Hi I’m a bit embarrassed to say this lol, that’s why I’m anonymous. Can you please write headcanons for Bi Han, Liu Lang, Geras, Tomas and Raiden with someone who uh, really really likes to suck their cockk 🫣
😳
i sure as hell can anon🫦
explicit content under the cut
Sub-Zero
knowing bi han stubborn ass he's gonna claim it gets in the way whenever you ask more often than not, but as soon as he picks up on your fixation...you can literally do no wrong
most times he takes control, other times the dome is so overwhelmingly good he grunts constantly and gets lightheaded, but don't tell nobody 🤫
you'd be surprised with the amount of praise he gives you. it would even go to point of him noticing differences and similarities between present and past with how skilled you were. leave it up to him to make everything into fighting terms (he doesn't know how to express his emotions give him a moment😹)
Liu Kang
at a loss for words tbh. he knew you loved getting intimate with him but specifically giving him oral caught him off guard. this is only bc he's used to being dominant and making sure your pleasure comes first that he's like woah, you're quite eager there 😲
he wouldn't be one to deny you though. in a way he's still prioritizing your pleasure since you are indeed receiving it from giving him head, and was not one to ever complain!
he's not one to have or show his ego, but damn, the lewd sounds that come from your mouth and the sight of you clearly enjoying yourself does make him feel like the luckiest god there is. to have you all to himself in this portion of his lifetime is the absolute highlight and he'll never forget it
Geras
ik geras isn't some giant monster man but he absolutely has a giant monster co-
you can barely even reach past the middle, and you want to keep doing that? okay, he thinks, by all means do what makes you both happy in the end
secretly worried for your jaws and sometimes your throat. he's gonna keep asking if you're okay and would prob be very confused/concerned if tears started falling from trying to take all of him. you gotta explain it's all part of the process and you enjoy it. he might not ever understand everything about mortals, but he sure loves the pleasure while he learns
Smoke
i 1000% believe that tomas is super sensitive around his dick. like, regular sex is already one thing. but...superb head from you? he MIGHT just die
theoretically speaking you wouldn't be able to pin him down while you suck him off but a girl can dream, let's throw logic out the window real quick. he'd lose his fucking mind and start muttering praises in czech
he does prefer to pleasure you BUT who would he be to say no to you?? he gets bomb head on a regular basis and a hot partner to do it. he wouldn't even have time to ask you for it because you keep telling him you will/you want to. if you really bout it, you'll discover he'd definitely be into getting oral in a secluded public space like the bathroom or training room
Raiden
like i always say, he may come off as a shy cutie (which he is) BUT when that dark side comes out it's over
i feel like he's a switch. so, whenever you ask if you can do a lil vacuum action it always starts the same way, but never ends the same way
it starts with him shyly agreeing letting you do your thing then bam, he either starts pushing your head down more and makes you go at the pace he wants OR you're just too good and make him squirm, buck, whine, and tremble. it's always a gamble but hey, i like these odds, don't you? you two equally go back and forth with pleasuring each other and he even worries he'd get selfish but like who cares mf im tryna hear you 😮‍💨

surrounded in smoke ✧ jake sully
Tumblr media
❗️MDNI ❗️
YES I AMDE TSU'TEY ALIVE I MISS HIM BUT ENJOT THIS I WOULD LEGIT DIE FOR JAKE AND IM DO DRUNK YPING THIS
°˖➴ warnings: fem omatikaya reader, age gap (jake 30, reader 20), angst to smut, slow burn??, sorta cheesy lovey jake, l-bombs, oral f receiving, softdom!jake, dirty talk, size kink, tsaheylu, missionary 😮‍💨 - muntxatan: male spouse/mate
Tumblr media
the multilayered tension between you and jake was obvious. the way you yearned for him was reciprocated completely, yet it was so difficult to address. jake being olo’eyktan gave him the highest status in the clan, and you knew you wouldn’t be able to compete with that. you were just another woman in the clan, a younger one at that. but to jake you were more than just ‘another woman’; you were the woman he needed, the one he would choose over anyone else. he admired your initiative, your skill in almost every possible task, your genuine kindness and generosity. you two loved each other, spent hours together yet never spoke about the one thing that was painfully evident, the one thing that kept drawing you both to each other day after day.
the war party had returned after a long day, sky dark and everyone's freckles glowing bright. all the injured men were travelling to the tsahik tent, several visibly bleeding and limping. you greeted them as they returned, searching the crowd for one specific individual. when you didn't spot jake, you began to notice the anguish on some of the faces of your fellow omatikaya. you tap tsu'tey's shoulder, urging him to look to you, "tsu'tey, where is jake?" your heart begins racing at the million possibilities swirling in your mind. "we don't know. one minute he was with us and then he was gone. we looked around the area but there was a lot of smoke and it was dark, it was hard to see if he was anywhere", your breath catches in your throat at his words, head dizzy with the thought of jake possibly being dead. "thank you.." you whisper, rushing to call for your ikran. when she arrives you hop on her back, connecting your queue with her and guiding her to the war zone. jake had warned you to never enter this area, even if it seemed necessary yet you weren't even worrying about your own safety at this point, chest heaving with every anxious breath you breathed. you finally land in the war zone amongst several destroyed rda gunships, smoke surrounding you just as tsu'tey had said.
you pulled your knife out and held it in front of you, just in case someone was to pop out of nowhere and attempt an attack. "jake!" you yell, looking through the mess of debris to see if he was anywhere to be seen. nothing. you move east of the zone first, smoke clearing as you get deeper into the forest. "jake!" you yell again, eyes scouring the area frantically. tears threaten to spill from your eyes as you get even deeper into the trees, hope slowly exiting your mind. as if perfectly timed out, you heard a low grunt in the close distance. "jake?" you yell again, running towards where the sound appeared to be coming from. you see a muscular arm peeking out from behind a tree, someone obviously slumped against it. you move around the tree to spot jake there, several bruises littering his torso. "jake, oh great mother, thank you" you breathe out, kneeling beside him. "y/n? sweetheart why are you out here? it's so dangerous" he says, hand reaching for yours. "i came looking for you, what happened?" you asked, squeezing his hand as a tear rolls down your cheek. "shit i don't even know, i ended up ducking into the trees at some point and got knocked out for a bit, guess i was farther out than i thought" he explains, his eyes following the tear's trail down your freckled cheek. "i thought-" you whine softly as more tears fall, "i thought you were dead, i got so scared when you didn't come home with everyone else" he brings his free hand up to cup your cheek, swiping your tears away gently. "oh sweetheart... i'm right here, i'm alright, don't cry..." he smiles softly as you nod, nuzzling into his large and warm hand.
"god y/n..." he sighs, heart swelling at the mere thought of you being worried for him. "what is it?" you place your much smaller hand on top of his, "it must be obvious now, but i just- i need to tell you, or ask you, i guess" he rambles, biting his lip from the slight nerves emerging inside of him. "i have chosen you, y/n... i love you. if you would let me, i would be honoured to be your mate..." he trails off, thumb tracing small circles on your cheek. your heart is racing again, so fast that it feels like it could just jump out of your chest at any second. "jake... i feel the same way, ever since we first met. i would do anything to be your mate.. but jake, you are olo'eyktan, the most important person in our clan. are you sure you want me to be your mate? i'm just another woman, a younger one who is really nothing special-" he cuts you off, "hey, do not say that about yourself. i have never met someone like you, and in any life, any world i would choose you. i am positive, i want you to be my mate" he states, moving closer to lean his forehead against yours. your breath quivers at the proximity, tickling his lips. "can i kiss you, princess?" you nod frantically, his lips colliding with yours in a passionate kiss. you hum into it and reach for his shoulders, coaxing him to draw you onto his lap.
he groans softly at the feeling of your warmth and weight against him, hands travelling all over your torso, groping and grazing every inch of you. when his lips part slightly you take the opportunity to slip your tongue into his mouth, tail swishing rapidly at the new sensation. his hands find a home on your hips, grasp strong as he pulls your hips down to meet his crotch in a gentle grind. you whimper slightly into the kiss as your clothed yet wet pussy rubbed against the tent forming in his loincloth. "jake.." you breathe as you retreat from his lips, hips moving at a rougher speed, his cock straining and begging to be released. "i know, babygirl... you look so fucking gorgeous" he whines out before ushering you to stand up, "off" he tugs at your loincloth in a hurried manner. you nod and quickly untie it from yourself, allowing it to fall as you step out of it. he grabs your thighs and pulls you so your pussy is now hovering in front of his mouth, slick visible and making him dizzy. "come here" he grumbles hungrily before attaching his tongue to your slit, gliding the muscle over your hole and finishing with a flick to your clit.
the whine that escapes your mouth is greedy, hole clenching around nothing. he chuckles at your noise before diving back in, tongue plunging into your hole and circling it, fingers leaving marks into your thighs. "jake" you moan, stabilizing yourself against the tree as your hips sporadically buck into him. he hums into your pussy, sending a vibration and shiver up your spine then coming back to your clit, sucking the bundle of nerves into his mouth. your jaw slacks while your clit pulses between jake's lips, knot inside of you beginning to tighten. "jake jake- i'm gonna-" you gasp out, roughly bucking your hips in anticipation. he hums and nods between your legs, urging you to let go for him. "oh fuck!" you squeal, back arching while you cum then slouching after your high passes. he smiles and kisses along your thighs, pushing himself to stand up, "good, princess?" "sooo good" you smirk, moving to be flush against him. he moves so his mouth is situated beside your ear, breath leaving goosebumps along your neck, "do you want more of me?" he questions, guiding your hands to his bulge. you whimper and nod, tracing his shaft over the cloth. a sensual sigh leaves his lips before he guides you to lie on a patch of moss nearby, the plush plant surrounding your body delicately.
your chest heaves as you watch jake remove his loincloth, cock finally being released. jake was huge, and your eyes widened at the sight. he buzzed at your reaction, coming to kneel between your legs. "ready?" he hoists your legs up and around his waist while he aligns himself with your dripping entrance. "y-yes, please.." you gasp at the feeling of his tip pushing in, this small section of his cock seemingly stretching you out so much already. "big..." you whisper as he continues pushing in, your back arching slightly at the further stretch. "i know princess, just a bit more... you're just such a small girl, huh?" he finally bottoms out, his eyes fluttering shut from the vice grip your pussy has on him. your back arches from the kiss his tip gives your cervix, his length making you stretch. "tell me when i'm good to move, sweet girl, i know it's a lot for your little pussy.." he expresses with care yet underlying hints of taunting. "now.. fuck me jake" you say earnestly, aching for him to begin.
he smirks and pulls his hips back just to push in again, gaining a deep and consistent rhythm. he groans as your skin slaps together, cock being sucked in each time he pulls away slightly. his hands have a nice grasp on your waist, your nails digging into his biceps. "taking it so good, look at you, so pretty down there" he moans alongside you, your mind foggy as you stare at jake above you, your pussy squelching at each thrust. "this- this is so good, so good at this, jake" you whine and move one hand to yank your queue from underneath you, holding it up towards him, "let us seal it.." he nods breathlessly, swinging his from behind his back and letting it connect with yours. his thrusts never falter as you both observe the tendrils working their magic, intertwining and connecting you both even further. both of your grips on each other tighten at the feeling of the tsaheylu; bodies, spirits and minds fully united. "i love you, muntxatan" you breathe, now dilated pupils boring into his as your bodies lurch back and forth in unison. "i love you too, so much" he groans in a whispery tone, thrusts slower and rough now, slamming into you like there's no better feeling than this. "again- cum again-" you whine, legs flexing around his slim waist. "i'm with you, babygirl, gonna give you all my cum, all of it" he leans down to kiss you, sloppily yet sweetly. you kiss back as best you can as your orgasm rips through you, your pussy clenching and pulling his orgasm out of him in an instant. "holy fuckkkk..." he moans into your mouth as he releases into you, painting your walls as you gasp loudly at the feeling.
he pecks your lips again as he comes down from the high alongside you, your hands rubbing along his heaving chest. "i'm kinda glad i got left behind today" he chuckles and brushes his nose against yours. "hey! why?! i got so scared!" you smack his chest lightly, trying to hold back the smile creeping onto your face. "i see that smile coming.. show me" he smiles down at you and strokes your cheek with one hand, the smile now full on your face. "there we go, beautiful... now look, i'm glad because you came to find me and then all this happened, otherwise it could've been more months just pining over each other" you nod in agreement, giggle escaping, "well i guess i'm glad too, and i'm glad you're only bruised up and nothing more.." he hums in response and touches his lips to your forehead, letting them linger as you breathe in time with each other, now mated for life.

My special flower…
Yan!Muzan Kibutsiji x fem! reader
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
You were an ordinary human, living in the Entertainment District until, you laid eyes on Him.For you to be something he least expects., his blue spider lily
Tumblr media
This includes;Blood,needles,killing, eating human blood,kidnapping,cussing, sharp objects,Stalking
Main idea was from @moonnime <3
Tumblr media
Muzan never expected to find the Blue Spider lily in years, that is until you, a mere human, who caught his attention.
You are a pretty well known person that works in the ED, people loves each of your performance that you put on for them at night. They love your voice/dancing/singing skills, but there was this one person who you caught a glimpse at in the crowd that was watching you. He worse a black fedora with a suit, his eyes were like ruby’s in your eyes.
He caught a glimpse of you, and was lost in your eyes, your eyes were blue, like the blue spider lily. He need wants you, he just knows it. He knows that you would be his last piece..
Once your performance was over, you gathered all of your belongings together, and packed it up for the night, quickly you found your blindfold and put it on, changing your hair as well. You were making your way to a food stand, all of a sudden you blacked out..
You woke up to a new place, to you it looked pretty but also confusing. There was many rooms just by the looks of it, you can get lost in seconds, then you heard a Biwa play. You’re in a new room, it looked nice. The door creaked open and you saw the Man who caught your attention at the ED.
“So you’re awake, good. How are you my dear?” Before you can speak he interrupted you. “My name is Muzan..Muzan Kibutsji, you wont be needing this blindfold while you are with me..”
Thats how you ended up here, Everyday was a nightmare to you. You’re never able to leave, see the sun or your family and friends. Muzan swore to you that they are safe, but you highly doubt it. You met his Uppermoons but you are forbidden to speak to them. He had killed your family though, and ate them too. He didn’t want them to be around you, or try to find a way to communicate with you.
One time before he kidnapped you, he was watching you from afar. I mean he knew everything about you. Blood type, favorite food ect. He even sent his Uppermoons to watch over you when he couldn’t. He did knock you out cold, using his sharp nails to draw your blood and using a needle to take some it to use as a experiment.
“Y/N come here..” He sounded rather annoyed with you. You on the other hand was shaking like hell. You had no idea what you did, you did everything he said to do right? A giant pit was in your stomach, you heard Muzan from his lab area. Making you way to the door, your just standing there, debating is you really want to open the door or not. You know he has eyes all over the place, especially on you too. You sighed and opened the door to be met with a furious Muzan. He motioned for you to enter and close the door behind you, being scared enough you did it without a question. A hard slap was on your face, causing you to stumble back.
“Just the hell where we’re you last night and, did I specifically tell you to not leave?” He asked demanding you to answer him back almost instantly. Then it hit you, Akaza and you we’re outside watching the fireworks he told you about, but little did you know. Muzan saw you both. You were at a lost for words. “I.. I don’t know what you’re talking about.” You lied almost instantly. Hoping he would buy it. Another slap was heard through the air, this time causing blood to drip off from your cheek.
“Lie to me again Y/N and it will be worse. I’m only doing this to protect you and, you should know this. You will love and obey everything I say.”
I will do a part 2 soon..But for now this is all I have <3 Im sorry if this is not the best, I’m trying to get better.

N O T H I N G!!
Your intuitive nature is honestly so admirable, DAMN!! You know how to strike where it hurts, but also know when to bite your tongue.....and that's because you have a WICKED sense of intuition and duality!

just because you're bright and sunny, doesnt mean you wont defend yourself. Intelligent and Pointed words are fair game when your angry, and honestly im here 4 it, because it seems you dont get mad often.
You're a force to be reckoned with.

The pillars reactions to their traine thats super physicaly strong (like raw strength)
Their in a spar match and they just pick them up and bitch slam them on the floor straight on their back 😭
hii, i only write for 4 of the pillars, (mitsuri, obanai, sanemi and muichirou) so if they arent the specific onws you wanted im sorry abt that. here you go though 🤲🏼.
Tumblr media
obanai, mitsuri, muichiro and sanemi with a vv physically strong trainee!
Tumblr media
obanai:
• uhm excuse me... what the hell???? 🤠
• hes so confused
• if you could body slam the shit out of him why are you trying to train under him???
• like for all that you can rip the demons head off with with your hands! you dont need to learn how to wield a sword from him 😭.
• when oyakata first brought you to obanai to be his trainee he genuinely thought you were weak too ☠️.
• mans was like, "ha look at this dumbass they dont even know how to wield a sword 🥱"
• and you probably heard him bc that body slam seemed so personal-
• hes sorry just dont do that again, hell teach you serpent breath and everything :,).
mitsuri:
• omgomg OMGGGG
• shes always wanted a trainee! shes so exciteddd
• she almost forgot she had to spar with you to test your current skill. she just wanted to get straight into teaching you breath of love or helping you make your own breathing technique!
• but obanai reminded her and here we are now.
• shes still excited though! she even emphasized not to go easy on her, so you sadly had to body slam the nicest woman alive.
• but shes not mad, shes actually so impressed.
• shes extremely physically strong too you know! shed probably challenge you to a sparring match without weapons, who knows who will win! probably not you.
• anyway she thinks youre extremely cool and shes excited to see how strong youll be with a sword!
muichiro:
• see he was supposed to start your training like... last week? he doesnt know, he forgot.
• another thing he forgot, like mitsuri, was that he had to spar with you. unlike her though he didnt forget because he was excited he just deadass forgot.
• once yall were starting and he saw you didnt have a sword he immediately got defensive.
• hes forgetful not dumb, oyakata would not make him train you if you werent strong. so that means if you cant use a sword your probably as strong as the fuckin hulk.
• so since hes prepared, you probably wont be able to get to body slam him, but for the sake of this hc lets say you do.
• hes more annoyed than anything ☠️.
• hes like, "wtf that was mad uncalled for. now my back hurts. i cant even watch the clouds now because it hurts for me to lay down bc of you, dickhead."
• i hc sassy muichirou
• hell forgive you eventually probably.
sanemi:
• i love sanemi i promise not more than muichiro 🙄 but he would be the biggest dh ever.
• hed def be like "now why the actual fuck would i train a dumbass that doesnt even know how to use a sword??? you have to be really fucking talentless to-"
• he got bodyslammed before he could finish.
• contrary to probably what everyone would think, he smiles.
• he probablys like, "okay maybe i was being a douche, you might have a little potential."
• thats the best your gonna get from him so take it.
• in the end you got some respect from sanemi shinazugawa himself, be proud.

if you’re wondering why I’m having to repost this, or why you were perhaps previously following me but no longer are, please refer to this post. I was able to retrieve this thanks to the very lovely friends who have relentlessly sifted through tumblr archives to recover them, thank you all so much!! ♡
Tumblr media
Courting Eomer Would Include
- with regards to chivalry? Eomer invented it
- he’s treated you like royalty from the moment he first laid eyes on you, regardless of what your status may have been
- he has always treated you as a new blessing upon his life, even after being together for years, and that will never change
- despite acquiring a high status because of your relationship with Eomer, the two of you decided to live in a small cottage, rather than staying in the castle
- you prefer the more homely sense of life, and the separation from political matters that Eomer has to deal with on a daily basis
- cooking together consists of you cooking while Eomer hugs you from behind and watches you while showering you with compliments on your cooking skills
- Eomer is a family man, so obviously he’s going to be curious about whether you want children or not
- he’s very keen to know what your future holds, but because he wants to spend forever with you, he’s in no rush, and he is incredibly patient with all obstacles that the two of you face
- you and Éowyn are very good friends, you spend a lot of time together, and whenever Eomer is unsure of your whereabouts, the most likely place to find you, is wherever Éowyn is
- Eomer is fiercely protective, and has been known to get a little jealous of other men flirting with you, but he is never angry towards you, he only ever shows you love and kindness
- he’s always finding new and wonderful nicknames for you that he will refer to you as, no matter who’s around
“Good evening my starlit angel, how has your day been?”
“Well hello radiant sunflower, what a surprise to see you here!”
“Have any of you seen my ray of moonlight?“
- big fan of PDA, loves swinging an arm around your shoulders and kissing your temple whenever he sees you
- also has a habit of winking at you from across the room, as though he’s trying to woo you even when you’ve been in a relationship for years
- loves giving you piggybacks from one building in Rohan to another, even if they’re only a few paces apart
- when he gives you piggybacks, he makes horse sounds and only responds to being called your “trusty steed”
- honestly who needs to think about kids when your boyfriend acts like one anyway
- when the two of you go on walks around Rohan together, he’ll hold your hand and swing your hands in between you as you walk, smiling proudly at anyone you see because he’s just so proud to be yours
- when you have to leave the room for any reason, you’ll stand on your tiptoes to kiss Eomer’s cheek before you go, and no matter how many times you or anyone else sees it, he will never admit that he blushes
- you often accompany him to the bar in the evenings, to socialise with your friends
- people have often made the mistake of challenging you to their drinking games, and while most men of the time would never even think to let their woman participate in such “manly” activities, Eomer simply laughs at the poor souls that challenge you and watches with pride as you completely destroy them at their drinking games
- he brags about you to his friends 24/7, but he will never tell them that he lets you braid his hair in the evenings
- cuddles while at home are a near constant thing for the two of you, and Eomer will use any excuse he can think of in order to gain affection from you
“Sweetheart, my lips are rather cold, do you think you could warm them with yours?”
“Oh dear lord! I think I just saw a very small and partially invisible orc! The only way to protect you from this very specific orc breed is to have you sat on my lap, Im afraid this is the only solution!”
- Eomer loves you more than he has ever loved anything else in existence, and he will continue to do so for the rest of your forever

i feel the need to first point out that no one should do this to quote unquote steal someone's artstyle. being able to emulate a specific style is a good trick to learn for jobs in which you have to do just that (animation, comics etc.) i personally love being as canon compliant when it comes to fanart so i go crazy:
studying the source material! in general with drawing, you think you know what something looks like but when you draw it out, it may look weird and off!! this is when you're gonna want to hoard a lot of screenshots from the source material to study/draw over/redraw based on them. as you're drawing, you may realize that "WOW okay so i didn't know that part was so angled and sharp, i thought it was a near perfect circle!" (me when i first drew mikey's head fr).
repetition!! don't avoid drawing simply because you're thinking you're not good enough yet. art is something you get good at with trial and error so you'll only ever get better if you draw, draw and draw!!!! not only do you learn more with each drawing, you'll also get more comfortable with the overall process :)
(gonna throw in a mystery number three which is not really tied to replicating styles BUT!!! doing anatomy studies is a good way to improve your solid drawing skills fast!!! im linking my pinterest folder that i use for anatomy studies every now and then below the line to help anyone get started!)
animation tips
i'm like, 90% self-taught so i may not know the correct terminology for everything... but you're definitely going to want to study the 12 principles of animation!! there are a LOT of youtube videos available on this particular subject!! once you have gone through each principle, you may want to try and do little animation practices with these in mind!
i think ROTTMNT really kickstarted my personal learning curve as i'm just SO ridiculously eager to learn anything and everything i possibly can, i mean i have never in my life been so excited to just learn! i heavily recommend following the rottmnt animators' online profiles and go through their galleries/portfolios to study their work! it's all so amazing...
tldr, STUDY the source material and REPEATEDLY draw/animate and take active notes on what you could improve on, still. you got this!!! >:]
some links that other people have kindly compiled with lotsa references/tutorials and tips. i recommend eyeballing through them and checking out anything that interests you! :]

I was thinking a lot about how mimzy mentioned that "He [alsator] was the only one I knew who could pound back whiskey like a sailor, and then keep up with me on the dance floor!" Which, I adore, so much! Alastor used to dance?? Incredible
Now the reason I was thinking about this, was because we've seen that Vox also can dance! I'm not sure if this was intentional or not, but the move Vox and Val do where Vox is swung like a limp noodle, really reminded me of one of my favorite styles of swing dancing! The Lindy Hop! I know it first started around 1928, and gained popularity as time went on. It's super fun, if you want check out some videos of people dancing, even today people keep that crazy lively energy with it! Anyways sorry, I really like swing dancing. Back to the point, Vox died in the 1950s? Im not sure how old he was when he died, but what I do know is that he was at the very least middle aged. Which means he would have been born still right around the perfect time for him to at the very least know of that kind of dancing! Because the Lindy Hop entered the mainstream culture and the dance really took off a little after the 1930s.
I'm guessing the dancing mimzy did, since she made it sound like it was a challenge to keep up with her, was something similar to that style of dancing even though it was never mentioned in specifics tbh
My point is, considering that Vox and Ulstor used to know each other, and maybe worked together?? It is entirely possible for them both to have had an appreciation of swing dancing, and I love the idea of Alastor introducing Vox to Mimzy (I'm guessing she might still be a dancer/singer at older clubs in hell that might still do swing dancing because why else would that still be her whole bit?) And them dancing at her club (maybe together 👀👀)
I'm SO delighted you brought up the Lindy Hop specifically because I had a whole conversation about Alastor being into it the other day. I actually didn't realize it was officially established as a type of dance only around 1928, so I'm going to gratuitously smudge the timeline of reality (or just point to the fact that it was created as an evolution of different African American solo dances that existed and were performed in Alastor's time)!
BUT I think it fits Alastor really well! On top of being in-line with Mimzy's implications of dancing together being a challenge, being able to jump like 6 feet into the air like a deer seems like a basic skill requirement. The deer boy would thrive.
As for Vox: I just think it would be hilarious if he tried anything like that shortly after he first died or back when he and Alastor were on friendlier terms, and the giant TV head was just. A non-starter. Thank goodness he has a 10 foot tall boyfriend with stilts for legs for him to dive between now, HAH.

Hi! I'm honestly excited that tumblr recommended me a good blog for once. It's nice to see other trans ppl living their best life out here.
Anyway, I hope you don't mind a question, but I'm currently an undergrad and really interested in grad school. idk how applicable your experience would be since im a comp sci student, but what's it like in grad school? how accepting has it been of trans people for you? do you have any recommendations on what to do to increase the chance of getting in?
p.s. idk a ton about biochemistry or genetics, but i have a friend who's super into it (he's also planning on going to grad school for it lol), and I love hearing him talk about it. so I'm also curious as to what you're doing :o
Grad school is broken up into phases in my experience, which is dependent on institution and major. For me, year one is classes and rotations, the latter of which is 7 week trials in a lab of interest to get a feel for their work and the lab social and mentor environ. Classes generally compose discussing research techniques and recent publications, and test you on your ability to read research literature and understand it as well as propose follow up investigations. Year two is finishing classes and starting work on your thesis projects, as well as completing preliminary exams, which for biochem are written (grant proposal) and oral (ppt presentation of grant proposal). Year two has less classes than year one and your actual lab work dominates most of your time. Year 3, 4, and 5 are basically spent having a full time job as a senior lab researcher where you are expected to learn your local field well enough to come up with an idea and pursue it to discover or demonstrate something novel in the form of your thesis, as well as publish at least one paper on your work in the meantime.
My institution has not had any issues with trans ppl in my experience. I came out to my lab in Oct of 2023, and gradually to my classmates and the wider program over the following months. Administrative staff and professors have been very on the ball with my pronouns and chosen name, and our program recently got a new professor who is also a trans woman. I won't say which institution to reduce the amount i dox myself, but safe to say I'm content in regards to my treatment as a transgender person.
Getting into grad school usually requires demonstrated undergraduate research or a gap period of research employment after undergrad. I did some undergraduate work (though not strictly in my field) and a year of relevant employment after undergrad. 3 months into said employment I applied for grad school lol which was a little earlier than usually advised bc i hadn't been there long. (My post-bac PI was very demanding and restrictive so I wanted out ASAP). The main things grad schools are looking for is are you able to talk about research you're doing now, what research you want to do, and why you've chosen their institution. They want you to demonstrate you have an interest in researching topics they have professors willing to support, and also that you have the problem solving and data analysis skills to adequately perform research work and operate semi-independently. Having undergraduate or post-bac research that you can explain in detail why you did certain things, what the motivation is, what the goal is, etc is how you prove your worth to grad recruiters (who are usually professors looking for students).
My work is specifically focused on the use of short synthetic peptides to sense the activity of kinases, which regulate pathways in the human body related to growth, division, and apoptosis. When kinases are disregulated it causes various diseases, but it's hard to test drugs for many of these kinases bc there aren't effective monitors for their activity that don't get a lot of false positives due to overlapping signal pathways. The use of synthetic peptides with certain sequences gets around that issue of false positives, and they can be modified to provide information about how effectively a kinase is binding and interacting with the peptide, which would change under exposure to effective inhibitor drugs for those kinases. TL;DR I make little bits of protein to bind other broken proteins and tell me when they're turned on so other ppl can design drugs to turn them off.
Pls let me know if you have any further questions, I apologize that I don't know any comp-sci majors so this might be wildly inaccurate in some regards. XD

im not op but im gonna bounce off on it still!!!! mt such a great analysis i love what youre saying about how the narrative in tyk works, how through recontextualization (either by the narrative itself, shifting angles at a later date, or the reader when rereading the novel) things come to light that were intentionally or by happenstance hidden before. many thoughts regarding narrative and how it works (and how zzs makes use of it). this topic specifically has my brain rotting since i first read the novel. tyk has always felt like a tragedy disguised as a comedy to me, youre putting it so well. anyway, this is not an analysis but your words (and also op‘s words) reminded me of the scene in ch.8 (i think) when wenzhou are in the forest and investigate these two sudden murders and follow wkx‘s underling into the abandoned graveyard. especially the scene at the graveyard, told through zzs‘s eyes, is so super interesting to me. i imagine in other wuxia stories this would be atmospheric, spooky, maybe intimidating and creepy. but zzs seems so unimpressed! he relays the atmospheric markers (he remarks on the state of the graveyard, mentions the rat with its red eyes, the single owl perching utop the branch, the odd fog) but narrates it in such a way that the first time reading it, it sounded jarring and almost comical to me. it gets even weirder by wkx starting with his ghost stories and trying to impress zzs, who continues to not be impressed at all. i feel like, since zzs is such a die hard jianghu fanboy, and this is basically his first time doing jianghu things (and he seems to be aware that this scenario is characteristically wuxia), he is basically not just narrating whats happening but also commenting upon it from the angle of someone who had higher expectations and is very eager to follow that path to its end to see what turns up, but doesnt really seem all that moved when happening upon these things in reality. zzs is not the usual wuxia hero, and tyk is very earnest in taking these differences and zzs‘s familiarity with violence seriously and has zzs react and act in authentic ways. like, when they find that murder scene in the woods upon following the scream, and immediately start their weird investigation-flirting-insulting and wkx goes and casually pulls that guy whos hanging in a tree to the ground so they can have a better look at it, and it just severs the poor guy’s head. thats so fucked up and strange!!!!! but its so downplayed its actually jarring!!!! its almost comical!!!!! anyway hello hi hello mt!!!! i didnt mean to write so much i just have a lot of thoughts hehehehe
hahaha hello!!!! Sorry I took so much time to respond!!
Yes yes to all this!! Essentially answering so this can be out in the open hehehe. One thing that I feel like reacting to, though---translating Qi Ye, I recently stumbled upon several references of ZZS being a "seasoned jianghu traveller" and having had a lot of experience in jianghu already; so I guess we can conclude that he does have experience in jianghu (only that he left it around 8-9 years ago) but that he probably always had a remote look at it, from the shadows from which Siji operated. This time, he gets to "play" too, in a way. I feel like, given how smug he tends to sound when bringing up Siji's skills and activities, he may have this sort of patronizing look on the "sillier", more "classical" strange wuxia adventures, which he has been able to watch but almost like a puppet master (since Siji controlled a lot of the politics etc) and his fun, curious, detached and "demystifying" approach could be reflecting that. Anyway, thank you so much for the thoughts!!!

yapping (positive) about Activities
at some point maybe i will ask my friend to video me climbing a v3 . i have video of myself climbing a v0 or v1 but it feels weird to post it bc i was already above that level at the time .
its kind of strange for me to be excited about Sport. i was rly into cycling when I was living in fl and I'd love to go bike consistently when the weather's nice but the area i live in now has such narrow roads and way fewer bike lanes and significantly steeper hills than when i lived in fl which makes biking harder for me. I'd like have to take my bike onto the metro to commute to somewhere im not terrified of getting hit by a car
maybe ill look into that actually. i know of one specific place that would be good for that but unfortunately it's not even remotely close to me. theres gotta be something closer . in the meantime I could bike to my morning shift , tho the way back tends to be more traffic-y than the way there and the busiest road on that route doesn't have a bike lane I haaaaaate it when theres no bike lane . I gotta look for somewhere safer.
anyway bouldering has been so good for me. it's a puzzle so it keeps the adhd brain engaged while also being a physical activity that encourages me to resort to bug scuttling and mountain goat behavior and i really really like it . my endurance has gotten noticeably better and my grip strength improved a lot!! I can open way more work kids' lunch thermoses without having to put on my clown shoes and jingle over to a stronger coworker.
theres a little weights area at the climbing gym and while i dont see myself going out of my way to Lift my friend did teach me how to set myself up to learn to do pull ups!! which is very exciting because when you're not strong enough to lift your own body weight you use a big silly rubber band and that's fun ! I fear I will lose interest when the novelty wears off. but hopefully it doesnt because my arms are pretty weak and I want to be able to throw children effortlessly into the pool (if they ask me to, obviously) like my stronger coworkers
i gotta do smth about my bad posture & weak core tho :/ im not sure how useful core strength is in bouldering??? it might be and im just not at the skill level where that's relevant yet. who's to say . anyway hopefully I go tomorrow...!!

Just saw a tag on one of your posts ("#*shaking* fucking ask me about their classpects - ask me about their classpects i fucking dare") and I for one would absolutely love to hear about the classpects you've been coming up with!! :)
WHWHHW and im GLAD YOU ASKED >:]]
ty anon for taking one for the team - i've been rehearsing this very moment uvu
Tumblr media
TLDR Bdubs is a  KNIGHT OF TIME and Etho a MAGE OF BREATH
I tend to ramble so explanations will be UNDER THE CUT
I wrote a lot of this beforehand in notes and to ppl on priv but to preface I use @//dahniwitchoflight ‘s posts when classpecting - good read recommend checking them out if you’re interested!
[ BDUBS : Knight of Space ] Ok so I like firstly rly wanted Bdubs to be a Time player (obvious clock reasons) but truthfully Space is rly HIS aspect as it is often associated with ‘the bigger picture’, objects and creativity -- art.
“Bdubs isn’t a builder, he’s an artist.” - Scar talking about Bdubs’ and his builds and he was sooo right for that. Not just by his builds either but like,,, dude have you SEEN when he draws? When he paints??? Inspirational one of my favourite environmental artists period. This summary by Dahni I think explains him quite well:
“This makes it so Space is grand and can look at things at a higher perspective than others. It is run much more by a strong sense of intuition, and inner knowing of how things are meant to be, without being able to express the specifics in clear detail. They paint things with broad strokes and without clear lines between differences. Considering each difference to actually be a subtle variation of the same thing. Space is also very grounded in the present, very focused on the here and now, and can seem very unconcerned with the future consequences of any decisions they may or may not make. Instead relying on their inner understanding that things are happening the way they are meant to happen and even if small details are different, the larger expression of the idea remains the same.”
That thing about being grounded in the present fits him so well too applying to how he plays in the Life Series. Often in situations where he has to think fast, improvise, unless instigated by someone he trusts, he can form strong alliances but he can break them just as easily. The present and hence what’s happening In The Moment matters to him a lot.
I gave him the KNIGHT class by definition, his role is to “Use his aspect to do [goal] and exploit Space” , using the land to make something useful and something pretty. Especially evident in the Life Series, using the land he’s given and with what he can grab hold of, he tactically crafts them in a way that both looks and has (defensive) purpose: >3L! The Crastle in general, unless broken in forcibly, defensively it is indestructible and (from what I remember) was one of the only landmarks in 3rd Life to survive in one piece. She was perfect u_u,,, >LL! Ice Fort I could go on abt the the ethubs symbolism in the materials they pick- but the fort is built in a way that is used to hinder the movement of enemies (soul sand floors, snowy walls)  whilst putting them on a physical high ground advantage. >DL! Mid Century Modern House. While from appearance the most harmless-looking of bases from an outside it’s probably one of the most sustainable. Easy access to crops, livestock, horseys, to even an easy escape route/panic room when things get worse. Not to mention it was the only base that survived the Boat Boy’s wrath (but maybe that was cuz those couples were close but i digress) All these builds and his builds in all his series are just very pretty! This trait is also very prevalent in his redstone :]
I also read that Knights of Space are like “jacks of all trades” - He’s very skilled at a lot of stuff and Knight of Space made me think of him ^u^!!
[ ETHO : Mage of Breath ] Tbh not AS certain for his classpect but so far I interpret him as very free-spirited, he kinda gets to do what he wants- he’s also very flexible and adaptive without needing to necessarily change himself for anyone in compare to the Mind aspect that deals with switching between roles/masks to fit a situation. Like,,, in the life series he doesn’t Need to adopt a persona or roleplay a role to be interesting when him being himself is entertaining enough etc etc (?) BUT the mind aspect for its sense of balance and rational thinking fits him also -- I just like him as a Breath player :>
Instead focused the logic component of Etho for this analysis comes from his mage class “One who knows/with Breath” by experiencing their aspect-freedom. Etho as a mage of breath I’d constantly on the move whether willingly or by force.
“They know every loophole and twist and turn and can navigate their way around even unfamiliar territory. For some reason I could see a Mage of Breath being very good at parkour type activities. They’ve been forcibly moved around, had their roots torn up more than once, so they’ve learned to quickly settle into strange places or pack up shop and get out without a trace as they need.” “They understand how to give themselves more options in almost any situation, how to place any odds in their favor as needed. They can weasel out of anything.“
To me explains his play style in the life series quite well, especially with the tactical makeshift alliances etc. 
Also I read somewhere knights unconsciously gravitate towards knowing classes like mages and I find that very fitting :]
-
Maybe I’ll expand on these one day - im sure theres like hundreds of evidence that could support these from other serieses they’ve done/been a part of. But for now using the life series and pieces of hermitcraft acts as a good starter point when psyche and The Social Game in those serves as a great source when thinking about stuff like this!

"If you think it is my husband you should fear, you are nothing more than a fool."
Im dubbing this the tigermom au, where Misako had a legit reason to leave Lloyd, and it was to put fear of god in the hearts of destinies writers the moment they hear the Garmadon name. (In the meanwhile getting stuck in a time loop/trap)
Honestly I just feel like she COULD be a really cool character, if her abandoning Lloyd with no fair explanation didn't weigh her down. She pretty effortlessly rizzed both sons of god, and is one of the few non EMs shown doing spinjitzu. Also was quite good at it, if we can believe Wu. Tho I think she could do a bit more sass. (She was sassy like twice, and I live for it. Also sassy Lloyd, but that doesn't belong here)
Here are a few scattered ideas:
° When she hears the prophecy, she realises the only way to save her family is to rewrite destiny. Good thing she knows where to do that
° Using her archeology/history background she begins looking for ways to move amongst realms
° She leaves Lloyd at Darkleys (only for a few weeks, she swears) temporarily. Why Darkleys? Well, he probably would be safer with his father idolized rather than despised (see the movie for example)
° I'm not sure of the deets, maybe Travelers tea or some other method, but she leaves for Cloud Kingdom (or perhaps Time blades shenanigans, but honestly, I want her to punch Fenwicks jaw trough his skull.)
° Not looking for a nice chitchat with the people who broke her family, she wreaks havoc amongst the denizens of CK, looking for two specific scrolls
° Eventually they kick her out with joined efforts, and she returns dejected. The worst she expected was Lloyd starting a Garmadon cult amongst the students, not her son all grown up, hanging out with a bunch of teens in pajamas.
° I want to make her showing up more impactful. I want Wu and the ninja to be surprised, I want her to be devastated when she puts two amd two together (she doesn't know about tomorrows tea, so it seems even worse). I want her to mourn the time lost, but still be determined to make it up somehow.
° Note, that while it's not nearly as bad, she still had the attitude, of fighting her way out of her problems over trying to raise Lloyd into not killing his dad. This could be a character flaw to explore, and it could make Lloyd more drawn to her, since her attitude is quite a bit similar to Kai's
Sidenote, I know that sounds like Maya over again, but it does't need it to be similar really. I like to actually make Ray and Mayas kidnapping make sense, with Krux knocking them out with the tea, kidnapping them, and THEN forcing them to stay with the "I know where your babies live" threat.
So while Maya was kidnapped, Misako would have left willingly, albeit, for longer than she meant to.
But let's get to the mom part shall we?
° Honestly, outside of making Misako more interesting, this is a bit self indulgent, because I think Lloyd should have a healthy outlet, since trauma dumping Akita is not really an option now
° Lloyd would be conflicted, not being able to hate her, but still, she was never there
° "You don't have to forgive me"
"It's okay, you didn't mean to..."
"But it still hurts doesn't it? You can let it out"
° I know, it's harder to manage more characters, but I want her to BE there for her son, also let's scrap Wusako, I wanna make her love Garmadon, to the very end, even if it's tragic.
° She won't leave when going gets tough, and she would offer her own fighting skills to help too
Just some fun extras:
° She showed up to the Monastery after some rumors about demigods living there, to examine the place. The spinjitzu brothers found her, she used some incredibly stupid pickup line with fingerguns, and procedeed to steal both their hearts
° She's got rizz that literally only works on these two.
° The spinjitzu brothers would stare down any EM who dares question her presence, and she fucking knows it.
° Will watch with a shit eating grin as Wu lectures, and Garmadon threatens the poor sap
° Since Maya is the overenthusiastic mom, I will make Misako the bad influence mom, who makes her son do dumb shit kids his age should do (and 100% joins in, cause, whose gonna tell her she can't?)
° Lloyd inherited his grandfathers hair, his father's eyes, and his mom's face.
° I just find it funny if Lloyd showed up to CK, and everyone was hostile/angry towards him. And Lloyd being Lloyd would assume it's about his dad, since it always is. Except not now.
° "YOU! I know who you are! You are that woman's son!"
° "...Yeah, he is my fa- wait, what?"
° "Hey, look, looks like your mom made quite a mess for ya"
° " Which only means even more people hate me so thanks MOM."
° Lloyd is the house cat, if he doses off on you, you are not allowed to get up/disturb him (I like to think it started when he was little, but since he is still the youngest mentally, it stuck). The ninja (and his family) strictly enforce this, even on random visitors who fall under the cat-curse. This is not even really Misako related just Cat Lloyd? Cat Lloyd.
° ... Also, I think he should have a ponytail. (Seriously, that hair would be realistically such a hassle while fighting. Pull that hair back, so you can SEE you dingbat)
Just... I mean, Lloyd and Garmadon are already cat coded according to the fanbase, why not give them a feral wildcat mom/wife? She will hiss at anyone who messes with them, don't worry.

I really really like that long post you did about making art. especially: 'i have somehow convinced myself that, if i maybe try a little bit, not exceptionally hard, but only a little bit, maybe i will somehow magically be good enough and worthy of critical praise.'
I spend all my time thinking about the beautiful or ""groundbreaking"" things I would make but no time actually doing it. and then when I attempt to create something the actual discomfort of physically drawing, writing or even coding is so unlike the idealised version in my brain that I have to stop because it is so frustrating. I wish I could be the sort of person who decides to spend hours upon hours perfecting a craft. but I just cant. weirdly I've come to terms with it. theres a whole world of art that exists just for me in my head. maybe one day ill be able to translate it into reality. but for now, im just going to be happy with the dual presence of my shitty real art and my lovely art thats just for me.
(also: I dont think your posts are lacking. the way you use language is unexpected and hilarious. I like it a lot.)
we should have a word for the terminal need for validation but lack of any and all discipline ... seems like a relatively new phenomena. i'm considering the strong possibility that it's a widespread result as the death of the "hobby"... however many years ago i imagine it was normal to just do something for yourself, because you love doing it. in fact i see a lot of my friends parents still doing stuff such as this.
i have a lot of friends whose dads make eps and albums for fun. for them only. no wishing on a star for it to blow up overnight. none of that. security in the quality of it. security in how far it probably won't reach. now that security, of course, could just come with age. but i suspect there's a generational parasite.
we were all raised with Numbers. the follower count, the like count, these are burned into our psyche. a neurosis coiled tightly around an objective metric of validation. a handful of years ago such a neurosis couldn't even exist! and it especially couldn't exist in a matter of seconds or minutes. your value as a person is a pair of dice that you roll and you snatch them back the moment you see snake eyes. almost all of the amateur art, music, writing we are exposed to has a number right under it. you don't get to evaluate it yourself. there is immediately a pavlovian connection, i like this thing, this thing has this number attached to it, if i can get a number like that i'm worthy of coexisting with this thing.
there's an almost instant dissociation between the craft, the skill, the time, and the FRUIT. what you get back. we are almost trained to care more about how popular something is than how good it is. not like, hollywood productions, or Columbia Records' chart topping album by a thirty something with A&R parents, but how popular someone just like you is on the internet. a plausible professional with a twitter account who draws whatever they want. someone you could relate to. someone you could be.
but because you want the numbers you skip the learning... you make something and put it out. and you keep doing this. your learning is public, your honing of the craft is documented before an audience of hopefully thousands. and you see what they respond to. and their responses steer the direction of your learning. you never have an opportunity to make something shitty. make something no one likes. experiment. you just keep feeding the computer. and it works until the point where you want to do something else, or something real, or something better, or something serious, and realize you don't know how. and you're like Fuck Shit why did I hustle instead of learning in peace.
but of course this is all by design. the numbers can't teach themselves more numbers if you doodle in your sketchbook and don't show anyone. i'm not sure if it was ever a specific person's idea to make everyone's entire life a performance, but whoever engineered it did a damn fine job. takes a sledgehammer to break out of. oh well ! in a few generations i'm sure all of our skin will have glare dampeners evolved specifically to vlog better with. and everyone will have forgotten what it's like to do something in your room, by yourself, because you like to do it

as someone who loves maxing out professions in wow, timegated reagents make me fucking cuhraaayyzeeeeeee. like to skill up in bfa cooking you have to either wait for specific world quests to be up or you have to grind out reputation just to get "rank 2" of a recipe you already know but it uses fewer reagents or w/e and grants skill points again. or in legion even NOMI had a command table of sorts where he'd "research" and you'd HOPE youd get those recipe scraps til you could combine ten and get a new one. but as a tailor i know im gonna be haunted by all those appearances i can't unlock yet because they all require sparks, sometimes TWO!!, and i cant just churn em out. im still working on damn BFA!!! tailoring appearances because they require reagents from eternal palace and nyalotha—not even for the recipe itself but for a "loom" (abyssal focus) to craft it at.
like on one hand maybe they didn't want players to be able to craft themselves a "raid-grade " set—which like, why? BC and wrath you could easily craft yourself a raid-ready set; hell even in the vanilla felcloth and mooncloth sets were pretty useful. it was time-gated in its own way i guess (could only make cloth once a day at a specific location) but if someone REALLY wanted to they could get reagents on the AH. and at the same time i dont know why there aren't 'base' versions of the recipes, or why sparks themselves are tiered. it seems like with primal infusions and all the fixins they added you could just make the base item and then "socket" it when recrafting to be a higher ilevel. especially because it requires a matching spark to use it! like!!! why require a spark (cap 395) AND a matching infusion (cap 408) just for the smallest ilevel upgrade? this late in the xpac these items are useless. why wouldnt they just roll over/consolidate, or better yet be currency (e.g. crests)?
Tumblr media
so not only am i just dumping them into something i'll vendor (since i just want the appearance), i cant even do the whole crafting order roulette through my alts and get them upgrades out of it. it's two entire sparks to craft one of the inscription staves just to be able to skill up my inscription, which means i'm wasting sparks (a time gated resource) and also NOT getting a worthwhile item out of it because my scribe's skill points arent high enough to craft a higher quality item because he needs sparks to skill up aaaaaaaaaaaaaa
basically all im saying is that dragonflight profession gear/appearances are not gonna be very retroactive-friendly. since i missed a chunk of this xpac im already way behind in terms of gathering sparks and have no way to catch up just to complete content that's already irrelevant (save for collection/maxing/transmog).

lotus dragon is more of a lazy lover — preferring to take things slow and prioritising the aesthetic of sex and arousal over the act itself at times
they’re very into decorative bondage and enjoy tying you up with rich silks and rope and just admiring you
in a similar vein enjoys showing you off to others during intimacy — like they’ll be pleasuring you and have all of their closest followers watch
on occasion they have been known to let the most loyal of their subjects join in and start touching you (which has led to a number of orgies)
they cover you in jewels and the finest of fabrics — though what clothing you’re given tends to be both intricately patterned and very minimal
their favourite pieces to see on you are: a set of lacy lingerie in their colours, a tiny thong with lots of jewellery covering your chest, and a silk robe (also in their colours) that hangs off of your shoulder and barely comes half way down your thighs
they’re also a big fan of intoxicated sexual intimacy and are incredibly attentive when you’re high — but they also tend to take advantage of the skewed power dynamic whenever you’re in such a compromising state
loves giving and receiving oral equally and has been known to encourage you to go down on them during meetings with the other dragons or even their citizens or visitors
is an expert at keeping you on the edge of release for as long as they need — or, conversely, keeping you in a state of perpetual overstimulation until they tire of it
free use would definitely be a thing in your relationship — skewed in their favour, of course — which would inevitably lead to things like somnophilia and public sex
mutual masturbation will be frequent as they love watching you pleasure yourself for them and want to reciprocate it
they’re a very selfish lover and take what they need or want from you irrespective of what you wish — but they will stop if you call the safe word or are being physically harmed by their actions in the moment
praise and dirty talk are one and the same for them and their skill at it is so proficient that they’ve been able to make people climax from their words alone
isn’t as big on physical marking as their fellow dragons, but they will brand you with their symbol just above your sex — more out of habit than anything else
tends to call you ‘my flower’ or ‘my pet’ or other such semi-demeaning, possessive names in bed
if you are particularly soft or larger bodied, then they’ll take a lot of enjoyment out of finding positions that show off your curves and swells the most (likewise for the clothing they buy)
