PART 1 OF 3.5 [PREMATURELY ENDED]
**There will be no more updates unfortunately. I've been ghosted. :(
MASSIVE TW'S: CNC, STALKING, RAPE FANTASY, ETC ETC. Basically if you are triggered by intense, dark kinks or sex, please do not read. I do not censor words.
*tagging under #repressedh0e's adventures
Aight so, I can't tell anyone else this because they'd probably call the cops lmao, but I know I can tell y'all freaksss about what happened today. Essentially, I'm being VERY marinated in a cnc stalking scenario for the very first time... Finally! And according to him, it's going to be a very slow burn for anticipation.
--------------
So, I've been talking to this local guy for a lil bit that's very, very much into cnc just like I am (and y'all, he's a whole FOOT AND 2 INCHES taller than me, and has the biggest fucking cock I've ever seen. I'm not even lying - this man is going to rip my little, only-had-sex-with-one-person body to SHREDS). Once we both got a good vibe, we moved towards more kinky territory, talking about safe words, limits, and scenarios for when we eventually meet. He then asked me to send a single photo outside of my bedroom window, and promised he'd find me.
Intrigued, I sent it. I can see my city from my window. Beautiful, really.
But within 15 minutes, he sent me a live snap of my apartment building with the caption: Found you, princess. After losing my shit (in a good way), I confirmed it was my building, and he said he actually lives really close by.
I suspect you're in a corner apartment, 2nd or 3rd story, I'm not sure yet but I'll figure it out. I say nothing. I'm not giving any hints. I'm impressed by his perception at this point. But I am, in fact, on a corner on the 2nd story. How will you figure that out? I ask in innocent curiosity. All I get back is a 🤫 emoji.
And then, maybe 3 hours later, I get a random snap - a chat that simply says, I have a question, Isa. I told him to shoot, go ahead and ask!, and again, he simply asks:
Do you have a fan in your window?
I freak the fuck out (again, in a good way), and confirm that, um, yes... I enjoy the cold, and why do you ask?
About a second goes by, and he sends a live snap of MY 2ND STORY BEDROOM WINDOW with the caption, You can't see me, but I can see you.
How the FUCK this man was able to tell it was my window in a fully wrapped around 6 story apartment building, just by the angle of my one photo, was astounding. I was truly perplexed.
I then get another ding before I can truly wrap my brain around what was happening.
Turn your light off.
I do as I'm told.
I then receive a live video of my bedroom window, with the light shutting off.
I freak out a third time (y'all already know I'm soaking by now), but I realize I couldn't see him. There were 4 cars a little ways down the street, parked in the night. Any of them could've been him. None of them could've been him. I can't see you.. Is all I managed to type out through trembling fingers. It was so intense, and I was so turned on, I barely knew what I was saying at this point.
His response: Good. Let's keep it that way... For now.
Not long after as I'm continuing to try to look into any and every vehicle, I receive a live video. It's him stroking his massive cock in his car with the caption, You know what I want.
Y'all. When I say I about came undone, I MEAN IT. My heart is pounding, my pussy and inner thighs are both absolutely drenched. The moment is so thick with sexual tension, and I'm so entranced in it, I could've sworn I saw god at that point lmao.
But I continue looking out the window, my light still off so I can see into the night. But nothing. All is still. And finally, the car in the very front down the street slowly drives away.
About 5 minutes go by, and it feels like a lifetime, before I receive a chat: You're so close to me. I'll be watching. Waiting. Checking on you every time I go out. Stroking my cock outside your apartment until the day I can finally tear those holes apart.
--------------
Y'all, I... have been dreaming of living out a stalking scenario since I started becoming interested in sex as a teenager. I begged my ex, and while they were into cnc, it was never like this.
Never in my life did I ever imagine these scenarios to be so intense in real life. It's so damn different when it's really happening. Intense, I use that word a lot but there's legitimately no other way to explain it. Exhilarating, even. Psychologically it fucks with you, because you truly never know when they're looking at you. He could be outside right now as I'm typing this, stroking that huge cock, thinking about raping my holes, and I genuinely wouldn't know it. And it turns me on so, so much.
I absolutely cannot wait to see what else happens. 🫣
***DISCLAIMER: yes, I'm being safe!! I've told my roommate and another good friend all about him/the entire situation and the man was of course good with that as well. I'm very willing in this situation, and incredibly aware of any red flags that could arise, pls don't worry<3***

The Ultimate Thread Of Koincidences (2020) Part 2
Ok, I exceeded the pictures limit. So here's part two of all the Koincidences I could find for 2020.
If you haven't seen the other part, I highly suggest you do before reading this one:
Fall of 2019 (X)
2020 Part 1 (X)
As always, I'll include links to posts about specific part of Kaylor Lore to give more context. So when there's a (X) beside something it's to give you more information and help you understand better.
July 23rd:
Where we left off.
Karlie also posted that day a video for Kode With Klossy with a code. And in the code you can read really well : "Easter Egg"
Tumblr media
July 24th:
Folklore is out.
So many references to Karlie in there.
But two things worth mentioning:
That line.
Tumblr media
Source: Kwyw
And the fact that baby is the 13th word after Levi in cardigan:
Tumblr media
Also. Shoutout to the Cardigan's merch that has three stars just like Karlie's Express bomber's jacket (from 2017).
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
Thanks Vegasborn on Twitter for finding this.
Another thing worth mentioning is that in Big Sur, there's a vineyard called Folktale and the font is really close to Folklore's.
Tumblr media
Still July 24th
Kimby post a bunch of pictures of Big Sur on Instagram
Tumblr media
July 25th:
Kimby likes a Folklore meme on Instagram:
Tumblr media
AND
Karlie likes a post of Christian Siriano that says that mentions Taylor.
Tumblr media
ALSO
This is the day of the infamous : "OMG did you just called me "daddy"?" tweet.
Tumblr media
July 26th:
Martha Hunt does a post wearring a Cardigan with the caption "Peter losing Wendy"
Karlie liked that post
Tumblr media Tumblr media
July 27th:
Derek did a post about Cardigan on Twitter. (I can no longer find it).
Tumblr media
July 30th
Taylor comment a tweet with two fairies emojis....
Tumblr media
Just like Karlie's caption on her post dancing in a Cardigan, 13 days before Folklore's release...
Tumblr media
Also.
Karlie does a post on Twitter wich is a recall of a 2015 photoshoot, where she posed as Betty Crocker...
With the caption:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
August 2020:
August 3rd:
Karlie's Birthday. Exile becomes a Radio single.
This is one of the two tracks where William Bowery has writting credits.
August 17th:
Betty becomes a radio single.
Still in Karlie's birthday month.
It's the second track where William Bowery has writting credits on.
August 18th:
The Lakes official lyrics video is out.
"I don't belong, and my beloved neither do you"
August 20th
Karlie does a YouTube video on Klossy.
Lots to unpack in this video.
Let's start with how it tied to The Lakes and those lyrics.
One of the books she presents is nammed "Beloved".
Tumblr media
Also. Behind her, the firs clok on the wall is the same as the clock in Cardigan's MV, without the mechanism and glass.
Tumblr media
And another very cute Koincidence is this:
youtube
youtube
Novembre 2020:
Novembre 13th:
Taylor has her Musicians on Musicians interview with Paul McCartney. (X)
So many interesting things in that interview...
We learn that Taylor was in LA when lockdown happened... and so was Karlie.
2. This whole part about Peace. She is litteraly describing her relationship with Karlie and the Love Blackout.
Swift: That’s the best. I want to hear current things, too, to update me on where the artist is. I was wondering about lyrics, and where you were lyrically when you were making this record. Because when I was making Folklore, I went lyrically in a total direction of escapism and romanticism. And I wrote songs imagining I was, like, a pioneer woman in a forbidden love affair [laughs]. I was completely …
McCartney: Was this “I want to give you a child”? Is that one of the lines?
Swift: Oh, that’s a song called “Peace.”
McCartney: “Peace,” I like that one.
Swift: “Peace” is actually more rooted in my personal life. I know you have done a really excellent job of this in your personal life: carving out a human life within a public life, and how scary that can be when you do fall in love and you meet someone, especially if you’ve met someone who has a very grounded, normal way of living. I, oftentimes, in my anxieties, can control how I am as a person and how normal I act and rationalize things, but I cannot control if there are 20 photographers outside in the bushes and what they do and if they follow our car and if they interrupt our lives. I can’t control if there’s going to be a fake weird headline about us in the news tomorrow.
McCartney: So how does that go? Does your partner sympathize with that and understand?
Swift: Oh, absolutely.
McCartney: They have to, don’t they?
Swift: But I think that in knowing him and being in the relationship I am in now, I have definitely made decisions that have made my life feel more like a real life and less like just a storyline to be commented on in tabloids. Whether that’s deciding where to live, who to hang out with, when to not take a picture — the idea of privacy feels so strange to try to explain, but it’s really just trying to find bits of normalcy. That’s what that song “Peace” is talking about. Like, would it be enough if I could never fully achieve the normalcy that we both crave? Stella always tells me that she had as normal a childhood as she could ever hope for under the circumstances.
3. That part where Taylor has many questions about fame and having kids.
Swift: Did that give you a lot of anxiety when you had kids, when you felt like all this pressure that’s been put on me is spilling over onto them, that they didn’t sign up for it? Was that hard for you?
Novembre 17th:
Karlie announces her pregnancy online.
She also wears the Amulette de Cartier.
Tumblr media
Novembre 22nd:
Taylor does the biggest lie of all time.
There's also the Swift-Kloss Family Crest in the frame on the table.
VERY important piece of Kaylor Lore (X)
Tumblr media
Novembre 24th:
Did Karlie just announced the first re-record? (she did announce Folklore in advance as well as Midnights and Speak Now and so much more).
Also eye theory.
Tumblr media
Novembre 25th:
Long Pond Studio Session is released on Disney +
There's A LOT of hints to Karlie in there:
She wears the same boots that she wore at Big Sur.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
She wears a ring called "Soleil" (sun).
Almost the same as she wore in Cardigan MV
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And she wears a daisy shirt
Tumblr media
Another interesting thing. Is that part where she talks about who William Bowery is.
And Jack is like : "I thought you were doing a bit when you said "Joe and I wrote a song"... I thought it was gonna be like when people write cute songs about their animals "
Karlie's dog is nammed Joe...
youtube
Decembre 2020:
Decembre 1st:
Spotify wrap is out. And in Taylor's there's two adult cats and a baby cat.
And a post-it saying : It still feels like March.
(Levi was born on March 11th)
Also the post it seems to point where the possible due date.
The Grammy's were pushed back only in January, so she had no way to know they would happen in March yet.
Tumblr media

There you have it! All the Koincidences I could find for 2020.
If there's some missing, don't hesitate to tell me so I can add it.
Here's the two masterposts that hepled me make this one: (X) (X)

YouTuber AU Update
Okay, I'll be posting (hopefully) the first of several drabbles pertaining to the YouTuber AU
So, here shall be all the stuff I discussed earlier just as a refresher for those interested! Information under the cut!
ALSO!! If you want tagged for each drabble, please let me know somehow!! Either reply or reblog or straight up send an ask/dm. I want to make sure these drabbles hit their target audience lol
Gaz gets convinced to start a gaming channel. It starts out with him, Soap, and Alex until Ghost joins.
Gaz's channel name is *drumroll*
Gaz Falls Down
It seems mildly boring, if I'm being honest, but it quickly becomes a running joke cause it seems every game that you can fall off the map or take fall damage, he manages to do it. It started out with Soap and Alex making fun of his lack of luck with helicopters, but then he realized he's good at finding fall damage/weird places to fall down in games.
Anyways, the drabbles will all be depicted as if I were describing the video to you. So like for example, I'll say something like "Alex's character figure slowly turns to look at him as Gaz wheezes with laughter, his head falling forward out of his camera's view."
Or even "The view zooms into Soap's character, the blank, haunted expression amplified as the Scot gasps for breath."
Sometimes, I'll describe how the video is suddenly just Gaz's face cam, or I'll add that their words are accentuated by captions or something.
Those aren't perfect sentences, but they should give y'all an idea of what to expect for the drabbles! They'll make more sense when I post the first one, I promise

Is there a way to read all the comics in order? I have read a few out of order and love the characters but feel like I’m missing out
hellooo!! thank you so much for liking the characters and my stories!!! at the moment there's no set 'order' for any of my comics, whether they are for my various AUs or for starstruck's story
i've been meaning for months now to make a master post for my AUs, and as i've been working so much on starstruck's story lately (sorryyyyyyyyyyyyyy) i should probably also make one for her too. but as of right now, it's all just loose bits floating about my blog
that said, i think that the best "order" of the comics would likely always be in the order i released them. there is a clear chronological series of events in all my stories, but i definitely tend to release comics outside of that order
however, when i release a new piece- whether it's a comic, art piece, or even just text answer- i am keenly aware of exactly what i have revealed before, and what i'm revealing in each update. so while updates may not be in 'chronological order' of the story, they are in the order i hope will be satisfying for you as the reader, and an order that is satisfying for me to draw 😂
someone once pointed out that they felt most everything in my work (art, captions, tags) is incredibly intentional, and i was chuffed to see that, because i actually work quite hard to make sure it is 😂 i feel like this is a community that appreciates that sort of thing, so i've been endeavouring to make it an immersive experience for the folks who really wanna Go In on it? but if it ever gets pretentious or people genuinely hate it i'll obviously quit it omg;;
if you feel like something is not yet obvious or clear, there is quite a good chance it's not you missing out on something, but that it's intentionally being left vague to preserve some suspense! however if you ever want to check something like this and make sure i haven't revealed/answered something clearly somewhere, feel free to shoot me an ask and i can link you to any answers (if they exist)
until then, the current best way to find stuff 'in order' on my blog is by going through tags in chronological order. for starstruck in particular this is a little bit messy as there's also a lot of fanart or silly doodles that aren't Lore Related in her tag... maybe i should address that. it was all a bit sudden 😂
for now, the best i can really offer is a few of my tags with the chronological sorting feature added. let me know if this helps you find what you're looking for. otherwise like i said, always feel free to ask!
awtdy au chrono || starstruck dee chrono || my comics chrono

Commissions!
Hey all! I've decided it's about time I open up writing commissions, so here's a little post detailing how it's going to work!
First off, sending me a message is going to be by far the easiest way to contact me about comissions, NOT asks. I'll want to talk you you a little about the idea before we go any further (see rules 2 and 3 below), so start there and we can figure out what's going on. Secondly, as I've already mentioned, please check out the rules below. Details on pricing is at the bottom (rule 4) so keep that in mind when getting in contact.
How many commissions I take on at once will depend largely on the level of interest and my own writing mood, but I'll try to keep an update either on this post, on my pinned one, or in my bio as to if I'm open to them at the moment or not.
Anyway, without further ado here's the rules for commissioning me. Make sure you read them!
Rules:
1. reserve the right to say no to commissions.
Regardless of the reason, I may not give one, if I say no it's a no. Maybe I don't like the idea, maybe I'm busy with life or other commissions, maybe I'm just not in the mood to write at the moment or am working on new stories. Don't constantly hound me asking if I've changed my mind, I will just block you without hesitation. (Use common sense here, if you want to politely ask again if my time/mood was the issue I'm not going to bite your head off.)
Also, please keep in mind I have a life outside of this. If you message me asking about a commission and I don't respond straight away I'm probably just busy or asleep. I will reply to everyone that enquires though, it just might take me a second.
2. Be creative, but realistic.
Requests that just say "Turn me into a jock!" will likely get a no. Make it a little more interesting, come up with a plot or throw some more tf's in there. Not that there's anything wrong with a good jock tf, but there's only so many I can write.
Be realistic about the length too. I can't fit a hugely detailed tf AND a plot in 1000 words, it just won't happen. I'll leave some examples of rough length linked below so you have a rough idea.
500 words (Caption Series - The Wrong Trousers)
1000 words (Caption Series - Tailored)
1500 words (Shifting Gear Part 1)
2000 words (For Men)
3000 words (The Morning After)
If you're insane super generous and want examples of longer pieces than that I'll happily refer you to some.
3. Things I won't do.
Some of these go without saying:
Underage
Feet
Bathroom stuff (watersports, scat etc)
Hardcore pain/violence/rape
Chastity
Hyper/non-realistic sizes
Animal tf's (furry stuff welcome though)
Heavy female focus (gender tf is fine in either way, but I'm primarily a MALE tf author)
Celebrity tf's (more below on this one)
Don't ask, I won't write them.
As mentioned, I don't generally do celebrity tf's. "Turn me into Chris Evans!" style stuff. As much as there are a lot of very attractive celebrities, it's just never really interested me to become them specifically; original characters are usually more my thing. There is of course some flexibility with this, so if you're not sure you can always ask. If the idea is good enough (and the guy hot enough) maybe I'll make an exception, the worst I can say is no after all.
4. Payment & Delivery.
I charge £0.04 per word, which is equivalent to £40 per 1000 words, or £20 for 500 words. Payment is via PayPal, in full, up front. I won't start writing until I've been paid.
In terms of delivery, I write in Google docs, so will send you both a viewable link to that document and a pdf of the final thing provided you give me an email to send the pdf to. Otherwise you can save a pdf of the story yourself from there.
5. Images & Posting.
Final word on images included in these. You're welcome to bring your own you'd like me to write around. If not, I'm happy to attempt to find one's I deem appropriate for the particular story if you'd like me to, but I make no promises. If I can't find something that works or you don't like the selections I offer I won't go to great lengths to find something. These are writing commissions in the end, so keep that in mind.
I'll also include a word on posting these commissions here. If you specifically don't want me to post yours please let me know at some point during the process, otherwise I may post some of them here and there when I feel like it after they've been delivered. If you're happy for me to post the commission but would like to remain anonymous (i.e. not tagged in the post) do let me know as well. This one is an easy one to forget, so I'll follow up with you on posting after I've delivered it.
- Tf Lover
Tumblr media
Also, for those of you that don't want to or can't commission me, you can also tip me here on Tumblr, or over on ko-fi (link here)! You don't have to of course by any means, but any support people want to throw my way is always welcome.

Hiya! Hope you don’t mind but I just wanna say thank y’all sososo much for being able to find the Rag Dolly bootleg, and also posting it (with full not-auto-generated captions too!!)! Not only that but aaaall the other Raggedy Ann+Rag Dolly stuff you guys have found. One of my favorite things is when you can tell just how passionate someone is about something and I can see that sososo much in this group, you all have the sweetest candy hearts! 
Once you manage to revive this show (which I’m sure you will, y’all are very dedicated!) I’ll definitely go see it if I can!
I would totally join the discord server but I’m not allowed to have it and I’m too much of a scaredy cat to be a rule breaker 💔💔
Thank you so much for following the effort! We are always looking for new things and are so glad to know that people appreciate our work, it all feels worth it when we get messages like this.
Since you mentioned the possible revival, I'll say I haven't posted an update on legal proceedings publicly because, as of now, nothing is concrete. However, I will put it out there that in terms of licensing a revival, things are moving along efficiently and I'm excited for what the future holds.
For anyone who, like you, is unable to join our discord, we have a newsletter (which is in the pinned post) where we post important updates. Also-- just spreading the word helps us tremendously-- you don't have to be in the server to be a part of R.A.R.E.; supporting our work is enough!
Thanks so much for the ask!

Of Coffee and Cinnamon Rolls - Chapter 2
Pairing: TASM! Peter Parker x F!Reader
Rating: T
Story Summary: Peter's coffee maker has broken, leaving him in need of a caffeine fix. Luckily, there's a new coffee shop right by the Daily Bugle... With a beautiful barista inside.
Warnings/Tags: Meet-Cute, Coffee Shops, Strangers to Friends to Lovers, Dual, Alternating PoVs between Peter and Reader, minimal use of Y/N
Word Count: ~4k (this chapter got LONG)
A/N: It's taken me freaking FOREVER, but here we finally are with chapter 2! Hopefully future updates won't take me as long.
Tagging @tarzinnia since they've been patiently waiting for an update!!!
Ok, what else needs to be done? you thought to yourself as you bustled around the kitchen in your shop. You had worked your ass off to make your dream of owning your own business a reality, and today that dream was finally coming true, so needless to say... You were nervous.
You grabbed your to-do list off of the prep table and gave it a quick scan. Cookies are bagged, cake pops are finished, muffins are good to go, croissants are ready, banana bread is sliced, cinnamon rolls are done…  
You glanced at the clock. You had way more than enough time to shower and then relax for a bit before things would get busy again.
You made sure your oven was off before heading upstairs to your apartment above the shop. 
You hurried through a shower before changing into something nice enough to wear for your interview and photos, but still comfortable enough to work in.
And speaking of photos...
You grinned. Not only had you been pleasantly surprised to see the hot skater boy-esque customer from the morning come back into the shop in the afternoon right as you had decided to close, but you had been even more pleasantly surprised to find out that he worked for the Bugle and had been the one to suggest that they cover the opening for the paper. 
You had made a flimsy excuse to give him your number and was surprised to receive an incoming text from an unknown number right as you had finished prepping dough for the next morning’s baked goods and popping it in the fridge to chill overnight.
Hi, Y/N. This is Peter.
Peter Parker. 
From the Daily Bugle?
You had quickly washed your hands then sent a reply, a wide smile spreading across your face. Yes, Peter, hi, it's good to hear from you. What's up? :)
Sorry to bother you, but I just thought I'd text you so you'd have my number in case you had any questions about the interview tomorrow.
Oh it's not a bother at all. You've got perfect timing, actually. I just finished prepping dough.
Oh, what are you making?
Well for the opening we're going to have cookies and cake pops in addition to the regular baked goods, which'll be croissants, muffins, banana bread, and of course, cinnamon rolls. I was just trying to get a head start on the dough since I'll be making extra goodies for the grand opening.
Oh man, that all sounds amazing. I'm going to want to try everything.
Lol, I'll be sure to set one of each aside for you. It's the least I can do as thanks for the free publicity.
So what are you up to?
About to attempt to fix my coffeemaker before I have to head out for my other job.
I'll let you get to that then. Good luck!
Thanks. 
You glanced at the clock. You still had an hour and a half until your interview, but maybe Peter was up and wouldn't mind you texting him?
Morning, Peter! you typed. Any luck fixing your coffeemaker?
A few minutes later your phone lit up. 
Peter had sent you a photo of what you assumed was his coffee maker, except it was in pieces. It was captioned, Are there supposed to be leftover parts?
You laughed before sending your reply. Definitely not that many, lol.
You bit your lip. You know, you're more than welcome to come by early if you need a caffeine fix. 
...Only if you want to, of course.
No pressure.
You nervously chewed on your lip as you waited for his answer. After what seemed like the longest 10 seconds of your life, Peter's reply came through. I'd love to. Be there in 15?
You grinned. Sounds good. See you soon.
You set your phone down on your bathroom counter so you could fix your hair, then took another look at yourself in the mirror. Guess this is as good as it's gonna get.
You headed back downstairs to the shop, fixing yourself a cup of coffee before sitting at a table to wait for Peter.
You looked around, smiling to yourself. You had chosen decor that you thought made the shop feel open and welcoming while still somewhat whimsical and hoped that your customers felt the same.
Suddenly there was a tap on the door.
You looked over and grinned when you saw Peter waving at you. 
He was dressed similarly today as he had been the day before, in jeans and a long-sleeved shirt with a buttoned-up flannel over it. His hair was styled in what you assumed was a purposely messy, just-rolled-out-of-bed look and he was wearing black plastic-framed glasses. Damn, he is *hot*.
You waved back before getting up and walking over to the door to let him in. "Peter, hey. Come on in."
"Hi." Peter stepped inside and waited for you to lock the door behind him. "How's it going? All set for the opening?"
You nodded. "Yeah, actually. I live above the shop and couldn't sleep so I went ahead and got everything ready, but I've now found myself with an extra hour to kill."
You gestured to the table where your coffee sat. "Have a seat and I'll get your coffee ready."
You moved behind the counter as Peter set his bag down at the table. "Want anything to eat?" you asked.
Peter shook his head. "No thanks, I warmed up a cinnamon roll before I left."
You nodded and the machine to brew. "So how are you this morning?"
Peter shrugged. "Had a bit of a long night at my second job, but I'm good."
"Glad to hear that, despite the long night." You waited until the machine shut off and brought Peter his coffee. “Here you go.”
Peter smiled at you. “Thanks.”
You sat across from him and took a sip of your own beverage. "So what is the second job, if you don't mind me asking? Wait, let me guess... Private investigator?"
Peter laughed. "No, what gave you that idea?"
You shrugged, unable to help but smile at his adorable chuckle. "I dunno, it's the first thing that popped in my head that required a camera besides being a photojournalist."
Peter shook his head. "Actually, it has nothing to do with photography. I'm a security guard."
"Oh ok, that's neat. Where at?" You grimaced. Ugh, way to sound like a stalker.
You shook your head. "Wait, I'm sorry. I realize that sounds extremely nosy. I just meant that I'm planning on being down here late most nights doing prep for the next day, so… I mean, if you happen to work nearby you're welcome to drop in for a cup of coffee or some leftover pastries."
Peter shrugged. "It's fine. I just kind of fill in wherever I'm needed, which usually makes for a pretty flexible schedule but also long days, hence my immense and near-constant need for caffeine." 
He took a sip of his coffee. "But, uh, yeah. If I happen to find myself in the neighborhood I'll text you, if you don't mind?"
You smiled with relief. "Yeah, that'd be great."
The next hour flew by as you and Peter continued talking. Peter told you about growing up with his aunt and uncle, about his love of science, and about how he had gotten interested in photography, and in turn you told him about your own childhood and what had led you to want to open your own coffee shop.
"My grandmother taught me how to bake," you explained. "And she always added a splash of coffee to the wet ingredients for whatever we were making. 'The coffee is the secret ingredient,' she would always tell me. ‘But the true secret can only come from within’."
"So what is the true secret?" Peter asked, seemingly intrigued.
You shrugged. "I don't know. She said I would figure it out when the time was right."
Peter huffed out a laugh. "Well if you haven't figured it out yet I can't wait until you do. Your cinnamon rolls are excellent as is."
Your face heated. "Thanks."
Suddenly there was a knock on the front window.
You looked up in surprise then smiled brightly when you spotted your best friend, Ian, waving at you. You had made plans to go out to dinner with him that evening to celebrate the grand opening of Bean There, so you were pleasantly surprised to see him now. 
You stood. "Oh, sorry, hold on a second.”
You went over to the door and unlocked it, letting Ian in.
"Hello, love," Ian said in his crisp British accent before giving you a kiss on the cheek.
"Hey, sweetheart," you replied. "What a surprise, I thought I wasn't seeing you until tonight."
Ian shook his head. "I just wanted to stop by on my way into the office to wish you good luck on your opening today."
You smiled. Ian had been your biggest supporter while you had been working to procure the space for your shop and had helped you with choosing the furniture and decor. "Aww, thank you, honey, you're so sweet."
Ian glanced over at Peter, curiosity evident in his eyes. "I tried texting you, but I guess you were busy.”
You patted at your pockets, realization dawning on you that your phone was still sitting on your bathroom counter. "Oh shoot, I must've forgotten my phone upstairs."
Ian shook his head. "It's fine, darling, no big deal. I'm just glad I got to see you."
"Me too." You turned towards Peter. "By the way, this is Peter Parker, the photojournalist from the Bugle . Peter, this is Ian."
"Nice to meet you," Ian said, walking over and shaking Peter's hand.
"Same to you," Peter replied.
"Want anything before you go, sweetheart?" you asked Ian.
Ian grinned in reply. "Oh, darling, you know I can't resist your banana bread." 
"Peter, you want some more coffee?"
Peter looked hesitant, as if he felt bad about accepting your offer. "Uh, sure."
You picked up Peter's cup and walked back over to the coffee machine, grabbing a fresh to-go cup for Ian and putting 2 pumps of strawberry rose syrup and 1 pump of white chocolate syrup in it before programming the machine to brew both his and Peter's coffee simultaneously.
"Have you tried Y/N's banana bread?" you heard Ian ask Peter.
You looked over at them as Peter shook his head. "I've only had her cinnamon rolls."
Ian let out a pleased sound. "It's incredible, mate. Then again, everything she makes is incredible, and trust me, I've tried it all."
"Ian was kind enough to be my taste tester while I was perfecting my recipes for the shop," you explained to Peter, your face warming at Ian's praise as you steamed some milk to add to his coffee.
"Anything to support my girl," Ian said with a wink. “And to get free pastries.”
You finished making Ian's latte then boxed up 2 slices of banana bread for him to take with him. "That reminds me, though..." 
You brought everything back over to the table. "Peter, I boxed up a sample of everything for you. Remind me to give it to you before you leave."
You handed Ian's banana bread and coffee to him. "Here you go, sweetheart. Just like you like it."
Ian took a sip and nodded. "Mmm, perfect as always. Thanks, love."
He gave you another kiss on the cheek then whispered in your ear, “You go, girl. He is gorgeous.”
You giggled and nodded. "I agree."
Ian straightened. "Bye, darling, love you." 
"Love you too. See you tonight."
Ian turned towards Peter. "Nice meeting you."
Peter gave him a slight wave. "Yeah, you too."
You followed Ian to the door so you could lock it back behind him.
You walked back over to Peter and sat once again. “Sorry about that.”
Peter shrugged and cleared his throat. "It's okay. So, how long have you been together?"
Your brow furrowed. "Who, me and Ian?”
Peter nodded, a slightly confused look blooming across his face. “Yeah.”
You shook your head. “Oh no, Ian's not my boyfriend." 
"Oh, he's not?" Peter's cheeks pinkened adorably. "My bad, I just assumed..."
"It's fine, it's a really common misconception. Ian and I have been best friends since 4th grade so we're super close, but it's not in a romantic way at all." 
You and Ian had met on Ian's first day as a new student in your class. You had invited him to sit with you at lunch and had been inseparable since, including spending summers together in England to visit his mom when she had moved back after his parents had divorced while the two of you were in high school and living together as roommates in college.
You let out a light laugh. “Besides, I don't think Ian's husband would be too pleased if I made a move on him, especially since I not only introduced them, but also was Ian's best woman at their wedding.”
Peter laughed. "Yeah, that might make things a bit awkward."
You bit your lip. "I'm, um, I'm actually not seeing anyone at the moment. Been too busy focusing on my career and trying to open my shop. Kinda difficult to find time to date when you're constantly working, you know?"
Peter nodded.  "Yeah, I get that."
You took a sip of your coffee, trying to come off as nonchalant. "So what about you? Seeing anyone?"
"Oh, um, no, I'm not seeing anyone either right now." Peter hesitated momentarily. "Uh, like you said, too busy with work and stuff."
"Yeah."
Peter jumped slightly as his phone rang. He reached into his pocket to pull it out, briefly looking at the screen before swiping to answer the call. “Excuse me a minute. Hey, Betty, what's up?”
You stood, not wanting to eavesdrop on Peter’s conversation.
Peter glanced up at you. "Oh, uh, actually, I'm already here. Uh huh, yeah, sure. No problem. See ya."
He hung up. "Betty said she'll be here soon. She tried to call you."
You nodded. "I should probably go get my phone in case my employee is also trying to reach me. I'll be right back, okay?"
Peter nodded. "Yeah, that's fine. If Betty gets here before you get back, you want me to let her in?"
"Yeah, that'd be great. Thanks."
You got up and headed behind the counter to wash your cup then ran upstairs to grab your phone, taking a moment to breathe before returning downstairs to find Peter talking to the reporter who had set up the interview with you the day before. 
You smiled. "Miss Brant, good morning."
"Hi," Betty replied.
"Can I get you some coffee?"
“Yes, that would be great, thank you.”
"Something to eat? We have croissants, muffins, banana bread, and cinnamon rolls, along with cookies and cake pops for the grand opening."
"Sure, I'll take a cinnamon roll. Thank you."
"Peter? Sure you don't want anything?"
Peter thought for a second. "Well, maybe a piece of banana bread?"
You nodded with a smile. "Coming right up."
Peter pulled out his camera as you walked over to the display case. "Mind if I take a few pictures? I want to get some test shots in before the official opening."
You shook your head. "That's fine."
You plated Betty and Peter's baked goods along with a croissant for yourself and made Betty's coffee while Peter took a few photos.
You slid Peter's slice of banana bread over to him. "Here you go."
Peter took a bite of his banana bread as you carried Betty's coffee and cinnamon roll and your croissant to the table. "Mmph, this really is delicious."
You smiled, pleased that he liked it. "Thanks."
"Okay," Betty said, turning on a digital recorder. "I'd like to get started, if that's okay with you."
You nodded. "Sure."
Betty cleared her throat. "This is Betty Brant with the Daily Bugle interviewing Y/F/N Y/L/N, proprietor of Bean There, Done That. So, Ms. Y/L/N…"
"Y/N, please," you interrupted.
"Y/N," Betty corrected. "Tell me a bit about yourself."
You told Betty much of what you had already told Peter, about baking with your grandmother as a child and how she had left you enough money to start your bakery. "I really miss her," you said, "but I know she's watching over me."
"And how did you come up with the name of your shop?" Betty asked.
You grinned. “My best friend Ian actually suggested that name. I wanted something catchy and memorable so he and I bounced around ideas until we arrived at ‘Bean There, Done That’.”
Betty smiled. "Care to share any of the rejected names?"
"Oh gosh, there were so many, and they got more and more ridiculous as we went on. Let's see, there was 'Caffeinated Bliss', 'Let's Get Roasted', 'Java the Time?', 'Espresso Yourself', and 'The Daily Grind', to name a few." 
You and Ian had drank several bottles of wine at his kitchen table together while coming up with the perfect name for your shop so several of the rejected names had been hilariously inappropriate. “I also considered naming the shop after my grandmother but ultimately decided against it.”
Betty nodded. "I see."
She asked you several more questions while Peter took a few more photos of both you and the shop, then finally turned off her recorder. "Okay, I think that's all the questions I have for you. Thanks for your time."
You nodded and stood. "Thanks for your time as well."
You walked over to the counter and picked up a couple of bakery boxes you had packed while you were getting everything set up. "Here, I packed some baked goods for you and the Bugle staff."
Betty nodded. "Thanks. I'm sure everyone will appreciate it."
She turned to Peter. "Peter, I'll see you at the office later."
Peter nodded. "Yeah, see ya later."
You walked Betty to the door. “Thank you again for your time.”
“You too,” Betty replied. “I'll email you a link to the article once it's live.”
You nodded. “I'd appreciate that.”
"Is there anything else you need to do before the opening, anything I can help you with?" Peter asked once Betty had left.
You shook your head. "Nope, I think everything is set."
Your phone rang, Olivia’s name flashing across the screen. "Oh, sorry, one second. Hello?”
“Hi, Y/N,” Olivia replied over the phone’s speaker. “It's Liv.”
“Oh, yeah, Liv, hi.” You had hired Olivia, who was working her way through college and thankfully had experience as a barista, part-time for weekday mornings but had asked her to come in today for the grand opening since you weren't sure how busy you would be.
“Just letting you know that I'm on my way and will be there in a couple of minutes.”
“Okay, great. I'll see you in a few then.”
“See you soon. Bye.”
“Okay, bye.”
You hung up. "Sorry about that. That was my employee, Olivia. She was just letting me know that she'd be here in a minute so I could open the door for her."
You checked your watch then grabbed your outdoor chalkboard sign, on which you had written ‘Grand Opening! Free samples inside!’. "Actually, it's close enough to 8 to where I think I can just go ahead and open."
Peter walked over to the door. "Here, I'll get the door for you."
You smiled at him as he held it open for you. Hot and a gentleman too. Swoon. "Thanks."
Peter shrugged. "Of course. Oh, that reminds me, I need to get some posed shots of you out in front of the building before you get too busy."
You nodded as you set the sign out front. "Oh, yeah, sure. Where do you want me?"
"Let's see…" Peter stepped back a bit. "How about here next to the sign?"
You moved to stand beside it. "Here?"
Peter shook his head. “Maybe a bit closer?”
You stepped sideways a bit. “How about now?”
Peter checked the shot. "Yeah, that's perfect."
He took a few photos, then checked to make sure they were okay. "Alright, we're good."
You grinned. "Great. Thanks, Peter."
"No problem."
The two of you headed back inside, you pausing to flip the sign on the door from closed to open. “I need to go grab the first batch of samples. One second.”
You went to the kitchen, where you had set up individual bite-size portions of everything on two large, round trays covered with clear domes. 
You brought them out and set them down on the counter before putting a little tag in front identifying what each tray held. “Okay, now I think we're all set.”
A minute later, the bell above the front door chimed and Olivia walked in. 
“Morning, Y/N,” she said with a friendly smile.
“Morning, Liv,” you replied. “Thanks for coming in today.”
Olivia nodded. “No problem. Happy to help out.”
You gestured to Peter. “This is Peter Parker. He's taking photos of the opening for the Bugle. Peter, this is Olivia.”
“Nice to meet you,” Olivia said as she grabbed her apron off of a hook by the door to the kitchen area.
Peter nodded. “Yeah, you too.”
You rubbed your hands together. “Okay, Liv, if you take the coffee machine, hopefully we'll start getting some customers in soon.”
“Are you expecting a lot?” Peter asked.
“Fingers crossed. I know that this area is busier during the week than it is on the weekend -- which is why we're only open for four hours on Saturday -- but we sent out a mailer advertising the grand opening with a coupon good for a free baked good with purchase of a coffee today only, so hopefully we get a good turnout.” You looked towards the door as the bell chimed, butterflies fluttering around your stomach in both excitement and nervousness. “And actually, there's my first customer! Let me get to it.”
You and Olivia spent the next two hours serving customers and refilling both the display case and sample trays while Peter took photos. 
“Thank you, come again!” you said to what felt like your millionth customer as the shop finally emptied. “Phew.”
You turned towards Olivia. “Liv, you wanna grab you something to eat and take like a 15-minute break? I'll call you up if I need you.”
Olivia nodded. “That sounds great, Y/N. Thanks.”
“Okay,” Peter said, quickly scrolling through his photos as Olivia left to go take her break. “I think I have everything I need.”
You nodded. “I really appreciate you suggesting that the Bugle cover the opening.”
Peter shrugged. “It's not a problem. Always happy to help out a new business, especially one with such delicious treats.”
“Oh, that reminds me.” You grabbed the bakery box full of goodies you had set aside for him. “Don't forget your samples.”
Peter nodded and took the box. “Oh yeah, thanks. I really appreciate it.”
You pointed towards the coffee machine. “Did you want a coffee for the road? I mean, since your coffee maker at home is still broken.” Not since I'm enjoying having you around and am trying to delay you leaving, even if it's just by a minute or two.
“Yeah, I'd love one.”
“Okay, 1 sec.”
You brewed his coffee, resolutely trying to ignore his eyes on you, then brought it over to him. “Let me know how you like the pastries.”
“Will do. Thanks.” Peter glanced at the door as a couple of customers entered. “So I'll… see you around then?”
You nodded. “That’d be great.” 
“Great.” Peter stepped out from in front of the register so you could help your customers. “Thanks again for the coffee and stuff.”
“No problem.”
You watched as he left, taking advantage of your customers being distracted by studying the menu board to wistfully sigh to yourself. Hopefully I'll see him again soon.

My Embarrassment is Yours to Share Mc x Lucifer
The Anti Lucifer League thought of a prank that went south real fast.
"Argh Lucifer needs to shut it with all the RAD meetings it's getting to the point it's inferring with my naps!" Belphegor groaned as he was sleeping on the lunch table. "I swear Lucifer is just a lap dog for Diavolo. It makes me sick one of the most powerful beings is doting to Diavolo-" Satan stated as he ate an apple while reading.
"Mhm we should get back at him!" Belphegor shot up,having one of the most sinister ideas as he smiled. "I think it's time to bring one of the big guns Satan."
"Again why did you bring me into this-?" You sighed as you walked home with Belphegor and Satan. "As a member of the Anti Lucifer League you HAVE to!" Satan laughed holding your books. These two always brought you into their petty pranks. You just hope Lucifer wont be too pissed so you wont hang from a wall."Okay Mc here's the plan!" Belphie and Satan said smiling at you.
As you saw Lucifer leaving for his meeting with Diavolo you ran up to him. Lucifer looked over confused in why you're talking to him so hastly. "I need to go into your study room to get a book for my history test." you lied through your teeth as Lucifer raised an eyebrow. "You can wait Mc I need to assist Diavolo with a predicament." "Please Oh Great Lucifer I'll get straight "A"s if i pass~" you said in a high pitched voice. "Fine Mc just don't go around snooping or you will be punished." Lucifer sighed as he walked out.
You texted in the group chat updating the scheme at hand
Satan- Really that was easy Mr Oh Great Lucifer psh
Belphegor- Mc go and do it now he'll probably put the spell back on the room in a hour ish.
You- Fine fine
As you raced into Lucifer's study you steadied yourself knowing Lucifer uplifted the spell of no trespassing would go off in a hour or so. You found his coat and placed a small sized condom in the pocket. As you took a picture in your DDD sending the picture to the group chat as insurance. To be fair the prank was sorta funny. You laughed to yourself as you grabbed your DDD and walked out  Lucifer's study and hoped for the best.
"And Lucifer we should also attend to-"
Ding,ding,ding...
Diavolo realized he got a notification from you as he picked his DDD up. "Lucifer Mc is texting give me a second." Oh? Why would you text Diavolo-? Lucifer thought as all of a sudden he saw Diavolo snicker. "Diavolo what's the matter-? Lucifer asked trying to get a better view by moving his head. "Oh um- it's nothing! Haha-" Diavolo covered his mouth in amusement.
You sended Diavlo a picture of the condom looking as if you took it out from his coat. With a caption saying "This is probably why Lucifer has a big fat ego to make it up in size." You snickered As Diavolo was trying to hold his laughter as you dialed him.
"Ah Lucifer Mc is calling let me have a moment haha-" Diavlo pressed his DDD to his ear as you called. Lucifer thought this was strange but payed no attention just thinking you sent him a funny post from Devilgram. "Diavolo do you have the picture-?" " Ah yes Mc, haha it's rather amusing I never knew." Diavolo laughed into the phone.
"Diavolo can you put Mc on speaker they asked me for a book I just want to know if they found it considering their tallness." Lucifer chimed getting passive aggressive as he saw Diavolo laugh.
"Ah yes sure Lucifer-" Diavolo put the DDD on speaker without you knowing-
"Thats probably why Lucifer has such a big fat ego Diavolo! To make up for his small skinny dick! Haha!" Diavolo and Barbatos were in shock realizing what you just said out aloud. But Lucifer realized what just had happened and even if he didn't see the picture, his pride was shattered. Considering Diavolo was laughing at this comment beforehand.
"What was that Mc? I have a what now?" You immediately realized Diavolo must've put you on speaker. "WELL DIAVOLO GOTTA GO HAHA-" you hanged up and immediately ran to find Satan and Belphegor.
"Mc you'll be alright! It's just a harmless prank!" Satan tried to comfort you as he locked his room. "Mc I'll give you 300 grimm if you survive his punishment." Belphegor said as he hugged you thinking you wont be able to walk in a long time. The DDD dinged as all three of you looked at the notification.
Mc in my room now. Don't make me search for you.
"Rip our member Mc may they die peacefully." Satan and Belphegor chanted as you shot them a dirty look.
As you walked to your demise you knocked the door to the study room. "Come in." His voice very deep and melancholy. You opened the door to find him working on his stack of papers. He didn't even look up at you as his tight gripped his pen. "Sit on the chair." You immediately sat in hoping he didn't realized you were shaking so hard.
"Now Mc, it's obvious you weren't the one to put this ahem prank into action, so who directed this idea. Was it Satan or Belphegor?" He asked standing up with a smile looking at you shaking in your chair. "Belphegor! He was tired of the RAD meetings so he wanted to embarrass you in front of Diavolo! I'm sorry Lucifer! Please forgive me!"
You  sighed as Lucifer walked up to you  his form overbearing your head. "Ah, poor Mc you were influenced by my brothers, so much so they made you decieve my trust hm? This poor sheep influenced by demons disobeying her shepherd. I forgive you Mc. You were made to disobey me sadly but I forgive you." He smiled as he saw you in confusion gripping the arm chair for life.
You were thankful he wasn't punishing you however, you were still skeptical on his intentions. As his hooded eyes showed just half his eyes. His smile widdened as he rambled on his speech.
Using his gloved pointer finger under your chin propping you head to meet Lucifer's. "However sheep must learn from their mistakes so you will learn my sheep."
Its been 3 hours since Lucifer called you to his study. Satan and Belphegor were figuring out what to do to make it up.
"If Lucifer wasn't a kill joy Mc could've been here right now with us hanging out." Belphegor sighed with his pillow. "No Belphegor, it's just Lucifer's stupid ass nature I swear one day he will pay for what he's doing to Mc." Satan vowed as he paced his room.
Until they heard a knock on Satan's door both members opened it in anticipation. Seeing you there they felt relief. "Oh Mc we thought you were gone! Thankfully you're in once piece!" Satan said looking at you up and down. Belphegor knew something was wrong though and his intuition was right as you took out your DDD.
"Mc, show your neck to those two." Lucifer sadisticly hummed as you pulled down your RAD shirts collar. The two members were confused on what was happening until they saw it. The hickeys all over your neck. "Mc what did he-" Satan was interrupted.
"Now open your mouth Mc." You opened your mouth as Lucifer's cum was still in there spewed all over your mouth. "Oh grosss-!" Belphegor and Satan almost gagged. "Now the message."
"Lucifers dick is so big and wide I sucked it so hard I'll want more." You shamefully told them as you closed your mouth with their shocked faces. "Now my dear brothers remember that next time you pull something." Lucifer cackled as he hanged up leaving the Anti Lucifer League in the embarrassment Lucifer felt.

Oop, hello there! ^^ I remember you from DA, still think your art is so cool!! Still fond of the vintage characters and the world of Tessa n' Val! I'm currently testing the waters on Tumblr lol, hoping to get around a different vibe for documenting my projects n' chatting about stuff I like, and wanted to ask: as someone who's been on Tumblr for a while, what are your main tips for a starting artist in the platform? Wish ya a great day! Stay artful n' creative :]
HI!!!! i remember you too, i always get really excited when artists i like come here. tumblr is the only website i really use for myself and not just to post art, so it means i get to follow them and interact with their art �� i ditched deviantart for everything that isn't posting art and bitching about the website via status updates lmfao, the new inbox and watched deviants tabs are so... out of the way and counter intuitive. hate it there.
anyway, I've written a general tumblr how-to post because there's been so many exoduses (exodi??) from other platforms over the last few years, but I don't think I've ever written one for artists? or at least I can't find it if I did. so here are some hot tips 😎👉👉
NUMBER ONE BIGGEST RULE: if you're an artist and you want to actively gain a following and curate your art, please have a separate art blog where you post exclusively or near exclusively art. it's ok to reblog a post here or there, but tumblr is a website About curating and having specific blogs! it's not that people don't want to see or hear about the artist behind the work, but they don't want 43289 unrelated memes and posts for fandoms they're not in 😅 admittedly i have skipped following some good artists here because their reblogs completely drown out their art and clog my dashboard. people really like curated blogs, almost every artist has a separate art blog 'round these parts. (it's completely fine to post WIPs and text posts discussing your art too, some people would like to see your process!)
speaking of curating: tags are your best friend! tumblr tracks the first 20 tags I believe, so use the first 20 tags to add your important search terms. this is where you put anything you'd want to turn up in the search. really you probably wont have more than 10 of these tags. after that you are welcome to ramble in the tags or use organizational tags for your specific blog.
not sure how to tag? search up what terms you'd use to try to find your own post if you were someone else, and see what tags popular posts in that tag used. you should ALWAYS use the #art and #artists on tumblr tags, as well as any relevant common trigger/content warning tags :D here's how i do it:
FOR FANDOM POSTS: where applicable, I tag Fandom, Fandom Acronym, Featured Characters, Featured Ships, and sometimes #[fandom] fanart and/or #[fandom acronym] fanart. FOR ORIGINAL POSTS: you can tag your art medium (digital art, traditional art, sculpting, etc), the general aesthetic or themes, time periods, and if it features your OCs you can use #oc and their names so if people want to see all your OC content they can find it. admittedly i mostly post fanart so i am very spontaneous with the tags i use on my original art posts lol
4. shorter captions seem to be preferred by the masses, I personally either dump my extra comments in the tags of the original post or I'll put them under a cut. unless it's extremely relevant to the post, like explaining ideas or headcanons
5. have all your handy links in your bio! you can use basic HTML coding to insert links with text and put in line breaks. you should have links to other socials (or something like a carrd that links them for you) and your support streams, like shops and tip jars and patreons. and ofc a little about you and what people can expect to see you draw!
6. have your inbox open! you don't have to take requests, but sometimes someone will throw a brilliant idea at you that you may Coincidentally be inclined to draw. it's also just fun to interact with people who like what you do! sweet comments go a long way
7. last one i can think of - do a seIf-reblog at some point in the day. people live in different timezones and not everybody finishes their dashboard. personally I schedule posts for 12 pm cst and then one seIf-reblog at 8 pm cst. it's also okay to reblog your older artworks for new followers to see, especially if you haven't posted in a while. TV airs re-runs and so can you B)
hope some of it helps!

there are soooo many polish culture and history jokes i dont get so after watching each episode i looked up some meanings of stuff snd even the names and tone are joke sometimes apparently lol
unfortunately ofc i cant fully understand alot of jokes bcuz i dont speak polish :(
captions help a little but still some things must be lost in translation which is really sad
i feel like im really not the target audience for this show as someone who doesnt speak the langauge or know anything about the culture which i ssad cuz it seems like alot of people seem to like it.
although sooommee things can be translated and i really wanna see jakub do his thing lol
i dont thik i can comment too much about the show being good or bad itself tho cuz i wouldnt understand alot. sorry
its like joining a fandom w out watching the show - it can be good but you dont understand alot of it.
i got enough motivation to finish it tho so yay!
its very enjoyable to watch although i know i'll never get everything there is.
it seems alot of the themes are very dark and historicals not my thing but the delivery of the jokes are very good.
i like the scenery.
no srsly im intrigued by whatever tf jakub is doing.

I think the warrior cats and warriors in your submission list are the same thing,btw do you have reccomendations of like. anything that writes woman well
Ah, you might be right; I think I skimmed that entry's propaganda, and it was very specific to whatever series it was about without dropping the full series name, and I was like "Maybe this is Warrior Cats? I feel lazy, I'm not going to look heavily into it."
So, as a reminder: use the full but common name for the series! For example, Miraculous Ladybug (this seems to be the most common title despite being a shortened version), Warrior Cats, BBC Sherlock, etc. And check that you don't have a space after the title's entry, as that counts as a different entry than the title without the space when using the UNIQUE function in Google sheets (which is how I count the unique entries).
As for recommendations, this is hard because I watch a lot of trash, especially recently, but:
- You can never go wrong with Revolutionary Girl Utena. Note: this show (and start with the show, not the movie) has a lot of potentially triggering stuff, so check out those warnings before you start if you have any triggers at all. It uses the triggering stuff very well and to tell its story and explore its themes, not just for, like, titillation though. Indeed, it is, I would argue, necessary for the story and themes the show seeks to explore. It is legally free on Youtube in...I want to say 480p, and in better resolution on Crunchyroll and Funimation (yes, Funimation's site is still up; I find it superior to Crunchyroll's since it actually includes closed captions for dubs, although it doesn't include newer anime from after the two companies merged). Also, you want to watch the sub for this. I'm normally not one to say "the dub is bad" and stuff and be a purist about it—in fact I normally go to bat for dubs—but, uh... yeah, the dub is bad this time. Crispin Freeman and Dan Green are delightful in it though, I'll give it that.
- Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood uses its female characters well. Maybe it could be better, I've seen some people in these tournaments have beef with it, but it's a pretty perfectly told story, like solid A+, with a lot of really great female characters who I find very satisfying so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. This is on Crunchyroll, Hulu, and I believe Amazon Prime?
- Don't let the title fool you: Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is a fantastic show with great female characters who are complex and human, have compelling arcs, and are vital to the story. The relationship between Rebecca and Paula is central to the show and SO good, especially as the show goes on. The title is because it explores the trope of the crazy ex-girlfriend in a very humanizing way, and the title/opening song even mentions how the title is a sexist term, but it's a lot more nuanced than that. Also, it's a musical with very good original songs every episode. But check trigger warnings for this show too though. The show is streaming on Netflix last I checked.
- Uhh... maybe the first two seasons of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic? It's a kid's show, but it's good. I haven't seen it in years and years though, so I don't know if I can still fully vouch for it. I believe it is streaming on Netflix?
- Revue Starlight? I haven't thought about it heavily, but I had no beef watching it. This is streaming on HiDive.
- I've heard good things about Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury, but I can't vouch for it personally. It's streaming on Crunchyroll.
UPDATE: Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury is also legally on youtube!
Honestly, I know more imperfect shows that I'm satisfied with, like I give it a B+ to A- at least, but that I haven't thought heavily about than stuff where I'm like, "Oh, yeah, definitely, definitely, nothing I'd pick out there as a problem." For example, Baccano! is probably imperfect (as well as not streaming legally anywhere), but I don't remember being, like, struck by a bunch of problems there. So, I'm not the best for recs that I can give a 100% guarantee for.

whats your process for making stimboards like? :O
I think it's about the same as everyone else's;
I first search for gifs on Tumblr that match the theme of the board
I only ever search outside of Tumblr if I absolutely cannot find ANYTHING that fits, which usually means finding videos and making my own gifs from them instead (you couldn't pay me to use pinterest.)
(I also use google to find the source of a reposted gif if there is none but that's different)
Whenever I see a gif I could use, I open the original post/source of that gif in a new tab
I leave every tab open until the stimboard is 100% complete and properly sourced so I never lose any sources
This means I'll usually have 20-50 tabs open on average per stimboard, no big deal since I usually have tons of tabs and windows open at any given moment anyway, but I highly recommend an extension that optimizes gifs (like XKit Rewritten) if you do this
I copy the URL of the gifs so I don't have to save them to my computer and paste them into the stimboard post, sometimes switch them out for other gifs, and rearrange until I'm satisfied
I only ever save gifs if I have to add them after saving the stimboard as a draft (Tumblr won't let you just paste the URLs then) or if I edit the gif somehow (usually changing the colour)
Caption, link sources, tag, pop it in the queue, re-organize the queue if necessary
I've been doing this the same way since before the post editor got updated and I've been doing it for about... three years now? So I already feel like some of my methods are a bit dated compared to newer blogs' but y'know what they say about autism and change.

Good day ‚
This is Cruahi Takfihse, and as you can see, I'm portraying Jennie Kim from the girl group Blackpink. I chose Jennie as my muse because I'm a huge fan of Blackpink, especially Jennie, and I feel really comfortable portraying her. So, I hope you understand why I couldn't let go of her. If you find my account offensive, feel free to unfriend or block me. Now, to avoid any misunderstandings, please take a moment to read and understand the following information about my account and Jennie.
First and foremost, I want to make it clear that I am not the real Jennie Kim, and I have no affiliation with her group, agency, or family. This account was created solely for roleplaying purposes, and I have no intention of ruin her career or image. I'll be posting random updates as well as news about Blackpink, with a special focus on my muse, Jennie. If you have any issues with the way I portray Jennie, please feel free to reach out to me privately. Let's have a respectful conversation about it instead of relying solely on the troll page or report button. If there's anything else that bothers you about me or my posts, please unfriend or block me right away to avoid any misunderstandings with the account admin. I want to mention that English is not my first language, so please bear with me if you come across any grammatical or typographical errors in my captions. Also, I want to clarify that I create my own captions, so please refrain from paraphrasing or plagiarizing them. As for the content, information about my muse, details about the events they'll be attending, and even some life quotes, are sourced from Google and other reliable sources. So, you can expect to see similar phrases and terminology in my captions.
Who is Jennie?
Jennie, a refined woman with a captivating, endearing personality and immense charisma off-stage, as well as a sleek and forceful image on stage. BLACKPINK's main rapper and lead singer. She was born in Anyang, South Korea, in the province of Gyeonggi. In addition, she spent five years in Auckland, New Zealand. Jendeuk, Nini, and Mandu ( due to her soft and squishy cheeks ) were some of BLACKPINK's and BLINKS' nicknames for her. In the group, she is known as 'the YG princess.' Jennie had a temporary tattoo on her wrist during pre-debut with the words "Stay Strong" written in cursive. She used it as motivation to pursue her dream of becoming an idol. It was a long and tough path for her, as she studied for six years with YG Entertainment before making her debut in 2016. What a wonderful young woman she is. Jennie has become Chanel's global and House Ambassador, Hera's Muse/Ambassador, and Calvin Clein's muse, despite all of the challenges she's faced over the last four years. Visit this website to learn more about her and her collection, Gentle Monster: JENTLE HOME. For some facts about her, visit this website here. You can visit her channel there.

for the orangekip idea: one of them returns home after being away for a long while due to schedules/being booked in promotions outside of the country and that's when the other realizes how much they love and missed them. i'll leave who's coming home and who's been waiting up to you 💚
818 words of fluff. this was really quick and i did not proofread or edit apart from a spell check, but i do like especially the end of this so here you go ~
on ao3
-------
It had been such a long day after a busy week, but for once Cassidy didn’t mind any of it at all. He knew Kip was coming home today after being gone to Japan for two long, long weeks with Penelope, and while he was maybe a little upset that he wasn’t there in the morning when Kip arrived back, Cassidy still knew he was going to be there waiting for him when he finally got to fly back home himself.
He was maybe a little bit upset and jealous that Penelope got to do this small tour with Kip instead of him, but at the same time Cassidy totally understood it from the character point of view – not that he wasn’t a fit for the company, but Kip and Penelope were an item on screen, so it made more sense to send them in together to handle some business over there. He was fine with it honestly, Cassidy didn’t mind that they were experiencing this together instead of him being there; he wasn’t one to be super into traveling anyways.
Okay, maybe a part of him wasn’t as fine with it, as he spent the last two weeks mostly alone in the empty house when he wasn’t on the road. Cassidy knew Kip was going to be back sooner rather than later, the trip was only going to take two weeks, and yet every time he realized how empty the house was during that time, something in him ached like it hadn’t done before.
So seeing the photos dropping to his phone from Penelope that morning made his heart melt. Tired Kip sleeping against her shoulder in the Uber, him leaning against the front door looking absolutely exhausted while he tried to sort through his keys to find the one he needed to open the door. And finally Kip sprawled out on the couch, barely gotten out of his outerwear, accompanied with a little caption from Penelope ‘He fell asleep as soon as he laid down. I’m sure he’s still going to be here when you get back.’
Cassidy would have lied if he said he wasn’t excited for once to return back home. They had kept him updated throughout the trip on what they were up to and how things were going, but it was so hard to have time to talk with Kip due to such huge time differences between the two countries that most interactions had huge hourly delays between them. He hadn’t really heard his voice in two weeks, only in recordings and that obviously wasn’t the same. Likewise Cassidy hadn’t seen his face live in so long, he was practically shaking with excitement trying to get the front door open.
Stepping inside the house, Cassidy wasn’t surprised a bit to see the two large suitcases just left standing in the middle of the hallway. Kip wasn’t known for his tidiness and putting his things away, so it didn’t come as a surprise that they were still exactly where he had probably left them hours ago. Following his example though, Cassidy left his own bag right there, making a beeline straight to the living room instead.
Cassidy stopped in the doorway, taking in the sight he had longed to see for days now. On the couch, right where Penelope had left him and where she said he would still be, was Kip, completely passed out, one hand hanging over the edge of the couch, head buried in a throw pillow. The slight purple shade he had gotten his hair dyed with while on the trip looked even cuter in person than Cassidy had thought it would, making him ignore the fact that Kip hadn’t even removed his jacket or shoes before choosing to crash out cold in the living room.
He walked into the living room and around the couch, taking a seat on the floor next to it. Cassidy’s hand cupped Kip’s cheek, his thumb running across the cheek of his sleeping prince, feeling Kip stir ever so slightly as he leaned against the touch, humming quietly at the warmth of the blond’s hand. As his eyes slowly fluttered open, the sleepy pair of ever so bright eyes looked back at Cassidy, Kip’s lips twisting into an immediate soft smile.
“Hey.”
The quiet, slightly hoarse sleepy voice was enough for Cassidy, making him lean closer as he gently pulled Kip into a kiss. He didn’t resist, only let out a soft chuckle at the obviously touch starved blond, responding back by his lazy hand hanging off the couch barely grabbing a hold of Cassidy’s jacket, pulling him closer to deepen the kiss.
“I’ve missed you so much,” Kip mumbled as they pulled apart for some breathing room, watching the smile grow on Cassidy’s face before he leaned closer, peppering Kip’s face with a group of small soft kisses.
“I missed you more.”

Storyline:
Part 1:
Lysandre Lab created the holo caster and a few other projects that never got completed or released to the public. Malva got the job of helping clean out some of the stuff from Lysandre's Lab equipment to find something that has been running all this time that Lysandre's been gone. This was a big server with a smaller box next to it with a blue glow to it as she went down to look where it was plugged in the camera in the lab moved a bit to look at Malva and a voice came out of the smaller box asking her if she was looking for something. Malva falls back in shock looking around where that voice came from. I'll ask again. "Do you need something, young lady?" Nearby a panel on the wall glows blue and a figure of a tall man now looking down at Malva on the floor. "Can you hear me or well I need to close captions?"
Malva now looking up at the hologram. No way how the hell are you? know you would have called me by my name... You are not Lysandre are you? Well, I'm just here to get rid of whatever is left of this old lab. The man has long hair pulled up into a ponytail and looks at the Malva with his arms crossed. "I don't know who I am my creator never gave me a name and about turning off that server there is no way you can fully turn it off without having admin controls." Malva did not listen to what he had to say and just got behind the server looking for the power source to find nothing. She walks back to the front. Of course, that hard-headed fool didn't make a shut-off that would be easy. "what do I have to do to turn this thing off then?"
"That headset over there you'll need to put it on and join in a find me in the city. I'll see you inside."
Malva now holding a headset that has orange hairs in the band of the headset. It was clear that Lysandre used this to do just what Malva was about to do. "it'll just be for a bit." Malva puts the headset on. In no time at all she is teleported to a different world it seemed at 1st but it was a copy of Lumiose City with a few small details that were missing that was understandable because if lysandre updated this copy when he was alive and he's been got for a few years now. As she walks down the road she can see someone standing outside looking at Prism Tower.
"I didn't really hide from you sorry about that. I guess you would like to know what this place is. This is Project Neo Flare at least that was what my creator called it. He hasn't been here for years now. I really haven't had anything to do all this time. I did have some fun with the weird guy in red he was looking for something and scared him off. He called me that name you said before for Lysandre. I don't know who that is but I can see your trainer ID is Malva welcome to this digital world."
Malva runs her hand along a nearby building it feels like the real thing. "Lysandre was who owned this lab and was who created this world... Wait how do you not know who Lysandre was? What was your creator's trainer ID?" The man looks confused for a bit at Malva. "I had to delete my creator's profile to let you use the headset he once used. I can look in my file backups if you want to know my creator's trainer ID?" A window pops up before Malva that asks a yes or no question. She clicks no. "I'm not here for this... I'm here to close down the server... You look so much like him and no at the same time." The man looks sad for a moment before giving her the prompt to pick if she will destroy or protect.
"I have no say in what you pick but this has been my home for as long as was created. My creator told me he wanted to show more people this place he created. It went from joy of what he created to anger saying that people would never understand his vision of this place. I talked to him but I knew my words would never reach him because I was just a program that he created to keep this place in working order."
Malva gives out a big sigh and presses protect. "I don't know why I'm doing this but don't make me regret this... You said you didn't have a name?" He looks away from Malva for a bit to look back at her with hope. "Yes, he never named me."
"Hmmm... Project Neo Flare... Neo Flare"
He looks happy when she says Neo Flare.
"That's it your name will be Neo Flare"
Part 1 End
