Ian pulls out half a dozen cupcakes, all different flavors, and sticks a candle in every single one. He lights them all and sings Happy Birthday to his husband in the lowlight of their kitchen, his arms wrapped around Mickey’s waist and his voice soft. Mickey’s cheeks turn pink, and Ian pretends not to notice. He makes him blow out the candles anyways.
“You have to try them all,” Ian tells him.
“Have to?”
“Legally required.”
“I don’t remember signing a contract.”
“It’s written in between the lines of our marriage license.”
Mickey snorts and picks up the first cupcake—basic, safe, plain old vanilla with vanilla frosting—and takes a huge ass bite before handing it to Ian. He gets frosting on his nose.' - i need you (like cake on my birthday) by @sam-loves-seb

All day at work I've been thinking about choking Belphie during sexy time cuz like. . . .he did that to us and im still salty about it. Kinda just wanna be mean to him♥
Just imagine riding him for the first time and all of a sudden you get the urge to wrap your fingers around his neck -squeezing - and he moans, feeling him twitch hard inside you
"what? you like when I do this to you?" He lets out a small whimper as you continue to fuck and choke him, slightly adding more pressure to his neck, "after everything that's happened, you enjoy having me choke you? pathetic."
"Hah!...d-do any...p-punishment, ah" belphie chokes out, drooling, his fingers dig into your hips holding onto you as you continue to dominate him.
"Punishment? Please, you'd enjoy it Belph," You slap him across the face with your other hand. He lets out a muffled moan as you feel his cock pulsate and start spilling his hot cum inside you. You continue riding him as he becomes a whimpering mess and slap him once more,
"-But fine. I'm gonna milk my little cow for everything he's got." ♡
norway what was the bloodiest and most brutal battle you've ever been part of?
The battle of Lund in 1676.
The bloodiest battle Norway has been a part of is the Battle of Lund in 1676, fought between Denmark-Norway and the Netherlands against Sweden, where Sweden won. The Danish King had 12 300 soldiers to command and the Swedish King had only had 8 000. Both sides ended up loosing about 50% of their army. It is said to be the bloodiest battle ever fought in Scandinavia, and it was a coincidence that the Swedes won just due to the chaotic nature of the battle.
The battle was a result of Danish forces invading the southern part of today’s Sweden, an area that had previously belonged to Denmark. The Swedes were led by a reckless and young king who had already put them through harsh conditions and bad camp locations that had cause a great percentage of the soldiers to die from illness already before the battle had begun. The Danes had followed the Swedish army and were in much better position, both location-wise and with a steady supply line.
The Danes became impatient and gave up good placement to attack the Swedes as they neared the city of Lund just outside Malmö. As mentioned, the battle was disorienting and chaotic, with a lot of breaks in formation, a missing Swedish King who came back after several hours to break through Danish lines who had his forces surrounded. Not to mention over-eager Swedes absolutely slaughtering sailors who wanted to surrender, with the words “Sailors have paid to fight at sea, but not at land. You therefore deserve no mercy!”. The massacre was stopped by a Swedish officer.
I was like, ah I should make the shadow something interesting, and then I'm like GIVE HIM BULL HORNS???? OKAY SURE !!!!! I'm glad such thoughts can strike at 7 in the morning....thanks brain. But hehehe I'm glad bcs now this matches up super well with the Nando one!
New ship dynamic: who's the bull and who's the matador :)
I think, in this AU, Fernando is generally pretty fond of Seb when he first meets him. Like "ah yes my very own protégé, very nice, I shall mold him in my image." But then Seb starts veering off that course. Bullfighting is all about being dramatic, but Seb maybe has a bit too much(🤏) flair for the dramatic. This escalation starts while he's still Fernando's assistant but he keeps it generally at bay. But god when he becomes a matador himself, he's just off the rails insane.
Bullfighting, to me, is a sport about reckless endangerment of one's self in the pursuit of drama and performance(its literally described as a tragedy in three acts.) But Fernando thinks Seb endangers himself *too* much, not because he cares or anything, but he's making a mockery of the sport!! Especially when Seb starts doing that bull hand symbol(seen above), Fernando just keeps become more enraged with him, not anything to do with the fact that Seb is threatening his records and threatening his own wellbeing, nah of course not.
Seb's gesture is making a mockery of the sport, he's disrespecting the culture, the very nature of it, blah blah blah. Jenson once asks Fernando, after noticing him seething while watching Seb do his gesture, "Which bull are you really trying to defeat?" One could also describe Fernando and Seb's relationship as a "tragedy with three acts."
Anyways Fernando gets very tied up with this rivalry. Even after suffering a severe injury(I have yet to decide, but y'know mchonda electrocution core), he quickly returns to the sport, loath to let Seb get any more headway. And then Seb gets injured, poor little sweet Seb, and neither of them can handle it. Though I already covered this in my prev lore post 🤭 and I think I put it pretty viscerally there so!! I digress.
They're both matadors, but the bull itself is not the only bull Fernando wants to conquer. Conquer as in death? Hm.

Below the cut are a couple of really short teasers for the fics!
Episode 4/Nicholas D. Wolfwood
"After the lesson, he was allowed to eat. The first meal of every day was Communion. They were given a fist-sized chunk of moldy bread and a drink that Wolfwood realized as he grew older was certainly not wine."
Episode 8/Rem Saverem
"Like Leda surely did, she feared for her Gemini, her little gifts from the stars. But there would be no invasion of Athens. Their sister would not be coming back."
Episode 11/Plants
"Pale blue eyes blinked open in the harsh white light around him. Chanting surrounded him, a kind of round humming like the clacking of stones. His sisters gathered around him, a white void surrounded by unfurled plants. “Nai. Nai!” They keep calling, quietly but urgently. Their soft petals brushed against his body; he could feel them through his skin-tight suit."
Episode 12/Eriks
"She cranked a lever on the phonograph and lowered the needle onto a slightly heat-warped record. It skipped and buzzed over the old-fashioned orchestral music. He closed his eyes and rocked in the chair. "I’m glad you’re having a good day, Eriks. I hope you are, too.""
FINALLY !!! these took a day or two but i finished my mew mew refs, i thought i should make them since i draw her often but VERY inconsistently ... also changed a few things and decided to add the other outfits ^_^
[Image Description: Two photos of me on the train from the chest up. I’m smiling with my eyes mostly closed in both and in the second I’m making half a heart shape with my fingers. I’m wearing a white tank top, brown cardigan, blue over ear headphones and a surgical mask. End ID.]
Okay I absolutely adored that fruit salad question, so I'm bringing it to you! Musical fruit salad from your favourite artist, 5 fruit minimum, go go go 💙
oh boy i love this question so much okay okay okay i really couldn't decide if i would rather do sleep token or twenty one pilots... so you will ALSO get two fruit salads!!
my fruits:
strawberry 🍓 <- one of their more popular songs that i would show someone who had never heard of them before
blueberry 🫐 <- it may seem like just a little tune, but to me the album would NOT be the same without it
melon 🍈 <- she may not be for everybody, but real ones will appreciate these underrated tracks (underratedness was determined by spotify streams not science)
kiwi 🥝 <- we're adding a lil something special to this fruit salad. these are songs that are near and dear to me
cherry 🍒 <- my personal favorite fruit, so my personal favorite song
sleep token salad:
🍓 The Summoning - it's the song that seems to have really set them on their current trajectory, and it is indeed a fucking BANGER so if i'm trying to get someone into sleep token, this would be my go-to
🫐 DYWTYLM - honestly didn't really like it on my first listen to the album, but on my second go round i could not BELIEVE i ever felt that way. it is so incredibly necessary to the overall album + vessel's journey and i will defend her until my dying breath.
🍈 Drag Me Under & Descending - i really couldn't pick between these two UNDERrated queens get it? get it? i'm so sorry . but there was one morning that i was listening to my sleep token playlist watching the sunrise on my back porch and these songs played back to back and tbh it was a spiritual experience
🥝 Take Me Back to Eden - i actually can't stress enough the personal significance that this song has to me. the line "i don't know what's got its teeth in me / but i'm about to bite back in anger" is in total honesty the thing that motivated me to get the help that i needed during the darkest time in my life. i can't talk about it or i WILL cry
🍒 Aqua Regia & Telomeres - it's my fruit salad so i get to have extra cherries since they're my favorite😌 aqua regia is the baddest bitch in town to me and the guitar solo in telomeres is possibly my favorite part in any st song ever.
twenty one pilots salad:
🍓 Fairly Local - i would have chosen car radio because that was my personal introduction to them, but i think fairly local is more representative of where they are now musically. (but if i was to pick a first album i would def be showing them vessel)
🫐 Neon Gravestones - not sure how universal this is, but most tøp fans i know skip this song on trench but i personally have always loved it. the lyrics are phenomenal, and it's a very powerful song.
🍈 Redecorate & March to the Sea - i couldn't choose just one because i think both of these albums as a whole are underrated (listen. i know that scaled and icy wasn't their best but. those are some fucking bops okay?). whenever i need to have a good cry i listen to self-titled and march to the sea has always been my favorite from that album.
🥝 Trees - seeing them perform trees in concert was a canon event for me. my best friend, who i have known since i was 5 (and was not familiar w them at all), said she had never seen me experience emotions like i did when they performed this song. it makes me so happy that they still end shows with this song, i think its a rite of passage.
🍒 Doubt - honestly, i can't even remember why at this point but this has been my favorite twenty one pilots song since blurryface came out, it's my most played song by them FOR SURE.
