YES, YES, YES, YES, FUCK YEAH, YES!!! FINISHED THE FINAL GAME AND THE TIMELINE IS FUCKED! DONT CARE! IM TAKING THE CANON AND MAKING PREWORKOUT WITH IT
Tumblr media
Wanna gush for a sec about my girls Setka and Brandi~
I like the idea of Set being Jak and Kiera's daughter in like, another dimension. Not the main one, like with Our Jak, lol, but a separate one.
It also kind of bugged me how Jak would go from different areas of the world where it was like super hot and then super cold and he was still wearing that same little tunic- so I gave her a Lurker mantle from her friend Gnimrach!
Shes got these gauntlets that act as grappling hooks and melee weapons and they help her to channel eco better! Im still working on their characters, the dynamic I'm going for is like Sam and Max freelance Goobers Police

you have inspired me . and i am indeed a child with figurines that i will absolutely show off to you even if you just nod and give a thumbs up at the end <33 my love language is pulling up a blackboard and sitting whoever im talking to down for The Talk and this will happen. you cannot refuse it <33333
(for real tho it took me months to also learn how to discern the links from each other AJSJSJAJ so yes to make it as simple as i can i will only deal with the canon 3D games . im listing them by order of their game release, but definitely not in the correct order of their place in the timeline(s). ily so so so much and im sorry in advance for the long infodump of an ask)
Ocarina of Time + Majora's Mask
Tumblr media Tumblr media
the original 3d little man <33 hes like . the only 3d (adult) without chainmail bc he lived in a forest full of immortal children for his entire childhood (we dont talk about his age in majoras mask bc its complicated but just trust me hes a literal manchild) so AJSJAJAJ i differentiate him by that and his pants being distinctly white. the entire franchise and lore did him SO dirty but thats not the point of this (frothing at the mouth to rant about it but at another time)
Wind Waker
Tumblr media
littlest of little men <33 hes the easiest link to distinguish from the others mainly bc of the art style, to the point that the fandom also calls him toon link. you can also tell ww link by the little swirly belt buckle thingy he has. also ALSO his tunic having a combo of dark + light green. literally forced the gods to choose him as his era's hero (he never held the hero's spirit in the first place) all bc his sister got kidnapped. absolute force to be reckoned with but still has voice cracks and Will Not Swear in front of his grandma in my hcs. all links are gremlins but this one literally sails with pirates so he has the background AHSHSHAHH
Twilight Princess
Tumblr media
I WANNA BE A COWBOY BABY
fr tho hes so <333 AUGH. can literally turn into the goodest of good boys (wolf link). hes the disney princess of links bc animals Cannot And Will Not Hate Him. differentiated by the chainmail and his pinchable cheeks in game <333333 (also one of the only links imo that is absolutely not compatible with their zelda bc midna is rIGHT THERE. once again not the ask for this but i have. thoughts and things about tp zelink and tp link in general)
Skyward Sword
Tumblr media
HES SO SOFT AUGH IM CRYING I WANT A PLUSHIE FRFR AJSJSJAJA but fr . absolute himbo and dumbass but vv much in love with his zelda <33 he has such a similar design with tp and its hard to be sure its him bc both tp and sksw link wear chainmail, but the art style of the game makes it so that the one who has the brighter and more pastel green is sksw link. his hair is also kinda diff and more soft looking, and hes also right handed <33
Breath of the Wild
Tumblr media
do i need to explain. im so sos sos ssoss s9 r9rbf mentally ill over this reincarnation specifically <33 i really hope that i ruined this character for you now with my ability to not shut up about him for more than one (1) week. distinguished by blue and gender and hair and literally just everything bc im crying nintendo really hit peak character design with him and if somebody were to ask me to give a ted talk on him i wouldnt even know where to start bc hes just so PERFECT and augh look ok his character is so complicated starting wi-
okay it’s currently 3:30 am i will read this when i wake up
okay good morning im putting on my glasses cracking my knuckles and reading this like a grandma reading the news
the first two and twilight princess is crazy who the hell needs a hat that long i wouldnt be able to resist i would yank that thing off his head and run away jack sparrow style
wind waker link is so damn small he using a needle or something for a sword like he's desperaux 😭 😭 also didnt know he had a sister always assumed he was only child bc..well idk he just seemed like it to me
i was aware of wolf link (bc of how much u like him :3) but i didnt actually know anything so again i went to the fandom wiki and read it he's so cute (and midna rides on his back they look so cute 😭 <33) i am putting him in a puppy carrier and taking him with me
yeah breath of the wild is the main link i know of like that is the representative of the links to me thats the guy i know ALSO HE'S 4'11 I AM JUST BARELY TALLER THAN THIS GUY well a win is a win when ur short
this was great to learn actually and just know that if i ever get around to writing my head (1968) essay i’m gonna do this to you too <3

Would back tracking au Emmet wear different clothes then ingo did. Ingos clothes are wrecked and ingos still attached to them. (Also him geting another nearly identical jacket made of the same impossible material would be sus)
Emmet gets more traditional pearl clan outfits, that he dyes black because hes supposed to be ingo, and no one bats an eye because that jacket was on its last legs.
People congratulate him for finally getting rid of that old wreck of a coat. I hope Ingo has more than one pearl clan tunic tbh. Though Emmet might dress full local. Since unlike Ingo he doesnt need to warn his uniform to remember. He knows why he likes it so much so hes gonna fold it up very neatly and try to blend in more. Which to Irida (and surprisingly Melli) is very suspicious behaviour. No one else sees a problem with it though.
I would love for him to dye it black and people are actually more confused by this because Ingo actually didnt do that xD like he just wore his work pants so Emmet is doing what would fool modern people by wearing all black because before Ingo left its all he wore (mans goth) but Warden Ingo just put the pearl clan tunic on like it was a good idea with those pants.
As for the jacket. Emmet just doesnt wear it. I think when he first started pretending to be Ingo he though about wearing Ingos clothing but honestly they probably stunk and i dont think Emmet would wanna wear them xD plus seeing Ingos jacket he was panicking a little about how wrecked it had been so he mad a little joke about it. “Well this surely is trash” to which Ingo panicked rushing to snatch it from Emmet to make sure it didnt actually get tossed out. Emmet is very concerned for that behaviour. It isnt until they figure out how to communicate does he learn that the jacket and hat was Ingos only comfort from home.

OK NEURODIVERGENT GAANG TIME BC I WANNA
these hcs are kinda halfway set in a modern au bc thats my context for this ! (gonna split it up so its not as long bc i drafted the original and it was LONG) water tribe siblings first !!!
Sokka
adhd/autism king 😌
Tumblr media
[ID: a screenshot of Sokka standing on a raised stone platform with a map of the Fire nation hanging behind him. He’s holding his arms stiffly by his side with a wide-eyed look on his face, brows raised as he has his mouth open, saying something. End ID.]
- schedules to survive, he likes to know what hes getting into and if you try to change plans on him without warning he’ll be very resistant
- smart kid who doesnt study, oh he tries, oh boy does he try, he ends up reading the same sentence over and over until he gets distracted by drawing something, working on the blueprint for his latest invention, or with researching something completely unrelated to what he’s mean to be studying. then he tosses and turns all night because he’s stressed by not having studied, but when he actually takes the test he makes a 105, despite there not even being a bonus question, he just answered the essay question so well the teacher gave him an extra 5 points
- special interests?? we got em!!! classic weaponry (think swords, boomerangs, but also, like canons and catapults and shit) engineering/physics, art/drawing, strategy games. he tends to hyperfocus within his special interests, so like for a week he was hellbent on building his own full sized trebuchet, much to the dismay of Gran Gran who just wanted to grow her tomatoes without them being crushed by said full size trebuchet
- (also he plays all types of games probably, but he def plays those ones where you take over the world, like the ones online and azula also plays them too and they end up being rivals, while not actually knowing who the other is outside of their usernames)
- he also talks a lot in his classes/is like the ‘class clown’ and ppl think this is him not focusing but engaging this way actually helps him focus way more than sitting silently, a lot of teachers dont understand it but the ones who do are actually paying attention and realize that he’s generally talking/joking about their current topic
- some observations (this shit is all canon babey!!!) - sokka is great at being a leader and communicating in groups he’s in but he really really struggles in front of crowds, one-on-one and sokka can talk well, joke and stuff but as soon as he’s separate from other people and everyone is just listening he clams up (solar eclipse pt 1). he also loves to joke and make people laugh, and a lot of the time he misinterprets stuff because he’s autistic but he also will realize this and do it anyway because he thinks it’s funny and he likes laughing with his friends (idk if this happens in canon but i do this and sokka does too bc i said so :^). He also takes up the protector/comforting role but despite his best intentions he can sometimes say insensitive stuff and not even realize what he’s done to upset people (when he happily told aang ‘the whole world thinks your dead!’) works best when he feels needed, if he feels unnecessary or like something doesnt matter he struggles to complete it (i feel like the beginning of sokka’s master rlly demonstrates what i mean here), and this goes both ways, he will put too much value into certain things that he cares about and can get his priorities mixed if he’s focused too much on what he believes matters more than what might be most pressing (zuko destroyed his suki sculpture, oh right bc he was attacking aang)
Katara
she also has adhd/autism, (so do both Hakoda and Kya 💙)
Tumblr media
[ID: a screenshot of Katara, Hakoda, Sokka, and Bato. Hakoda has his hand on Katara’s shoulder as they both look at Bato who is saying something, she has curious look on her face with her brows raised, while Hakoda looks exasperated. Sokka beside him his also looking curiously up at Bato, with one brow raised and the other furrowed. Bato has a neutral expression on his face as he speaks. End ID.]
- palms sweaty thoughts spaghetti, she tries to be practical bc she thinks someone needs to be but really her brain is like a runaway train, she sees something that needs doing and is like, guess ill do that now! and drops whatever she was doing first. she can get very anxious because of this because all the thing that need doing start to pile up because theyre all in her brain at once. that and as much as she tries to be practical she’s very impulsive, getting help from other people really helps alleviate this stuff
- interacting w ppl, when she was only part of her own smaller community she had a lot less toll on her, bc she knew everyone and was used to them, as she meets more people she gets really frustrated with how many people seem to refuse to say what they really mean. Katara is very straightforward herself and she says what she means, so even tho she gets more and more perceptive when interacting with new people, she resents how much she has to work just to decipher what people really mean half the time.
- caring for ppl, with people she cares about communicating is much easier bc she knows them, so she’s very open about her feelings around these people, and she can be hyper empathetic at times, but then sometimes she will say SUPER insensitive stuff off the cuff because she’s just very impulsive and she might regret it after the fact but she really struggles with apologizing because being wrong makes her feel like ppl are going to reject her
- perceptions, she knows what’s expected of her by the world, but she really rejects the idea that she has to stay in her role. still, she has internalized a lot of these expectations and tries to perform them, even when she sometimes struggles. beyond herself, she’s very certain about what she knows is wrong and has a strong moral code, she sees something wrong and she wants to fix it.
- she’s awful in school, not because she’s not smart, but she’s smart in ways that society does not appreciate. she doesnt care at all about all the worksheets and math she’s never gonna use, and all the history that got distorted, she’s much better at learning stuff on her own and she will go on deep dives of subjects she cares about and is super knowledgeable abt them.
also:
Tumblr media
[ID: A cropped screenshot of Sokka with his arms extended outwards, palms flat as he gestures. He has a slight grin on his face with his mouth open to speak, eyebrows raised and looking at the viewer calmly. He’s wearing his usual blue tunic with the Earth Rumble XI belt along with his earth kingdom bag hanging across his chest. The text on the image says, “This post made by ADHD Sokka gang. End ID.]
Tumblr media
[ID: a cropped screenshot of Hakoda, he has a serious expression on his face as he looks ahead. The text on the post reads, “This post made by ADHD Hakoda gang.” End ID.]
from this post (part of what inspired me to write these out) @meteor-sword​ now just katara needs one 😄

3, 5, 14, 32, and 42 for Thurwen, 9, 12, 25, 44, and 79 for Espira, and 14, 79, 18, and 70 for Valkya? :)
LETS GOOOOOO
Thurwen!!
3. How do they dress?
She wears her warden armor most of the time, maybe not all the heavy plate but she likes to have the weight of it on her. She finds it comforting plus it lets ppl know not to fuck with her. When she's not wearing a warden insignia ppl still mistake her for a servant sometimes and that doesn't end well for anybody :/ When she's not wearing any armor or insignia at all she dresses pretty plainly- maybe a tan tunic with cropped sleeves to show off her arms and brown laced breeches with a pocketed belt loosely slung over it. No jewelry except the warden's oath amulet and maybe some sharp rings that both show her station and give an extra bite when she punches someone in the face.
5. How big is their family?
On the small side? For a long time it was only her, her dad and her cousins Soris and shianni. Sometimes but not often met with her aunts and uncles but travel is expensive from alienage to alienage so only for very important events like funerals or weddings. Now that she can afford to pay for travel she meets with them more often and pays for their travel too- she's met a lot more family and has made it a point to get them all together more often. And with Soris married and having kids soon it's especially important to her to stay in the picture.
14. How do they react to someone dying?
She's definitely more on the stoic side of things- you'll get no wailing or weeping from her but she will cry if she knew them well, as silently as shes able. Plays more the role of comforter for other people reacting to the death, will postpone her own reaction until she's alone. If it's someone she really cares about it will be more like she's choking on her tears and will excuse herself to scream into her hand, bite her arms and punch trees and headbutt the wall until it passes and she's left on the ground bleeding.
32. When faced with a difficult decision do they get stronger or break?
I wouldn't say she gets stronger but she definitely doesn't break. She's had to make a lot of difficult decisions in her life and she's never backed down from it or refused responsibility for anything. Probably takes too much responsibility for things and makes difficult decisions for others when they're unable, then deals with the consequences herself.
Espira!!
9. Why is their name, their name?
She was named after her great aunt on her dad's side who died defending their home during wartimes
12. How do they cope with struggles?
More likely to turn inward and spend more time alone, kind of unintentionally secludes herself. Prone to overthinking. Once shes become aware of this shes more likely to go to others for advice, people she knows and trusts. When shes feeling really unsure will hike up to the throat of the world and have a chat with Paarthenaux, who she considers like a grandpa.
25. If they were given the task to prank someone, who would it be, what would they do, and would the prank work?
Ooooh she would definitely prank her little brother Riley. She needs some help setting it up, though. Years of his prankster antics have to be repaid in full. Shed want to do something really elaborate and multi staged, something that ends with him covered in chicken feathers and dangling upside down.
44. How do they speak? Examples - Are they soft spoken, hot heated, vulgar
She speaks fairly quietly but it has the kind of effect that makes people quiet down and want to lean in to hear more of it. Soft spoken and puts a lot of care into her words. Kind of has a.. Dragony deep aspect to it? Kind of the undercurrent of a rumble when she gets angry, like a thunderstorm held underneath it. Idk how to explain it but she speaks quietly because her voice is very unique- she is the dragon born, and you really dont wanna hear her shouting.
79. Is there someone in their life that they care about more than themselves?
She cares about everyone because that's who she is, but at the top of that list are Serana and the kids and Riley. She'd do anything for them.
Valkya!!
14. How do they react to someone dying?
She feels…. Something?? It really varies on the time and who it is. Over so many years shes seen more death than any of my other ocs and with that comes a certain amount of separation. Used to be a lot more empathetic but shes become so detached from the very idea of death shes just kind of like “oh hot girl bummer :/” gsdgseh. Valkya now is a very different person from freshly 30 year old valkya before the whole immortal thing. At her worst when shes in a totally drugged up state and cares about nothing besides pleasure she treats it like a game and has no pity or real care about mortals who drop like flies. In her better states shes more respectful about it and is capable of feeling deeply for those the deceased leave behind. It depends on how shes doing!
79. Is there someone in their life that they care about more than themselves?
Valkya is both obsessed with herself and hates herself, so yes and no. She used to care about everyone deeply way more than herself, but watching everyone she cared about die? Seeing that no matter what she does everyone dies and theres nothing she can do? She tries not to care about people anymore, just Dem and Hakon. Shed give herself up back to Coldharbour if it meant they would be okay.
18. What flaws do they have?
Oh lord, let's go. Self obsessed. Martyr complex. Loud, obnoxious. Capable of great apathy and cruelty. Hero complex. Starts fights for entertainment. Brash. Loudmouthed braggart. Cocky, arrogant, hedonistic, immature, lewd, inserts herself wildly into other peoples business, gossip, nosey, etc.
70. Do they like themselves?
Complex question, yes and no. She used to like herself fine, but over the years it's evolved into both an intense love for herself and an intense hate which coexist unhealthily. Both thinks shes the best in the entire world and the worst to ever exist. Will never admit to hating herself unless shes entirely wasted though, otherwise its all only the self adoration she exaggerates to cover her insecurities.

Greetings everyone! So uhm. its been a while since my last liveblog post. there have been some circumstances that made me really not wanna read, but now they have passed and I have risen from the ashes like a glorious phoenix and I can resume my divine mission of complaining about this mediocre-at-best book series to an audience of as many as 60 people if you can believe it. Also we're back to the style of post where I just jot down all my thoughts bullet-point style because my life is in shambles
Anyway, last time we had a chapter where literally nothing happened except for Lucien showing up at the very end, so lets see what he does in this chapter 47
I still cant believe its been only two months since Feyre started permanently living at the night court and forgiving Rhysand for torturing her, its taken me longer to forgive people at my school who mildly annoyed me. Also wait, Feyre was UTM for three months, shes spent more time consecutively being tortured by Rhysand than consecutively having a good time with him wth
Feyre stop fuckin jacking the bat boys off challenge (impossible!!)
Ive seen this part where Feyre talks about the bat boys being so much stronger than Lucien in english where shes like "Lucien may have trained to be a warrior, but Cassian, Azriel and Rhys were Warriors" like oh fuck, we gotta get out of here!! those guys are Proper Nouns!! But in the german version, this line is just "Lucien may have trained to become a warrior, but Cassian, Azriel and Rhysand were warriors" because nouns are always capitalized in german and not just when theyre Super Epic and Cool so you cant do that thing that english books do with proper nouns, and Idk i think thats pretty interesting
Something about Feyre being all like "theyre hunting me, its like Im their prey" really pisses me off, I think its because it could be cool and thematically relevant but instead its just kindof nothing
Speaking of which, Lucien coming ip to her and saying "We've been hunting for you" is so forced, it reminds me of how Tamlin would say these weird objectifying things to Feyre alllll the way at the start of ACOMAF even though hes never said shit like that before, except this is way worse because who on earth would say it like that?? hello?? If you were looking for someone who went missing, you'd say like, we've been searching for you or we've been looking for you, not we've been hunting for you thats just insane
HUH?? which high lord gave her the ability to slow down time??? Thats so overpowered and I dont remember anyone ever talking about it
Oh, of course they cant just be afraid of Feyre, they have to be afraid of Rhysand who just showed up
Did this motherfucker really take the time to change his outfit just make his dramatic entrance just a little more dramatic? Honestly, if it was any other guy I would think thats so iconic, but because its Rhysand just wearing his fucking black tunic again I just want him to explode
"Has your mother, the Lady of the Autumn Court, not taught you that you should listen to a lady?" why he have to say that Lucien's mom is the Lady of the Autumn Court thats so awkward. Also yeah, it sounds more awkward translated from german to english because they use both 'Lady' and 'Dame' (which is german for lady) in the same sentence, but its still just a very bad line
This is actually kind of interesting because Im guessing Lucien called Rhys a dirty son of a bitch in the original and then he growled because its like, oh Lucien insulted his lovely mother that he loves soooo much, but its been translated here as 'Hurensohn' (lit. 'whore's son') so it gains this additional layer where Lucien is not just insulting his mom also using a word that's like a trigger for him which makes it much more impactful imo. good job, Ms. Ernst
The fact that Feyre is getting on Lucien's case for siding with Gamlin over her is mighty ironic when you consider whats gonna happen in acosf, but also Lucien right now and the IC in acosf are making the same choice of listening to their close friend of several centuries over his gf that theyve known for like a year. Like, yeah, obviously its super shitty in both cases but I do get why they did it. And thats not even factoring in the political power Tamlin and Rhys have over their friends, like, it really doesnt matter if you "dont enforce rank" because youre the super special ones who were literally chosen by god to rule, you have an inherent authority over the people around you
This is all so frustrating because I do sympathize with Feyre for feeling abandoned by Lucien because that is essentially what he did, but I really dont like how hes portrayed as being unambigiously in the wrong for caring more about politics or himself than Feyre when its like, first of all, politics impact sooooo many people of course making sure that the SC at leats looks stable from the outside is more important than Feyre's mental health, and second of all, Feyre also pretty much only cares about herself. Which is her right btw, she has been very traumatized, she should be prioritizing herself for a while now, i just dont like the way the narrative frames this whole thing
Honestly, Feyre's kinda slaying rn. Her with her big spooky bat wings being all like "when youve been trapped in the darkness for so long it becomes your best friend" is kinda cool, idc
Okay, nevermind, she slayed for exactly one line and then she was nearly choking on Tamlin's name "because of what Rhysand did to him" girlie that was centuries ago why are you making this about him when he was being abusive two months ago* *i dont think he was actually being abuse but thats the framing of the narrative so im just going with it
I would usually properly translate this line but my brain isnt up to it at the moment, but its onpage 528 and I think you'll know which one I mean if you look at it, but I dont really understand Feyre being like "if I had stayed at the spring court and just given myself over to my own misery, I wouldve learned to take pleasure in other people's pain" Is it trying to justify Feyre being needlessly cruel by implying that it was inevitable and that her UTM trauma would've made her become like this no matter what? First of all, you cant say that for sure though and second of all, wowweweee Sarah Janett Maas knows soooooo much about mental health, she should become a psychiatrist, no degree necessary
"You are dead. You and your entire damned court." ohhhhhh so THATS why they call him death incarnate. Someone bring him back to life so no one ever calls him that again
??? Feyre was talking about how weird she felt about her lack of feeling when she was speaking to Lucien just now, but she was thinking about feeling guilty for desjring Rhysand?? what. Am i just being stupid rn or are those things no in any way related
man this chapter was exhausting

So I wanna throw my hat into the BotW2 theory bin.
We've got sky islands now, we can see that clearly. When else has there been skylands in Zelda? Skyward Sword, which takes place in the oldest (at the moment) point in the timeline, before Hyrule was ever Hyrule. Additionally, we know that Zelda games love their light/dark world mechanics.
We also saw Link in two incredibly distinct outfits, and I dont think that's just to show off "look Link can wear clothes again still!" If that were the case, I think they'd have showed off a small handful of different outfits. No, instead we got his normal blue tunic look, and this more wild, unkempt look while up in the sky. And they were I credibly consistent with that. I've seen some theorizing that Sky Link might be Zelda, and like. Yeah, very possible. But also not what I'm here to debate. Sky Link's clothes look very old and not quite as refined as his normal clothes.
And one more detail. That like... water rising phase shifting thing we saw towards the end of the gameplay. I was trying to think of ways that could be implemented smoothly into the kind of game BotW is, and I was drawing up blanks. You'd need to painfully designate every surface with some indicator for "you can phase shift through this", ala KH3 flowmotion (I love you bb but elegant you are not). So, it clicked for me. What if it ISN'T a totally free gameplay power like the other runes. Its a transitional animation, rewinding time and yourself to place yourself in Hyrule's most distant past back up in the sky.
tl;dr - the sky islands are the single most ancient point in Hyrule's timeline and its going on serve as a "dark world" alt map for you to explore using that time reverse water droplet phase shift rune.

tips on achieving an androgynous look for someone w a male body? i really want to try androgyny as it sounds more comfortable to me but i’m not sure how to make it happen, i’m not that great at fashion and aesthetics and things
well it depends heavily on what kind of aesthetic youre looking for!! if youre the kind of person who wants makeup, painted nails, long hair, jewelry, or any combination of these things thats a great way to start! there are lots of makeup tutorials on the internet if thats something youre interested in, but i also want to make sure i make it clear that you dont HAVE to wear makeup (or do ANY of the things i mentioned) to be androgynous. for example, i personally go for a more masc-leaning androgynous aesthetic so i wear clothes that would be considered mens clothes and i have short hair, but i wear lots of dangly earrings and stuff, and sometimes eyeliner or flowy scarves and stuff.
clothes-wise, if youre interested in tighter clothes you could try out slim-fit pants or even skinny jeans if you dont wanna go full skirts and dresses with it. pants like that could be easier or harder to find depending on your size and height, if youre not that tall you could try some pants from the womens section, if youre taller you might have to try to find some slim-fit pants in the mens section (or just wear shorts from the womens section if its warm enough and youre comfortable with showing your legs).
if youre more into looser clothing i personally think the loose and lowy aesthetic is a great one. think lots of sheer scarves, loose linen or silk shirts or tunics (belted or unbelted), flowy pants, hippie skirts, etc.
if money is an issue for you i buy all my clothes at goodwill or at target if i have the money for something new (target clothes are a lil more expensive than goodwill or, like, walmart, but youre more likely to find things that are currently in fashion if thats something you care about, and they have a good size variety). kohls is also worth checking out, a lot of the stuff there is more expensive but they also have a lot of sales and often a large clearance rack. my favorite pair of jeans wouldve been at least $60 new but i found then for $12 on the kohls clearance rack.
and this right here is the most important part: dont be afraid to try things on!! especially when youre trying to find a new aesthetic, literally just walk through the aisles and grab anything vaguely within your size range that you think you might like. load 30 fucking items into your cart and have to take 3 trips into the changing room to try them all on, no one will give a shit. even if theyre things outside of your price range, try them on to get an idea of what you like and what looks good on you, and then you can look for more things like that item that might be more affordable (e.g. you see a $35 peasant shirt and you dont wanna/cant spend that much on a shirt, but you try it on and like how it looks. now you know to look for more peasant shirts!)
-mod basil
p.s. i trust that you know what terms youre comfortable with referring to yourself, but i do discourage the use of phrases like “male body” and things like that. theres no such thing as a male body or a female body, theyre just bodies.

huntoxhunto
we watched 2 whole more eps but we’re abt to vacay so i better recap this biz now before i forget
ok so we finished the zoldyck arc and uhhhh gotta say we werent expecting like any of that to happen lol 
ok ill back up so we start w/killuas mom (i dont think we ever heard her name) confronting gon & co....and canary (i lov her) is not dead which i assumed but thank goodness. 
zoldyck mom was totally using nen. also she is off her rocker gotta say. tho that visor is super cool, albeit confusing - is it connected to a bunch of security cameras or something? how does she see all that shit? 
granpa is wild. his tunic thing that says ‘one kill a day’ or w/e is kinda hilarious, it reminds me of the ‘apple a day keeps the dr away’ saying...a murder a day keeps the....idk away????
i love that killua makes it abundantly clear that he couldve like escaped at any time lol. also tho why didnt he just escape....baby boy just leave 
killua getting all serious and threatening milluki if he messes with gon....my boys got it BAD 
this family has so many communication issues hvbjadkfbjaskdfj nobody is on the same page at all 
the butler guy continued to remind me of kuro one piece this whole time...i was waiting for him to bust out the ridiculous cat claws
oh my GOD wait the flashbacks of EVEN BABIER KILLUA were so precious ;_; he was soooo tiny and cute oh my god. so precious. and canary was also so tiny and cute 
baby killua really just wanted a friend :(((( and canary wanted to be friends w/him but knew that mom zoldyck would kill her if she overstepped like that :( thats so tragic mannnn
also canary is so cool man. her beating up all those guys was epic
ok that whole scene with killua and his dad was like, such a rollercoaster lmao
like....it was all over the place for me...first of all the ambiance was wack, the room lighting was weird and im p sure killuas seat was an electric chair??? and the dad was in a coffin thing..???? like....interesting aesthetic choices all over the place here 
also i see now where killua got his hair and also his catboy tendencies. the zoldyck catboy genes seem to trace back to zoldyck dad, who has kinda scary cat eyes 
also im guessing that the dad is the blood zoldyck and the mom is the one who married in. they sure seem to put a lot of emphasis on like, family legacy or w/e, but the two parents certainty go abt it in different ways 
the whole convo b/w killua and his dad was wild, it totally didnt go where i was expecting it to. his dad was weirdly chill while also being super intense? 
killua happily telling stories abt gon was so sweet....baby boy baby 
and his dad telling him ‘never betray your friends’ was rlly interesting...i wonder what his reasons were for saying that 
cause then he tells killua he can leave, and killua does, but then dad zoldyck tells mom zoldyck (i rlly need to find out their names) that he thinks killua will come back on his own time....inch resting 
i wonder if dad zoldyck made killua promise that bc he was trying to set killua up for failure - as in, he tells killua to never betray his friends, thinking that killua inevitably will & be distraught abt it, and then turn back to the zoldyck family when this happens. idk
also its interesting to me that zoldyck dad wants killua to lead the family someday. like, illumi is right there, hes the oldest and clearly dedicated to being an evil assassin, and he seems p good at it...i wonder why killua is the favorite....the grandpa (i think) did say that killua is Special(tm) which...yes he is a special baby boy i love him. i wanna see more zoldyck family flashbacks/interactions so we can see what led them to this point 
oh lord that reminds me of illumi briefly appearing in the killua flashback and hes just like, suddenly there, wearing some gay ass sweater....like ok dude did you just come back from the Evil Assassin Library or st?????
that reminds me too, ruth tells me that apparently in the manga illumi and hisoka got married or something???? to which i say, thats fucking wild, but also it makes sense, those two are both horrible and disgusting and they absolutely deserve each other hbvajvhsdfjbak peak evil nasty gay rep, i love it. i cant wait to see whatever the fuck the context to that is bc, thats fucking wild
ok back to the plot so like its so wild to me how smoothly everything went hvubsjduhfbjsh like....killuas dad was rlly like ok u can leave and killua just went to the butler house and then canary woke up and was like ok gon & crew lets go to the butler house to see killua, fuck the rules, (and she didnt even get killed for ‘disobedience’ or w/e, or more likely - in most big shounen, she wouldve been attacked by the other evil butlers and gon wouldve had to fight them)
killua Rlly was like fuck this place im leaving my boyfriend and his parents are here to pick me up [puts on gayest outfit he owns and skateboards away] hvbhsjdfbjdkf
i love killuas weird gay preteen fashion so far and i cant wait to see more 
killua telling the butler guy to let him know as SOON as gon gets there cause he wants to see him AS SOON AS HE CAN ;_; bro they r....in love 
of course the butler is trickey tho lmao, any other shounen this wouldve turned into an 8 ep long fight scene sequence where gon has to fight the butlers in order to see killua 
and the of course gon is the same way, gon is like i need to see killua RIGHT NOW take me to him!!! ohhh my god babies
the whole coin game was wild, it was funny when the other butlers got involved too lmao 
when gon was like ‘hey leorio can i see your knife’ i was like OH NO I DONT LIKE WHERE THIS IS GOING. and i was right bc OWWWWW baby boy oh my god!!!! but that seems to have solved it even tho thats NOT how swelling works at ALL- 
anyways gon is a cute smart good boy and i also find it funny how killua eventually gets impatient and just busts in on this whole dramatic situation (and the tension immediately deescalates as a result lmao) 
tangent but god its so funny seeing all these butler guys deferring to killua, an actual 12 yr old....i wanna see the hilarious and hijink-filled results of killua being raised as a rich spoiled assassin prince. thats a lethal combo thats gotta result in some wildly skewed perceptions on how things work, especially paired with gon ‘probably eats dirt for fun and sleeps in trees’ freecess 
godddd gon and killuas lil reunion is SOOO cute they were so happy to see each other ;_; bro they are SO cuteeeee augh. two tiny babies
killua being like oh hi also uh kurapika andddd [looks at smudged writing on hand] lorpo 
hvhhbajfbs dont do my man leorio like that killua hes a hardworking father 
the fact that they just like. LEAVE...thats so wild. i cant believe how little fighting this arc had. this all wrapped up SO much faster than i could have ever anticipated lmao 
where the heck was alluka!? i assumed she’d show up here but uhhhh guess not......in the silhouette shot of all the zoldycks she and killua were holding hands ;_; my fucking uwus bro 
we also didnt see the grandma or great grandpa so im guessing theyll appear later 
gon being like fuck it im not using my hunters license til i punch hisoka in the fucking face hvbhahsfbjsk thats hilarious 
also a convenient way to let him have his hunters license but not utilize it til later in the story...its so early for him to have achieved that big chunk of his goal, which just shows that hxh is Not your typical shounen and isnt gonna just be centered around gons quest to become a hunter 
so we finally found out what hisoka said to kurapika....just as i thought, it was st to do w/the phantom troupe. so theres a handy setup for the yorknew city arc later. bam 
hisoka just being like ‘hey meet me in this (presumably) very large city on this date. no i will not tell you where in the city to meet me. bye seeya there’ 
tbf hisoka is very hard to miss 
god when they arrive and kurapika is just like ok well we got killua so im out lol bye everyone....bro hvbjkhgbfjhdksfhjk that felt so abrupt 
and then leorio was like oh yeah same i gotta go study time to take the fantasy MCAT or w/e
AND THEY BOTH LEFT....now gon and killua r chilling but im like oh my god no leorio kurapika come back, we need some (questionable) adult supervision over here 
and like immediately killua is like ok gon do you have money. and of Course gon doesnt have money. so killua is like well you need money and you need to train so you can deck hisoka, so lets go to a fantasy version of an underground fighting ring! this is why kurapika and leorio needed to stay 
tho they probably wouldve just gone along with it 
they did all promise to meet in yorknew city, but thats apparently like 6 months away. are gon and killua rlly gonna spend 6 months at heavens arena
the part where killua draws the diagram demonstrating how much of a n00b gon is....hvbajdkhfbhajskf
AND THEN when he drew himself into the diagram and was like :3c wow im so modest HBJHSKHDFHBJS that was so funny
it was like that post thats like ‘you can tell when a cats pupils change and they just shift into Silly Mode’ thats what killua looked like...catboy
so thats basically it i think, gon and killua are heading to heavens arena to join fight club or whatever. tournament arc time! 
PREDICTION CORNER: 
i doubt this is the last weve seen of the zoldyck family. i mean we havent even met 3 of them, and we barely saw the ones we did meet...idk when theyll come back but i suspect theyll be making some big money moves later on and fucking shit up somehow 
i think maybe illumi or someone will like, spy on killua sometimes to keep track of him. or theyll track him by other means
ill use the prediction corner to reflect on incorrect predictions so heres a few. i rlly thot killua was gonna be more edgy than he is but hes rlly just a good boy huh. like hes a gay baby assassin catboy but hes so cute and good too. he just wants to live his life and hang out with his tiny bf like... omg :’) 
also i thot hisoka held a totally different narrative role lbvahkfjhjjaksfl i thot he was like main villain guy....hes more like an annoying creepy clown dude who (probably) shows up a lot to bother the main cast. we’ll see, but thats what i think of him now
like i thought hisoka would be like p1 dio, where hed be/quickly become a powerful antagonist who would amass a bunch of followers/minions (when actually the only person he seems to hang out w/is illumi, and theyre more like equals than an evil guy/minion dynamic)...or like i thought hisoka would be very well known as a scary evil guy but nope he was just another participant in the hunter exam, albeit a weird freaky one whose rancid vibes everyone seemed to pick up on 
anyways actual predictions, i think hisoka is gonna be at heavens arena, which would be super funny. gon is like im gonna train to beat hisoka and he shows up to do that and hisokas just there like >;) hey
i think if i had to guess, the zoldycks will show up again (in a plot important way) at the end of the yorknew arc/before the greed island arc. i know basically nothing abt any of the arcs but i do know the order they go in so theres that
i do think illumi will show up earlier than the other zoldycks tho, since he seems to be out doing his own thing more than the rest. also we still really havent resolved the whole mind control thing that im still convinced of 
i think nen will finally be introduced/alluded to heavily in this arc...or like, characters will use nen and gon will be like whoa whats that 
i think killua knows what nen is...maybe? it would make sense since im sure all the zoldycks can use it (at least, we saw mom zoldyck use it, probably)
can killua use nen already? that would be pretty funny. i dont think so tho. maybe u learn nen at a certain age. i have no idea what nen is 
also isnt gons nen power the power to like, turn into a really buff version of himself or something. how the fuck does that work 
ok enough nonsense its bedtime zzzzz

Anyone have outfit coords or ideas for historically based and inspired GNC or gender neutral viking clothing? I'm adverse to skirts/dresses but I also prefer tight fitting pants and longer shirts/tunics and I dont like the normal baggy pants.
Also viking/old norse themed strega like psychara/manic moth and Mai Magi wear is appreciated too.
(Asking because I finally applied in for Clergy training with The Asatru Community inc and wanna think ahead to what my festival and symbel/bløt attire would be, and because wedding ideas for when I do actually get married)

Will the Bell Ring?  Pt. 2
Part 1
 (Erik Killmonger x Black!OC)
Word Count: 4.3k
Tumblr media
T’Challa has been in town for a few weeks now, no date determined for when he would return to Wakanda, so his time spent in the States mostly meant working at the outreach center, being a liason for international affairs from time to time, and also dating begrudgingly.  It is Erik’s doing to try and get T’Challa out there on the prowl again since Nakia seemed not at all pressed to stand by for him.  
Even though the outreach center in Oakland is an assignment T’Challa bestowed upon her to satiate her need to help others on Wakanda’s behalf, she found a way to not have to stay in one place, as she habitually tended to do.   Instead of doing the grunt work, Nakia would take trips to try and spread the word of their goals to other communities to grow their cause exponentially.
Erik was tired of seeing T’Challa mope and wear himself out physically and emotionally, so one night he got him out of the house.  Pulling up to T’Challa’s place, Erik honks to let him know he has arrived.  
After a few minutes, T’Challa steps out in a brown tunic, pants and sandals trotting to Erik’s car.
“Aye, whoa, hey!  The hell you got on man?”  Erik leans over talking out of the passenger window.  
T’Challa tries the door but it’s locked.  “N’Jadaka, I am in my clothes.  These cost more than your mortgage payments.”  He tries the door again.  “Unlock the door!”
Erik shakes his head.  “Nah, bump that.  You ain’t sittin yo tacky ass in my ride til you change, bruh.  I thought you asked for Shuri’s fashion advice before leaving the house man.”
T’Challa bends down, sticking his hand in to search for the unlock button.  “You are being ridiculous…”
Erik pushes on the window button on his side watching the window roll up as T’Challa quickly brings his arm out on the safe side.
“N’Jadaka!”  T’Challa shouts pounding on the window.
“Aye!  Your genetically enhanced ass better not bust my window cuz I know you good for a replacement.  Change. Your. Clothes.  If you tryna get any play tonight, you better go on back.”
T’Challa spins on his heels back towards his place as Erik pulls out his phone.  Work is still hounding him about a presentation he is to give on a new model for the blackbox recording device in Boeing aircrafts.  It’s in a couple of days and he still has a lot to finish before going in front of all of those white folk to back it.  A text from Kimara pops up on his phone.
Hey, how long are you going to be out for?  
Erik checks the time and texts back.  I dont know.  Shit dont start poppin off tile 12:30 sooo…
Erik, you have your appointment in the morning, remember?
Erik had not remember, thank God for Kimara’s nagging.  Oh babe, of course.  I won’t be out past 2, 3 at the latest.  
I swear if I have to roll your ass out of the bed, so help me.
Chill out!  I’m grown, I can wake myself up just fine.  My six figures speak for themself.
Erik puts the phone down gripping the steering wheel with slight aggravation.  Kimara has been getting extra cranky lately, which was usually a sign of the time of the month, but now it’s just the stress of trying to conceive.  Erik looks back at his phone, seeing that the message was read, but no reply.  Shit, he thought.  That’s not good.   No good night, see you later then, ok love you?  She’s pissed but Erik will make it up to her in the morning.  He could make it up to her when he gets home, but he gotta save that for the doctor’s appointment.
Erik honks his horn again over and over, keeping it pressed for five second intervals.
T’Challa swings his front door open waving at Erik to cease his incessant honking, locking the door behind himself.  Erik looks over the ensemble of choice: black slacks with a white shirt tucked in, olive green military style jacket, some all white Adidas on his feet.
Erik sits up as he unlocks the door for T’Challa to get in.  “Are you done wasting my time?”  
T’Challa looks at Erik.  “What do you mean?  You demanded I change.”
“And I oughta make you change again with them whack Adidas on, but I’ll let it go for time.  I can’t be out all night.”  Erik says pulling out onto the street.
“Why would we go out if you have obligations in the morning.  You didn’t mention that.”
“Well, I kinda forgot about it cuz.  Kimara just reminded me while you were changing.”
“Oh, and how are things between the two of you now?”  T’Challa asks.
Erik sighs, turning a corner.  “We good, definitely.  Just hittin a rough patch right now.  You know we tryna have a baby and shit.”
“Uh-huh.”  T’Challa says, scrolling through his phone.
“So like, we been tryin for a while and that ain’t been easy on her.  She stay thinkin she broken and shit but the pussy ain’t broke, trust.”
T’Challa looks up from his screen.  “You know that...it’s more than that to making a baby, right?”
Erik kisses his teeth.  “Nigga, I know, damn.  I’m just sayin, she ain’t had no issues.  She already had herself checked out, the tubes and utilities is all in workin order.”
“Her uterus?”  T’Challa asks in confusion.
Erik stops hard at a stop sign.  “Can I tell my story the way I wanna tell it?”
T’Challa shakes his head going back to his phone again.  
“Like I was saying, she good!  That ain’t no issue, so she been doing her own research, eating different foods and trying other shit in the bedroom and scheduling shit out to when she most fertile but ain’t a damn thing happened.  She bought pregnancy tests in bulk and shit, like this is all she be thinkin about now.  We can’t just fuck no more, it’s fuckin with a purpose, which ain’t as fun.  So now I gotta go get tested to make sure my hotel is fully booked for vacation, you know what I’m sayin?”
T’Challa turns off his screen letting out a sigh.  “Well that is a lot of information for you to have given me just now.  Great start to the evening.”
Erik kisses his teeth.  “Wooow, ok, I thought family could confide in family, but cool.  I hear you.”
“Erik, that is not the problem, it is your details.  You leave in far too many.” T’Challa says, voice raising in frustration.  “I don’t want this imagery in my head and just out of respect for Kimara, can you minimize the specifics?”
Erik drives in silence for a minute mulling it over.  “Fine, aight.  But that do remind me, I was wondering if you have any Wakandan aphrodisiac type stuff to try and get things kickin off more proper.  I don’t know what the doctor gonna say tomorrow, but I figure I can get ahead now.”
“N’Jadaka, have you...noticed any trouble in that area before?”  T’Challa asks unwillingly.
“Hell no!  I get up, I get down, and ain’t had no complaints, 100% on Yelp baby!”  Erik says cackling and slapping T’Challa’s leg.
“Alright, enough!  To answer your question, sure, there are some remedies that can aid you in that endeavor.  I can’t say how good they are, but they are made from natural ingredients so they won’t harm you, that’s for sure.”
“Bet!  I’ll call you when I’m ready to try the shit.  Now you bein a good cousin!”  Erik cheeses excitedly.
Finally making it to the club, Erik and T’Challa get in without a worry of a line or a cover charge.  T’Challa is the head of the world’s richest country after all.
Heading inside, Cardi B is blasting as the ladies shake their asses to the beat.  Erik can’t help but notice all the big round ass pointing to the sky like shrimp on a platter, and he wanted to chow DOWN.  So maybe he looked every now and then, hell it was practically in his face.
“Damn, it’s hot in here tonight, you see this?”  Erik asks, looking over at T’Challa with his head in his phone.  “Nigga, what the hell you been lookin at this entire time?”
T’Challa puts his phone in his pocket.  “Nothing.  Oh wow, honeys everywhere, so sweet.  Yum.”  His tone is monotone as he makes his way to the bar area with Erik following in confusion.
Erik orders some Ciroc neat so his likelihood of a hangover is diminished.  T’Challa asks for a beer.
“Uh uh, bartender scratch that.  Get him some Crown Royal Black to start off with, neat.”  Erik intervenes.  
“That’s not what I wanted Erik.  I have things to do tomorrow as well.”  T’Challa hissed.
Erik sips on his drink.  “Yeah, and I assume they entail meeting with Nakia, right?”
T’Challa sighs as his drink comes up, twisting the glass in his hand.  “It’s not like I’m groveling for her attention, it’s work related.”
“And that’s the damn problem.  You ain’t gettin a break from her to get your shit back on track.  Okoye told me you be freezin, but nigga you in a Captain America ice brick.”
T’Challa looks at Erik scornfully.  “I am so tired of you all joking about that around me.  I know how to talk to a woman I admire like a normal human being.”
Erik flashes his golds with a sly smile looking across the dancefloor.  “Ok, what about….her, in the yellow.  You like that?”
T’Challa follows Erik’s direction to see a woman with a close cut dancing.  “She reminds me of the Dora too much.  No offense to them but they are like family.”
Erik nods.  “Ok, I got you.  Sooo...her, in the glittery number.”
This woman had locs going past her shoulders with jewelry adorning them.   Her dark colored dress was skintight with glitter scatter across the neck traveling to the sides of her dress in strappy stilettos.
T’Challa nods.  “Maybe.  I can get to know her.”
“Now, hang on.  You wanna know her for longer than tonight?  That’s a whole other system I have to use to map out that possibility.”
“Oh how do you know?  She could be very respectable.”
Erik claps his shoulder.  “Now, not to be extra, but she can be respectable and sleep with you on the first date dawg.   A woman’s worth ain’t based on that alone.”
T’Challa whacks his hand off.  “I told you that!  Don’t use my words against me, you know what I am saying!”
“Then go over there and get to talkin!  I ain’t got all night man!”  Erik says, sipping his drink as T’Challa goes over to her.  Erik observes as they talk: she looks at him up and down, T’Challa offers a handshake which would’ve been a strike until he kissed her hand.  Smooth, muthafucka!  Erik thought.
As Erik polishes off his Ciroc, he orders one more for the road.  While waiting, a woman catches his eye across the way.  She looks like something straight out of a music video; titties sittin up and out, waist snatched with some wide hips that had to lead to a juicy behind if she turned around just a little bit.  She runs her hand down her 3C wig as she bites her oxblood colored lips in the strobe lights.  
Erik has to adjust himself for space in his pants, downing his drink in one gulp.  He looks over at T’Challa, who has the girls arms wrapped around his neck, so things were progressing well.  Erik looks back to the woman who blows a kiss at him in the most sexiest way he has ever seen.  He curses himself as he retreats, heading to the bathroom.  
There wasn’t a line thankfully as he goes to a urinal leaning against the wall.  He tries to clear his mind of the sight of that woman;  Grandma’s, dirty draws, IRS levies, anything to make his half mast dick go down.  It had been too long since he busted; doctor’s orders to make sure they get an accurate sample, but he didn’t expect to be this weak.  Erik has been away from his girl too long for the night, clearly, so once he was able to pee, he made a plan to get the hell out of there.
Coming out of the bathroom he practically runs someone over.
“Oh, there you are.”
Erik looks to see the baddie from across the way.  Her body is almost flush with his since she didn’t take a step back from his almost collision.
“Are you followin me?”  Erik asks suspiciously.
She flashes a 1000 watt smile, dimples and all.  “No!  The girl’s is just always too long to wait….”
They stand in front of each other for entirely too long given the context of the conversation.
“I’m Chanel, by the way.”  She holds her hand out, pastel colored nails sharpened to points with jewels dorning the ring fingernail.
“I’m Erik.”  Erik takes it, growing again subconsciously from the softness and beauty of her hand, imagining it wrapped around his…
“Well, go ahead, that’s free to use.  I’ll be outta your hair.”  Erik says practically tripping past her to pull himself from her magnetic charm.  The evening is wearing him down fast as he tries to find T’Challa.
He finally spots him in between two women jostling for his attention as he smiles all shiny and clearly tipsy.
Erik grabs him by the shoulders.  “Aight, let’s go ‘fore I turn into a pumpkin bruh.”
T’Challa laughs, eyes barely open as he hugs the women to him, putting them on display.  “Iman, Chi, this is my cousin I was talking to you about.  He wants to be a Daddy!”
This sets off laughter between the three as Erik grows impatient.  “Challa, bring yourself on or you’ll have to be beggin for 50 cent a day to take your ass home.”
Iman, the woman Erik pointed out for T’Challa, quiets down from laughing first.  “I’m sorry, Erin is it?  T’Challa has been the life of the party here and we were planning to make a little after party for two later, right?”
She rubs his chest, kissing his neck which makes T’Challa laugh harder.  “I’m ticklish…”
Chi, a high yellow woman who looks like she used to be a flyer on the cheerleading squad wraps her arm through Erik’s.  “And I’m lookin for someone to call Daddy.”  
Erik firmly peels her grip off, avoiding her batting fake eyelashes.  “Girl if you don’t get the fu- T’Challa!  Collect your shit, I’m leavin with or without you man.”
Erik walks through and out the club heading to his car.  T’Challa stumbles not too far behind.
“Heeeeyy, Erik!  I’m supposed to be having fun with women tonight, why are you breaking my balls, man?”  T’Challa says, slurring his words as he whispers something to Iman, making her cackle.  T’Challa must’ve ordered a bottle or two to be acting this lit.
Erik mugs T’Challa as he unlocks his doors.  “Look like you got one, quit while you ahead.  Am I droppin y’all both at the same place?”
“To mine!!”  T’Challa bellows as he clumsily opens the door for his date.  
Erik drives off with T’Challa and Iman in the backseat being playful.  Erik checks his phone as he drives, seeing no sign of Kimara ever texting back.  It’s going on 2 am.  Erik goes to ask T’Challa a question when he looks in his rearview to see him on top of his date, hands completely up her skirt as she claws to take his shirt off.
“Aye, aye!  Y’all ain’t fuckin in my car!  Get up off her, T!”  Erik hits T’Challa as he drives.
“Eh eh!  Stop it, you are doing a lot right now, N’Jadaka.  Calm yourself.”  T’Challa whines as he lays on Iman’s bosom as she muffles her laughter.
Finally making it to T’Challa’s spot, Erik issues a warning.  “Be easy on her T’Challa.  That purple running through your ass could split her in half if you don’t pace yourself.”
T’Challa leans over the front seat putting a finger to his lips.  “Shuuuush, that is my secret no one can know.  Except Nakia, she knew how to….OH!  Don’t forget to call me about helping you impregnate your wife.”
“Congrats on fatherhood!”  Iman waves at Erik as she helps T’Challa out the car.
Erik waves weakly back watching them go inside, handsy and excited to finish what they started.  Erik sighs as he pulls off to his crib, reminiscing on his days or being that wild and free with his sexuality.  Kimara is his one and only now, and he loves every minute of it, but the baddie at the club was sticking to his mind a little too deeply.
When Erik makes it home, he steps into the bedroom to see Kimara lying asleep, facing away from him.  Erik gets undressed and takes a quick shower to freshen up before sliding across the sheets to hug his wife into him.
“Mmm, stop, I’m sleeping.”  Kimara moans, batting his arms away.
“I missed you, girl, that’s all.”  Erik says quietly, kissing her shoulder, hands traveling down her side roughly.
Kimara snaps her head back.  “Erik, I’m serious, get on somewhere.  You missed your opportunity goin out with T’Challa, now you need to rest up any damn way.”  Kimara punches her pillow a couple times before flopping down on it.
Erik kisses his teeth sitting up.  “So you don’t wanna ask me about my night?  How T’Challa is?  Anything about what we did tonight?’
“Erik, I don’t give a fuck about nothin but taking my ass to sleep, so if you would stop talkin I can do that.”
“Shit, I wish you was like this when I get off work…”  Erik says under his breath.
“There’s a lotta things I wish you would do for me Erik, but Imma save your manhood til the doctor got time to see you.  Good fuckin night!”
Erik lays there staring at the ceiling, words completely lost on him to express himself.  Kimara’s attitude in all its glory, and he just had to take it.  Erik is feeling less and less like a man in his own home. Kimara wants so much outta him, he plays it cool but it was starting to affect him.  When that girl looked at him like that in the club, it was a gaze he hadn’t gotten in at least a month from Kimara.  
The next morning, Erik rolls around to an empty bed.  Kimara got an early start to her day, leaving Erik to be responsible for getting to his appointment on time.  He arrived 30 minutes late.
“Erik Stevens!”  The nurse calls out to him in the waiting room to cue his turn to be seen.
The middle age white woman goes over the usual height, weight, blood pressure and asks about his medical history.  Erik is not a fan of doctors, so this took a lot for him to show up to.  But if it was important to Kimara, he’d go through with it.
He was left alone to stare at the white walls with diagrams of scrotums and reproductive facts until the nurse came back with a cup and a clipboard.
“Ok, Mr. Stevens, you will take this into room 3B.  Be very sure you go into 3B, you aren’t our only patient today and we don’t want to make any awkward introductions with the others, ok?”  She says eyes crinkling as she hands him the cup.
Erik looks at the cup curiously.  “You sure this ain’t for horses or somethin?  I’m supposed to fill this?”
The nurse looks at him with amused pity, patting his shoulder.  “No dear, you contribute as much as God intends.  The size just makes for an easier catch.”
Erik mutters a thank you and makes his way over to his ‘donation station’, keeping his eye on 3B.  He still knocks before entering just in case and walks in, closing the door behind him.  The room was simple, an exam bed next to a tub of lube, with an old school TV on a table with a DVD player and some magazines.
Erik hasn’t been into porn since high school, he frankly hasn’t needed it since.  But he was curious what old stuff they kept to get dudes off, so he starts with the DVD titles.  ‘Katie’s Goes to an HBBCU’, ‘Black and Barely Legals’, ‘The Mandingo Report’, ‘Santa’s Big Booty Ho Ho Hos’....
“The fuck?”  Erik says in disgust.  He wonders if every room has this selection or if the B in 3B is for ‘Black’ donors.  
The magazines were just as worse with old Playboys featuring blonde bimbos in between sticky pages.  Erik tossed them and went over to the sink to rinse his hands off.  Nothing in that room was gonna get this done fast so he sat on the edge of the bed and got his phone out.  He has one unread message from Kimara.
Sorry I left so soon.  I had to go to the studio early today to get ahead on some stuff.  Hope you’re doing good!
Erik breathed a sigh of relief as it seems she was past last night for now.  
I’m good, you know how I am about doctors.
She replies back.  Yeah, you think they all microchipping people when they tell you to say ahhh lol
Erik smiles to himself, thankful to have her words running across his screen.   Another message pops up.
Are you done then?  Cuz I was hoping I could meet you for lunch or somethin to talk and stuff.
Erik bites his lip holding the phone in his hands, getting some devilish thoughts in his brain.  
Nah, not yet.  They got pornos here but I ain’t feelin them.
He sends the message and waits a little bit hoping she gets what he’s trying to say.  He saved their best work on his computer at home but he hadn’t backed them up for him to access on his phone yet.  
A few minutes pass and he’s getting anxious picking up the phone again to text an outright request before his phone dings.  The icon of a video message appears and Erik’s dick is already getting hard.  Pressing play he sees her come up on screen smiling with the sun on her face beaming in a halter bikini.  This is a video from their vacation last year to the Bahamas.  They stayed at an Airbnb that was way over budget but worth it.  Kimara giggles talking in a vlog style on the balcony before Erik slips up behind her, hugging her waist and kissing her behind her ear.
“You vloggin baby?  Look at us, we fuckin cute as shit.”  Erik said, speech slurred.
Kimara giggles so hard her eyes close.  “You messin up my shot Erik, dang!  I’m tryna document our trip for later.”
Erik lays on Kimara as she leans over the rail of the patio, gripping her breast greedily.  “You documentin everythin?”
“Mhm.” Kimara nods as she looks at Erik from the camera’s front facing view.   
As the scene progresses Erik takes his pants down and pumps the lube from the side table to start working on himself.  Leaning back on the bed he gets comfortable as he watches his hands travel Kimara’s body, stripping her slowly and her reacting blissfully.  Her moans and foul language keep him focused on his stroke as Erik in the video commandeers the camera to show him entering her from behind.  Erik breathes in sharply as he recalls her tightness around him as he jacks himself faster.  The camera pans to Kimara arching, her braids splayed across her back as she works herself back on him, gripping the rail for dear life.  Her moans become louder and more breathless as she approaches her tipping point, Erik in the doctors office and Erik in the video curse in unison over their shared pleasure.  When the camera shows his dick covered in her creamy secretions he barely had time to grab the cup and collect his sample.  He groaned as he choked his dick to get every spurt he could into it.
“Alright, y’all better show out in them tests.”  He tells his little soldiers as he caps the cup.  
As Erik came down from his high, he calls Kimara with his clean hand.
“Hey, baby.  How are you?”  Kimara asks.  He can hear her smiling as she talks.
“Now you know what the fuck you just did.”  Erik says laughing.
“And I know what you just did!  That’s a favorite, I loved that trip.”
“Shit, you tellin me.  I fuckin miss that island, it just brought out a different energy in us.”
There’s a pause on Kimara’s end.  “It did huh?  Maybe we can plan to go there again soon?  It would be a nice time of the year, I got vacation time to take.”
Erik stuffs his dick back in his pants, sitting up.  “I like that idea.  I got one demand though if we go.”
“Anything.”  Kimara says seductively.
“No talk of tryna get pregnant, kids, babies, fertility windows, none of that.  I still feel like our biggest problem is stressing out about it.  We just need to go on and when it happens, it happens.  The doc said it could take over a year, so I mean I just don’t wanna see you going out of your mind about this.  You need to relax some and just be you again.”
Kimara sighs.  “You can’t plan a trip and think all of our problems are just gonna go like that.  Sweeping things under the rug will just-”
“Problems?  As in plural?  Whatchu talkin bout, Mara?”
“Nothing, I don’t wanna do this over the phone, I gotta go.”  
Erik looks at the call ending on his phone loses any relaxation he just gained a few minutes ago.
