupid shoelace on his crotch. It just seems so awkward and tacky.
1st Place (The Worst of the Worst): Sam's underwear
Tumblr media
Sometimes I wonder if PB is deliberately trolling us. Like, this can't just be them being naive. It's like they actually try to make their male underwear as de-flattering as possible. IDK how often they hear from fans that their male underwear designs are mediocre, but it doesn't matter because how can you have a design that combines worst elements of the two previous male "sexy underwears" and not be knowing what you're doing?
This outfit is ATROCIOUS. They really took the worst aspect of AME MC's underwear "upgrade" (the robe) and the worst aspect of the TRR male LIs' underwear "upgrades" (the boxer briefs) of all things, and combined them together. I mean, IDK if PB actually based this off of those past underwears, but the fact that this outfit resembles those underwears' worst aspects makes me want to sacrifice myself to Redfield.
Did they really expect us to find this sexy? They gave female Sam an actually accentuating lace lingerie suit, but male Sam here looks like he's about to spend one hour of his morning on the toilet taking a shit while reading a magazine or the newspaper. Oh yeah MC totally finds that sooooo sexyyyyy she loves to watch the poopoo oh yeah plus Desire flame plus Desire flame plus Desire flame HAHA NO. Maybe consider that if your "sexy underwear" design can evoke the imagery of someone taking a shit, maybe just maybeeeeee reconsider your design???
Also the fact that a robe was even included in such an outfit ruins the whole effect of the sexy underwear reveal in the first place. We have to see Sam take off his wedding suit, then go over and get a robe to put on over the underwear. Isn't the point of the sexy wedding night underwear generally to have an element of surprise? Like if MC were to walk into the room and see Sam posing in the outfit, that would make sense. It'd still be a terrible outfit, but at least the moment would still have a smooth flow. But they're clearly going for the idea of undressing to reveal the outfit- except we have to watch him put on a part of the outfit– namely, a part of the outfit that makes it worse. It's like surprising someone on their birthday or Christmas with socks and deodorant as a wrapped present, then going "oh by the way this is also part of the present" and slapping a handful of mud onto the socks and deodorant once the present is opened. Versus the preferable alternative of presenting them with an unwrapped surprise present of mud-covered socks and deodorant. Both are insulting as all fuck, but the alternative at least is consistent with its effect.
And the worst part? This is a default outfit. At least all the previous ones were only determinant diamond outfits that you could choose to pass up (except Reagan's BDSM wear which is a default outfit, but it's highest on the list so it gets a pass kinda). But here we're forced to see Sam wear his toilet time robe during the forced default wedding night smut scene. As if that whole smut scene itself wasn't already nasty and unprompted. Good lord, I think I may need to head to the toilet for an hour myself, before I shit myself from how aggravating these outfits are. Be right back.
...
Alrighty I'm back. Anyways, that's my ranking for all the special underwear outfits! Feel free to add your own thoughts and suffer along with me

My I request that fandom thing for Arcane, pretty please?
Send me a fandom and I'll answer:
How long I’ve been in the fandom (if at all): I believe I watched Arcane at the end of November in 2021 after I saw a gifset of Silco and Jinx in the finale scene and I was like 'oh, I need to know what happened there' I remember drawing a lot of arcane things after and making the text posts sjsj So I was most active fandom-wise the months after that point. I do want to draw Jinx again though. I don't think I could draw Silco well otherwise I'd draw him too. My favorite male character: Silco My favorite female character: Jinx 1 OTP: Timebomb (Jinx x Ekko) 1 NOTP: Uh, the creepy one with Jinx (I'm sure you know) Funniest character: Jinx or Viktor sjsjs They amuse me (though they also devastate me at the same time) Prettiest character: Mel Medarda, of course. She has a peak design and the person that did it deserves all the awards. Most annoying character: Jayce. Like--- I'm not saying he is SUPER annoying, but out of everyone, he has definitely annoyed me the most. Most badass character: I'm very biased so I'm going with Jinx. I love her fighting style and just--- her in general. Every fight she is in is iconic. Character I want as my best friend: Viktor. Provided I'm not involved in his work, I think I'd be the most safe around him in that world plus he just seems like someone that's really easy to get along with. Female character I’d marry: I wouldn't, but if I had to choose probably Mel. She's the most level-headed. Male character I’d marry: hmmmm, I dunno? None of these guys are having a great time sjsjs If I had to choose though--- ekko? He just seems like he'd be the best choice out of the guys in Arcane sjsjs. Least favorite character: ...Jayce and/or Caitlyn? I don't dislike either, but I hardly pay mind to them at all tbh sjsjj

Wally anon: Wait, I have to start this response by saying I watched Prom Pact (had started while drafting the last ask & kept getting distracted) & I actually really liked it dkddsm? Like, it was a Actual Movie, not just a Disney Movie™ with a clear plot & characters & doing what so many teen shows/movies in recent years have been unable to do with the romcom energy? (And ohhhhh my god, the possibilities for Ben. He is SO wildly different & Milo made a good case for why he should've been a film geek character in the newest Screams instead of Mindy (that's nothing against Jasmin Savoy Brown, she's funny as hell but the film geek writing given to her is often very. forced), just so much to think about 😵‍💫)
And if you flip him over on his back, gripping onto his hips while you're eating him out & looking him intently in his eyes, that drives him even c r a z i e r. He's panting, can't stop watching you, moaning your name, etc. completely lost to a guy smaller than him making him feel THAT good.
Exactlyyy (cause we know he can only keep up the roleplay for so long & those eye holes were a major deal breaker for him). Oh, I completelyyyy see it. 👀 It might be time for you to write something about it if you have that much of a thing for him wearing it. 🤭 (And you know when he's fucking you, he doesn't even fully take them off, he just slips the overalls down just. enough to stick his dick out)
Ugh, tell me about it. It's always "Think of the children" when 2 men just so happen to look each other's way, but if it's some truly weirdo dumbass shit between the hets they're mute. (Yupppp. Like, just be into what you're into, respectfully, & mind your business elsewhere cause literally nobody gaf like you do with trying to be in other people's business! Look in the mirror at the kinda shit you're into before pointing fingers around the gays (but no, they'd rather go down incel pipelines cause it can't. be their fault, never them) 🖕) Yessss. You're fully cockdrunk from the sheer force of both of them going at you at once & can barely register how. hot it's gotten since they've started cause you're thinking about how FULL you feel. And they'd absolutely have to carry you around everywhere after that cause you could not feel anything. down there after they're finished & make you cum so hard you pass out. 😮‍💨
You get it. 🙌 The only thing that would disappoint you about your investigating is that he can't fill you full of his ectoplasm even though he cums in you every time. 🥴
And that's where the vision of him as a killer comes in again. 😏 (Well, I'd say you lucked out pretty well with me if you want recommendations cause I have seen so. much; how much would you like me to send your way?)  Yup & the thing can't even die, just...hibernates until it's time to eat again. Very inventive creature design fr. (Hmm, I'd have to really think about who my favorite final boy is. I really like Darry, but know there are others I prefer as a result of, uh, not dying 🫣) Unfortunately so many things have relied on CGI as a crutch in recent memory, that much is certain. Saw II >>>> my favorite of the Saws fr.
omgggg Yes! I loveeeee UD. (I wish I got more out of TQ, there were many things I liked about it, but the faults were...plentiful). Probably a litte bit of both. I've seen here & there how hard male reader accs have to fight to be like, "Hello, this is not a general reader situation, there aren't many of us as is!" One would think the point would be made. 💔 I guess you could say that makes us a good team. 🫡  Will continue to do so when the ideas form in my head. 👍
Oh for sureee. He just wants to hear you. say you want it fully in you.
Absolutely. Some people just don't understand the struggle of having a big dick & a fat ass but they do! 😌 Yessss. It really is THE perfect pair of underwear to show of allllll his assets while being both form-fitting & extremely comfortable. (ooh, you'll have to let me know how that goes)
YESSSS IVE BRAINWASHED CONVINCED SOMEONE ELSE TO LIKE THE MOVIE sksjsk yeah I think it’s pretty good (probably because Disney had no involvement besides producing it now that I think about it… makes it sooo much better. plus the adult jokes were surprising to hear) and yesss Ben is sooo🫣 he could easily fill in for Mindy’s role in the Scream movies. (and yeah, it feels forced and honestly it weirdly makes Chad feel less relevant than he already is in Scream 5 and 6 because they give him nothing and force sm on Mindy)
Yesss omg he finally sees the height difference as more than having to constant look down at someone else and make sure they aren’t being carried away by rival bugs LMAO He’s worried that you’ll disappear from the height difference as you sink down and eat him out. He alternates between having his hand pushing you more against his hole and jerking himself off, even though you can do it just fine sksjs
Exactlyyy you’re riding him and hes fully undressed you so you can feel the rough denim and then his smooth skin pressing against you. It’s sooo hot and yes i will write something about it🫡 Milo has had so many random good looks that it’s crazy he’s been on a streak since day 1 lmao
Yeah I hate that hypocrisy. I’ve seen so many straight dudes into freaky stuff that’s the standard for them yet out of place for gays. It’s insane, but as long as they aren’t judging others for it idgaf if they like it. They’re gonna make you cum, pull out, then argue about who’s carrying you until they finally come (cum) to an agreement, which went soooo well just figuring out who got what hole (they both took the same one sooo)
I know it breaks School Spirits rules about ghosts, but idc. He can and will fill you with his ectoplasm to help with your findings. He wants you to have bags of it by the time you leave fr
My ask box knows no limits so send how ever many you want😮‍💨 and yessss Ryan as the killer would have worked so well (not really, I just want him to have that Stu/Billy craze.) Exactly!! Darry is so fine I can’t help but not like him and Justin Long’s portrayal of him… but he dies😪 moving up in the movies we have Buddy Hooks (played by tommy from stranger things soooo🤭) who didn’t die?! I actually have no idea because that movie was so. boring. HDD makes sense with CGI though because some stuff couldn’t be done given the budget and all, and it’s not used in place of actual sets (cough cough Marvel cough cough.) Saw II, I, and X in that order from best to worst >>>> the rest
Yeah I remember Zach (Jacob’s actor) saying about half the game was cut and so that’s probably the cause of all the faults I noticed. (Like how Abby’s death scene in glitched. She can die and still appear as a “bitten” survivor or she can survive the entire game without getting bit or dying, yet still be marked as bitten at the end of the game. The lack of polish is just really bad.) At least UD was in development for years and had dozens of reworks and delays to make it a good product. Yes ugh I hate that male readers have to fight for fem reader to be the specification instead of “x reader” meaning male or female reader depending on who the fic features (it’s usually the opposite reader of the gender of the character it’s about.) And typically “x reader” defaults to female no matter what. I know it sounds contradictory but it’s true.
And it’s in season! Wally knows the struggle of finding underwear to fit him (so he usually doesn’t wear it) and even pants struggle to contain all that. (going back to the teasing by ripping his pants/shorts) And I will! I suck at digital art but we must soldier through for the brainrot🫡 (and practice because you can get better without it)

The whole don't touch a baby rabbit thing is a myth just fyi in case you didn't know! The meat eating rabbit thing is a cool idea for a character though, what do they look like
This is a reference to a reblog of mine on a post about sharing your fursonas, in which I left these tags: #a cat fish#as in a cat but with fish features#not really a fursona cause they're more cat-girl ish than full anthropomorphic animal#but i could turn her into a fursona if i tried#i have two unrelated to me that are a rat with a split swen-shut stomach based on a dead mouse that entered my room and got caught in a trap#and one of those really fluffy rabbits with long fur#except he is based on how rabbit mother will eat their babies if theyre touched by humans#so this one survived being eaten but became a meat eater as a consequence#hes nice enough to not do cannibalism... but he could
(I wrote most of this on my new phone, where autocorrect doesn't work. So I'll take this chance to also remind people english is not my first language.)
Okay, didn't know that. But the whole idea was because I was interested in how an herbivore animal would resource to eat flesh specifically to eat their children.
I went to read about it right now and it happens due to something wrong with the babies (they're gonna die) or something wrong with the mom (shes gonna die and be unable to care for them or she lacks nutrients), so its something related to it being a last resource... oh well.
Anyways, here's the character (this is from 2 years ago, so it's traditional art, and i can't scan it, so I edited it instead :/)
Tumblr media
He sometimes wears a mask to hide his mouth because it is full of sharp teeth. And idk if its visible in the picture, but he has some sort of thin shawl in his waist, which is the last thing his mom left behind. (BTW, I make all my male characters a bit androgynous/fem cause when i decided to learn how to draw guys I focused on what i wanted to look like and now i cant stop drawing them like this :/)
Anyways, his story is that he's part of a species of anthropomorphic rabbits (humans exist in this world too, I dont remember if i made other species canon, just rabbits plus an hare character), but a specific kind (visually based on angora rabbits) that lives isolated from human society.
Basically his mom ventured too far from her village and had to take shelter in the residence of a human. She gave birth there, the human touched the children at some point out of concern and... things happened and he only was capable of saving one.
What I came up with was that her kind got isolated from humans for a reason, in this case a curse, and that making contact with a human at that age is enough to mess the antro bunny up. He grew sharp teeth and basically can barely eat typical rabbit food, actually even preferring rabbit flesh (having in mind normal non-antro rabbits exist). He was raised by that same human. I don't remember what I came up in relation to that.
Also, there are other kinds of antro rabbits in this universe without this kind of problem.
Anyways, he goes on a search to find his mom again. However, the catch is that not even his mom nor any of his kind are aware of why they avoid humans, and his mom thought that the human had killed all her children (cause her clothes had blood in them) and that the trauma made her forget. So she's not even aware she ate her children.
It's kinda fucked, I'm noticing now that I'm writing this down.
Disclaimer: This is not my typical type of art. I sometimes draw non human characters, but I prefer to draw my characters looking relatively human. From the top of my head, this character, two moth related ones and one rat one are the only furry characters i created with a fully set design, out of my hundreds of human ones. So basically, dont expect this type of art much. (Or any art at all, I'm lazy and i dont post anything here 😓)

at some point im gonna doodle Band AU Shadow and Maria in the sweaters like goddamn i really love how you characterized them the trans chapter still makes me tear up, I like how you rolled with the idea of sexual dimorphism between female and male hedgehog Mobians too tbh, did any of that originate from Amy's old design by chance? How she had once had her quills spiked up but later it was changed to them being slicked down? (Personally I like the echidna-hedgie hybrid theory for her but your take on it is really neat!)
I also just love how you've characterized them all. I'm gonna be ranting a bunch and it's gonna be confusing a lil but like pls stay with me i just have the Big 'Tism so my brain go hugvyfcrytjkn
I enjoy having the whole thing be very plotless tbh, there's not enough of that in fics imo and it's the exact stuff I need a lot and I love that. I don't ever really feel anxious that, say, Maria is gonna suddenly die or some shit like that, or that some cataclysmic event is gonna suddenly happen. I like that, I've needed a lotta that honestly. I just love how you've written it so much,,
I am still curious about Shadow's past, though. Was he still genetically engineered? Is he still part-alien??? Does Chaos Energy even properly exist??? Is Gerald just A Guy who is a scientist and actually succeeded at what he'd wanted to do???? Seeing as it seems his "backstory" never properly happened, and they're in modern times, I presume Gerald would be still alive or something. Is Eggman there too???? /Is there potential that younger-Eggman exists and he's like a weird internet troll to the band or something????/ Perhaps jealous that his cousin gets to meet the "cool guys" and there's a very small and non-dramatic plot of Tails being like "ugh this guy again" and Maria's like "oh yeah thats my cousin!" and everyone's like "WHAT????"
There's just so much to explore with such a domestic take on these characters honestly, and I really love that. It explores parts of their characters that often don't get touched often due to how much they're always fighting or dealing with drama. It allows dynamics to be explored that are never really toyed with in canon. Adapting various pieces of the characters to a more laid-back setting is genuinely REALLY fun and you've done it so well I just,,, wawUUUGH,,,
I'm so interested to see what goes on with Knuckles too, since his whole story is seemingly so fantastical yet so easy to adapt to a more mature and "realistic" setting. Does he simply come from a culture that's often overlooked in this world? Is his inner compass about protecting his family name? Is he actually the last echidna in this world or are echidnas moreso simply a group that are marginalized in some way? I almost feel like him being someone who's struggled through, like, immigrant struggles would almost be a really interesting take on him as a character. He's quiet about who he is, where he's from, often keeping to himself, it's why he doesn't sing on his own and why he often is seemingly just... There. But Amy knows, she's one of the only ones who does know.
And maybe if Shadow still shares that "being made in a lab" past as his canon self, perhaps he and Knuckles could end up being friends if Shadow were to learn about his past. They could relate to one another's feelings of not belonging where they are, yet having strong drives to defend WHO they are.
(I've been reading a lot of immigrant poetry recently for class and because, despite not sharing those experiences, I still always feel like I relate to the general themes of them. I dunno why, but I always imagine Knuckles being the type to write stuff like that himself, since his whole story draws a lot from very real and serious sorts of topics that can be related to some of those real-life issues. I really like that about him, how it always seems that his story is taken VERY seriously and not downplayed. That's why I liked him in Frontiers, and why I know many liked him in Sonic 2. Just mentioning this all because that's my inspiration for even coming up with this idea)
Again I absolutely do not wanna seem like im hijacking your story! I just wanted to rant about characters because hmmmmng,,, you write them so well and give me many idea and I love that,,
damn you put so much more thought into this au than i did LMAO
ummm okay i'll take these one by one
first: the trans chapter, that is ABSOLUTELY what i wanted to do and i'm so glad someone picked up on it. I think male hedgehog mobians have their quills spiked up while female hedgehogs tend to have them drip down. That's why Sonic pre-transition tied up his quills! However, I do think Amy fucks with her presentation a bit in that sense, she still spikes up her quills (though i think, similarly to how there are short haircuts that are deemed femenine by humans, the same thing could apply to hedgehog mobians and their quills)
about it being plotless... aha. haha. im gonna be honest. i love drama. there WILL be some dramatic event, and there’s gonna be drama, but it's not gonna be sudden. i'll be sure to have enough build up so it hurts a little less. a little. but its gonna take a while. so dont worry about it :)
OKAY shadow's past. okay. yeah so. okay. everything is like a lot more normal and domestic than in canon, so the whole magic and powers aspect is... altered. similarly to how it is in pirate au, the characters still have some trait thats similar to their powers/abilities in regular canon (sonic raced in highschool and regularly goes on runs, for example). I think Chaos Energy and the chaos emeralds and all that stuff is the equivalent they'd have of mythology. some people believe it, some people don't. "chaos and the emeralds" is a name that came to sonic based on one of those myths.
so... about shadow. gerald is dead. old age. i'm gonna try to explore shadow's past on later chapters so i'll keep it to: shadow was adopted by and raised by gerald until the doctor died, leaving shadow in charge of finishing raising maria. (and also, i didnt take eggman in consideration for this au because... implications. but it would be funny if he was just maria's annoying cousin that both of them can't stand)
and about knuckles! yeah, it's pretty much the former! it'd be interesting if he was an immigrant or someone from an overlooked culture. and no he is definitely not the last of his kind but i do think where the gang leaves it's not THAT common to see echidnas. i don’t think i'll touch much on that because... well i'm very much white and very much live in my birth country so i am deeply unqualafied to write about immigrant struggles, but that's definitely the direction i'd love to go to for knuckles. also you didnt ask this but he's like a big brother figure to amy, they were childhood friends
i actually hadn't thought about most of the things you asked, and this helped me do some worldbuilding, so thanks a lot for the questions!!!

I just had a man try to mansplain to me that a tiefling can have Caucasian skin tones (never said they couldn't.)
I commented that as much as I loved the D&D film I was sad that their tiefling design felt so vanilla. I barely noticed her tail, her skin tone was very... pretty white girl. And her horns curved back so close to her head that it felt like they were hiding them. This is coming from an artist's perspective. These design choices are to make characters conventially attractive. The wild shape stuff? Fantastic. I see why Halsin fans were flipping out over him because Doric going berserk as the Owlbear was HOT. Keep her small and scrappy but how about some scars? Slightly bigger or more obvious horns but adorn them with jewelry or something. You can still keep the design pretty and allow the tiefling part really show through.
I mentioned Shads (trying not to end up in tags) because she was also designed this way, imo.
They removed muscle mass in her arms and her tattoos from the original design. To me it felt like "we need one pretty girl out of the main three who is conventially attractive for cis het white male gamers."
In my d u rge play through I had a moment where at first I chuckled because "oh she wants to fuck near the fire and try to stay quiet."
Then I thought about it and realized that we (as far as I am aware) have not had sex? Why would she assume that my girl coming to her frantic and worried in the middle of the night that I wanted sex? Hmmm. Who would this appeal to.
Tumblr media
My guy, what do muscles have to do with her being a healer? Muscles don't even necessarily directly correlate to strength stat in the game. Look at the men!! But you know, that doesn't matter, I guess.
And I OBVIOUSLY also fell for the conventially attractive goth femme but I am not above pointing out why she was designed the way she was. 😆

i just finished 800+ chapters of a chinese webnovel after about 5 days of reading on and off
and now i dont know what to do
(i mean yes i have many things to do its just -- im very book hungover. im out of fuel. i need to resurface and recalibrate etc etc)
oh and i read most of it via machine translation... but it was mostly surprisingly understandable, aided by the fact i speak chinese so i can kinda fill in some gaps when things are translated off or wrong (im illiterate in chinese tho so fancier stuff still eludes me, RIP)
it was so good tho. it was not a romance at all despite for some reason being labeled one (probably bc the labeling system is dumb and sexist in cnovels and they designate anything with a female lead as romance 🙄)
like 800+ chapters in and not even the side characters have much to do with romance.
also fairly certain the guy i ship with the protagonist is not going to be romantic with her, and he's just going to be like, a platonic sibling, while the guy who the authors notes? says is the male lead is uh. i dont see how this is gonna work lol. i don't want him.
oh right it's ongoing so 👀 it seems to update once a day? I'll have to keep checking back...
also it's actually good story about a female monarch. like she's set up to be a "lord" from a young age due to her personal philosophies during a chaotic age, and she naturally draws talented individuals to work under her to support her rule, and it focuses on her combat prowess, her clever political scheming, her love of farming (this one plays a big role lol), and her desire to put the needs of the people first in an age where warlords rule and don't care at all for the lives of the lower class.
it's soooo much about her competence, but doesn't feel too OP to the point she's a Mary Sue, and there's a lot less... focus? I guess on the sort of typical infighting and backstabbing that "female monarch" stories have, plus the lack of romance so far really sets it all apart
oh and it's also about her making the world less sexist and letting women also do magic and serve as officials and soldiers and be less helpless and dependent on men
ugh, i just really liked it a lot!!!
there's 30+ chapters translated by people online rn and there's 814 chapters total in chinese, which you can find just by searching the chinese title
it's called Step Down, Let Me Come! by Fried Shiitake Mushrooms, and the novel updates link is here:
and the chinese title and author are:
author: 油爆香菇
title: 退下,让朕来
i might have to figure out how to get an acct and comment on the official site for the novel (and also figure out which is the official site lol) and get my comment translated. i want to beg the author to make the male lead the guy she has actually met and has chemistry with! 😭😭 unless i misunderstood some translated authors' notes, I'm pretty sure it's not him and im just 😠 no. i dont want that lol.

Fire Emblem Warriors Three Hopes- New Trailer Analysis
Can I start by saying how f*cking ludicrous my timing is? I, just yesterday, posted my tier list for the FEW characters, and today I woke up to find a new trailer for Three Hopes just dropped. If you think I planned this in the slightest, you are sorely overestimating me.
Anyway, this trailer gave me a lot of material, and it's time to dig in.
Right off the bat, the very first thing they showed threw me for a loop. After almost two months of us thinking we got the premise of this game, they just come out saying, "Hey, you know that purple-haired guy you all thought was the villain? Well, sike! They're the protagonist and Byleth is the villain!" Like
What?!
Huh. I guess "Warriors-style spinoffs being an AU of the original game" is becoming a thing now.
But, honestly, this is probably the best thing about this game so far. Taking the designated protagonist and turning them into an antagonist and giving the spotlight to a new character is absolutely ingenious. Especially because, again they kept us in the dark about this for almost two months. I was already hyped for this game, but now I'm practically impatient for it to release. The moment it becomes available for preorder, I'm getting it.
Speaking of our new protagonist, Shez, they seem pretty interesting. It doesn't seem like they're taking Byleth's place as a professor, they seem to be more like a wandering mercenary who teams up with the house leaders because they have bad blood with Byleth. We still don't know the details of this game's story so I can't be sure of what Shez's deal is, but I'm looking forward to finding out more. I mean, the fact that they actually talk already puts them above Byleth. And even though I like the male design better, I will be playing this as the female because if this game does have s-supports, I am not missing out on Dimitri!
And I guess that transitions to the lords well enough. We do still have the split paths, but, again, since we don't know the details of the story yet, it's unknown why they're fighting each other or what they're fighting against. I still feel like at some point the three houses will combine into one, but we'll have to wait and see. Can I also take a second to gush about the path names? Scarlet Blaze, Azure Gleam, Golden Wildfire; f*ck those are cool names!
And since we're on the three houses, I can talk more about the characters we see. Granted, we don't get much for SB outside of a better look at Hubert, who I still love! He's goth in all the right ways! We do also get a quick shot of him confronting who I think is Ferdinand based on the hair color and armor, but they are just offscreen so I can really tell. Hopefully we'll get a better look at them soon. For AG, we get Dedue and he looks so good! They did my man justice! And for GW, we get a better look at Hilda, whose design I like better than her post-time skip look. And later in the trailer we see Lorenz and Oh my God I love his hair!
Seriously, they are just hitting it outta the park with these new designs.
And I have no clue how to segway into this, but we do get a quick shot of Flayn, and please don't hurt my baby. And also, how exactly does the church fit into all of this? Are they a neutral party? Will they be designated antagonists in certain routes? Are we gonna be able to recruit them? Please let us recruit them. Shamir, Cyril, Seteth, Flayn- I need them with me. Also, playable Rhea cause that would be cool.
And hey, I managed to create a leeway into talking about the gameplay!
Seems like one of my hopes for this game came true as we are getting gameplay features from Three Houses implemented into Three Hopes. Adjutants, weapon arts, battalions, side missions, and the one that caught me most off guard, class changing. Completely altering how you fight to fit your preference. That is amazing (even if I'm going to completely undermine it by sticking to my favorite class because that's just what I do when you give me lots of choices).
And we even get a whole new base to explore. Granted, I know some people found walking around Garreg Mach to get tedious after a while. I never had that problem, since I always found it relaxing. Just make it so the base isn't that big and allow us to access its features outside of it and it shouldn't be that big if an issue.
Also, I have no clue where to put this, but during what I assume is a map from SB, we see that Monica is a member of your team. Like, is that the real Monica? Is that Kronya disguised as her? Is she gonna get outed at one point? Is Edelgard still working with the Slithers in this? Actually, what is the Slithers role in this game?
This is how you can tell I'm invested, I'm asking all these questions.
Also, during the little cutscene montage, we do get a shot of someone that a lot of people seem to think is Holst. If this is the game where we finally get to meet him, that would be kinda sick.
And the last thing I want to discuss is Byleth and how they might be connected to Shez. The trailer says "Challenge the Ashen Demon as a mercenary who was meant to fade into the waves of history." This fits in well with the AU mindset since Shez doesn't exist in Three Houses, but it could take on a different meaning. It's possible that Shez has to fight and defeat Byleth or else they'll cease to exist. After all, we still don't know what's the deal with the new god Shez is connected with, but they do say "I'm the closest ally you have" and "We're partners in destiny", so they may know more than it seems. Or maybe it's a codependency thing where Shez has to exist so they can exist (I can't tell if the God is a boy or girl). We'll have to wait and see.
And no, internet, Byleth is not gonna die. I doubt that IS would have the balls to introduce a new protagonist just to have them f*cking kill the old one. I guarantee that at some point in the story, maybe late game, Byleth will join you. And it will interesting to see Byleth take on a smaller role. Just, for the love of God, don't have them take the spotlight from Shez. This is Shez's story, not Byleth's. I'd rather the focus be on this potentially interesting and intriguing new hero than the walking plank of wood we had last game.
Alright, I think that's everything.
Can you tell I'm really f*cking excited about this game?

━━━ Atsumu Miya is a free-loader. Living inside his twin brother's home as if it was his, he would bring home girls and annoy Osamu most of the time. Y/N L/N is quite the opposite apparently because she's a virgin loser. Being the popular anonymous BL mangaka known as Yamazaki, she stays in the homey abode of her parents and watches boys from afar for references (not for admiration sadly).
Now what will happen if fate decided to tie these two idiots together and made them live across each other in one apartment?
。m.list ❯❯ prev┃next
Tumblr media
ONE ━━ THE TWIN BROTHER’S DECISION
Tumblr media
"SO THAT'S THE TEA?"
You nodded dejectedly and raised the Tuna Mayo Onigiri in the direction of your mouth. You bit into the delicious rice snack, humming in delight as the saucy and sweet flavors of tuna cheered you up just for a slight bit. "They said that a girl my age shouldn't be living with her parents and should finally get a guy instead of drawing an imaginary one. You know that they're old school, Mai." You said, mouth full of rice bits and tuna.
The female ran her fingers through her short bright red hair. "Well, you are 25 now, and you haven't got a boyfriend since middle school," She propped her elbow on top of the round wooden table, resting her chin on her palm. "But they should've told you beforehand, right? How are you supposed to look for a residence in a short span of time?" She asked and watched you devour the onigiri meal with such ease. Her black-colored eyes held an uncertain expression as Mai was concerned for her colleague and friend.
After hearing the unfortunate news directly from your loving parents, your mind had to process the sudden information for two solid minutes. The first person you thought of to call is your closest friend, Mai, your roommate back at art school and a mangaka in the shounen industry. Although the two genres have completely different backgrounds, you two are stuck together like peas in a pod through the grace and glory of fawning over 2d men.
Ain't that great?
"They said I could stay back for two weeks until I could find a place to move in. I still have nine days to move out. And as for the residence part..."
You rummaged through the leather bag slung over your shoulder and took out a creased brochure of a newly built apartment based in the heart of east Osaka with its breathtaking cherry blossom conifers and pious shrines. The leaflet's minimalistic design delineated the idiosyncratic architectural structure of the tall building on the front page. Anybody could tell that this jointly owned establishment may settle for tenants with stable incomes.
For someone who changed the BL archives with her plot-driven works, Y/N could provide the fees to rent a homey room on the clabber-plastered apartment complex.
Mai shifted on her seat and studied the brochure on the table with interest— crossing her legs and leaning her torso forward to get a full view of the given pamphlet. "The building does seem promising. You could even check out your works in the Manga Shops at the city." She remarked as her eyes skimmed through the brochure, taking note of the facilities and rooms for the future tenants.
"Right? I already checked the place out yesterday, and coincidentally, the studio office is close by," The H/C-haired female pushed back the tiny strands of baby hair tickling her forehead as it was annoying her smooth skin. "They even allow pets. The apartment buildings I visited mostly don't allow pets, and the others who do, they have weird-ass tenants whom I don't really wanna be neighbors with." She ended, scratching the back of her neck.
"Soooooo, that's the apartment you're planning to move in."
You nodded your head, "I prepared the papers and told my parents about it. Maybe you can help me move my things out?" You suggested to your friend as your leg overlapped with the other, biting into another piece of onigiri from the porcelain plate.
Tilting her head to the side, Mai let out a light scoff from the BL mangaka's proposition as she gestured her hand downwards. "I'm offended, Y/N! Of course, I'll help you." She expressed her whimsical disbelief through her words. "I thought we were best of friends." The young lady teased.
"After all those collab fan arts of the Akatsuki, why wouldn't we be at this point?" You joked; however, the shinobi anime reference wasn't technically a gag as you both had a history of fangirling over the smexy criminal organization— even if you both had a peculiar taste in men. "By the way, why did you choose this place? Isn't this sort of far away from your workplace?" You questioned the red-haired female, a bit curious on why she decided to meet up with you in this Onigiri Restaurant.
Mai's lips turned up into a smirk as she motioned her finger for you to move closer. "My assistants and I decided to eat here after a hard day's work. By the time we were all seated, our eyes got blessed when the restaurant's owner catered to our table!" She whispered with excitement dipped on her tongue.
"Oh boy, if you had seen him, you would've gotten the inspiration to make a character from his well-sculpted face."
You raised a brow and let out a snortle, "We went here because a hot owner caught your attention? I should've gone with you then." You played along and couldn't help but laugh at your friend's reason for dining out a distance away from her studio office.
Like middle schoolers, you both giggled as Mai continued her story of the dashing Onigiri restaurant owner with her witty play of words. You never had any interest in dating; however, you still bid no mind to your friend's fawning over pretty men who would unlikely pay attention to either of them.
"That owner you're talking about might not visit his restaurant, Mai."
"I know, silly! But I do wonder what that work of art does outside his work."
Tumblr media
Osamu is a very patient man. May it be through his responsibility of running an Onigiri business, or may it be just a simple waiting in line at the subway station of Tokyo, the male wouldn't lose his temper nor be frustrated over such trivial things.
But when his exhausted figure slugged inside the comforts of his home and found the living room all trashed with empty bottles of energy drinks and bags of chips, Osamu was finally at his breaking point.
"Atsumu, you mother-fucker... COME DOWNSTAIRS THIS INSTANT!" He burst out, calling out his twin brother's name as he began picking up the trashes scattered throughout his coffee table and his lawson couch. His ears caught the sound of loud footsteps thumping on the wooden-tiled floor as he could immediately tell that it was a certain someone who came down the stairs.
A bed of ruffled blonde hair popped out of the stairway as a certain setter casually jumps into the scene of the untidy crime, walking towards the other twin with open arms.
"Welcome home, Samu! Did your staff make a mistake in the newly-opened shop back at Shinjuku? You look a bit frustrated right now-"
Atsumu stopped himself once he noticed his twin brother standing over the mess he forgot to clean up. His arms dropped to the side while his chocolate eyes shifted over to Osamu's annoyed expression, "Okay. This time, I absolutely forgot to clean up." The male tried to explain himself.
The quiet one of the two shook his head in disapproval, sighing out and pinching the bridge of his nose to calm his fiery nerves. "I found this apartment, Tsumu. I think it's best for the both of us if you could finally get your own place." He stated, hearing the slight choke coming from his brother's throat.
"WHAT?! What made you think that this would be the best for the both of us, Samu?" Atsumu protested, his eyebrows furrowing together in confusion as to why his brother would suggest that sort of idea.
Osamu raised his hand and lifted three of his fingers to his twin's eye level. "First, you sometimes disrupt my sleep whenever you'd bring your flings at home," He stated and didn't bother to let the other speak their mind about the issue at hand as he continued his statement of reasons. "Second, you'd sometimes forget to do your lists of chores and often lie that you didn't do them because you were tired from training." He paused for a moment, thinking of a third reason until it clicked in the back of his mind.
"Lastly, you're a 23 professional athlete, who makes a lot of money than what I usually make, and yet, you're living with your twin brother."
Atsumu stared at Osamu as he crossed his arms, "So? You'll kick me out if I don't move out of your place?" He derided, his voice mostly holding a hint of teasing as he knew his brother wouldn't act so rashly over those reasons.
Oh, was the male so wrong.

do you have any headcanon about actors on the omegaverse?
you know, I think every now and then how it would work.
I once saw a comment from a writer where she said that TV would stereotype them a lot because we couldn't smell them to be sure of the dynamics and not everyone has the "look" of an alpha, beta or omega. How a beta could look like an alpha. I also thought about how sex or even romantic scenes would be recorded, with the question of mated or dynamic couples being courted, especially omegas. What if the alpha didn't allow it or something? and the smells on set? would the acting be more intense? at least in my head to have a good discussion about it
😚
I feel like we can safely assume I have headcanons about all parts of omegaverse by this point.
Cut because rambly.
I'm going to start with the general statement I have about cinema generally - that being that it hasn't always been as dominated by rich white guys(TM) and originally was more driven by minority groups and explored concepts of gender and sex a lot more freely than people think before things like the Hays Code came into effect. So in omegaverse it would be similar in origin with probably a lot of playing around with questioning of designation stereotypes/associations and more implications of 'taboo' designation relationships (a!male/a!male or o!female/o!female).
And with that acknowledgement stated I'm now going to be talking almost exclusively about modern cinema/acting culture.
About the stereotyping. I feel like that one really comes down to the talent of the writer/director. Bad (and even mediocre) writers probably fall back a lot of stereotypes to get the designations of characters across. Also a lot of telling not showing going on ("Oh it's our omega son's 16th birthday today, I hope he likes the present we got for him"). Good writers though would be able to get across a characters designation along with their other character traits (a good example of at least the second part is the Furiosa vs Max fight in Mad Max Fury Road - you learn a lot about all the characters in that scene with very few words, a good director would also be able to fit designation into that). So while yes stereotyping would likely be a bit of a problem I don't think it would be more so than our world.
I do however think type-casting would be a massive thing. Or I guess... designation casting. I do think in modern cinema actors would be expected to only play characters that match their designation. Other than for characters that have historically always been played by a different designation (normally coming from theatre eg musical adaptions). A lot of it to do with the celebrity of it and people not wanting to be attracted to a character only to find out they were played by a different-designation actor. Historically that was very different.
Romantic/sex scenes would be very similar to our world - a bit awkward for both actors but they get through. I don't think possessive mates would be that much of a problem as if you were an alpha that would have an issue with it you probably wouldn't end up dating an omega who was an actor (or vice-versa). Or the actor just wouldn't take roles that require romantic/sex scenes - there would be plenty that would.
Acting would probably be a profession where most people are on some level of scent-blockers. It's just one of those things which is accepted as part of the job (much like how there's a level of expectation that actors are fairly... groomed in their body hair). For some it's a necessary evil they have to do for their acting career for others it's just... what they'd probably do anyway.
I don't think it would be necessarily more intense. But I think some would act like it would be. To be fair some people will claim acting as a massive emotional and intense thing in our world (look at the 'playing the Joker drives you crazy' thing) while others are like "it's a job". So actors being like "playing this character really brought out my alpha side - even between filming I kept challenging the other alphas on set to fight to prove their wothiness of the omegas". Some are... more playing it up than others.
