trying not to be overly negative about season 2 but GOD the occasional uncomfortable moments i had in dungeons and daddies season 1 are fucking MAGNIFIED in season 2. this shit sucks. like, we get it, you think your weird cishet male experiences from 2002 are universal or what-fucking-ever but treating this weird teen girl vs. teen boy binary as real (even for the sake of comedy) is, like, not fun to listen to lol
#like i get it maybe you were a fucking incel in high school but not all boys are like that and its really fucking tiring to hear about#like. maybe im just oversensitive or some shit but i personally dont find that funny#i find it threatening and dehumanizing!#maybe i want an escapist comedy podcast that DOESNT remind me of how cishet men will see me as some object for them to look at#i get so uncomfortable being in spaces where im the only girl or only not-guy there#because im CONSTANTLY worried the people around me are making me into some fucking manic pixie dream girl#or 'not like other girls' gamer girl#just because i play VIDEO GAMES IN THIS COLLEGE VIDEO GAME CLUB#like. AGH#to anyone who hasnt listened to dungeons and daddies but was maybe thinking about it—dont let this put you off of it!!!#the setting for season 2 is a high school setting and all the player characters are teens/teen archetypes#so this is why it's cropping up right now i think#im gonna give them the benefit of the doubt and hope it gets a little bit fucking better as they settle into a groove in this season#(since as im writing this im only on episode 4)#and anyways season 1 of dungeons and daddies is genuinely the funniest podcast of any genre ive ever listened to. ever.#but i think im just surprised (and maybe shocked and a little hurt by realizing some of these cast members just dont have the#awareness to realize this stuff isnt cute its actually really annoying and is making anyone who's ever been on the receiving end of this#behavior is just. not gonna be having a good time#like theyre absolutely not condoning it—theyre making fun of it! but its still not funny to see EVERY SINGLE MALE CHARACTER thirst after the#girl characters. bc this kinda says a lot about what these hosts think real teen boys act like#when i can assure them their high school experiences (that i know theyve grown out of and regret; and i respect that growth bc it actually#does show) ARE NOT UNIVERSAL!!!!!! NOT FOR TEEN GUYS AND NOT FOR ANY OTHER TEENS. LOL. its just not the default!!!!!!#and THAT is whats making me feel all icky.)#god these tags are a mess#will campos youre my only hoe#he (and beth for the most part) are the only ones not on my shit list about this xjshdfnjkndks#ANYWAYS once again dont let this deter you from the podcast#i just needed to scream about season 2 feeling a little weird so far#dungeons and dads#mine

fic rec friday 9
hi!! welcome to fic rec friday. every week, i pick five fics i have bookmarked and rec them with a little review. check them out!
Yeehaw by @buoyantsaturn
Or: 5 times Will had a secret power and 1 time he didn't
yall DO NOT UNDERSTAND how much i love this fucking fic. i read it one time when i was like 16, before i started bookmarking fics, and then a couple years ago i spent TWELVE GODDAMN DAYS sifting through every fic in my history to find this. i LOVE this fic. i love will having a strange scattering of powers he doesnt really advertise. its so fun and exciting. i also love 5+1 fics w my whole soul
2. give me one good honest kiss by @ethannku
One second Jason is across from him, lounging against the wall; the next, he’s leaning in, closing the distance between them. And then the warmth is back, blooming across Leo’s face, and he’s worried he’s going to start a fire. His eyes subconsciously slide shut. He registers a soft pressure on his cheek, Jason’s hand, and Leo is certain that his face must be burning. Jason sits back before he’s set aflame, though, and a smile flickers on his face. Leo’s lips tingle. Jason’s hand is still on his cheek. Without thinking, Leo darts his tongue out to lick his lips. Cherry. “Does that answer your question?” - Or; four times Jason kisses Leo, and one time Leo kisses him back
i mentioned my love for 5+1s. this one has SO MUCH. theres a sprinkling of implied autistic leo, explicit nonbinary nico, lesbian piper, some LOVELY leo & piper moments (i love them so bad), and jason just like. deciding he is going to be obvious and start dating leo. while leo is sitting there like ?????? sir????? and setting himself on fire is so so funny to me
3. over lame jokes and laundry detergent by @rosyredlipstick
met doing laundry at 2am college au - Nico likes his alone time and is more then a little pissed off when annoying med student Will Solace throws his routine off balance.
ONE OF MY TOP TEN FAVE ROSYREDLIPSTICK FICS.....LIKE I GIGGLE EVERY TIME!!! nothing is funnier to me than nico trying to be the wickedest grouch and he just. cant. because will makes him smile without meaning to. and theyre STRANGERS?? AND THIS IS STILL HAPPENING?? like i go feral every time. also the WAY nico was eyeing him...boy i get you 😭😭
4. water splashin' and sun shinin' by @rosyredlipstick
Nico is absolutely aghast with the conditions he's forced to work under. Sure, the surf shack has air conditioning and a fully stocked snack area, and the wifi isn't bad, and it doesn't hurt that's he's in the shade all day, but how in the gods names is he expected to work when lifeguard Will Solace won't put on a damn shirt?
no trope and i mean NO trope will ever be better than both will and nico being catastrophically humiliatingly ninth circle of hell chipping away to find the tenth down bad for each other. and not doing anything about it for weeks. just constant thirsting and pining it is so so SO funny to me. that is their dynamic. and a fic where will just has an excuse to never wear a shirt and nico has an excuse (no he doesn't) to stare...they are so constantly real
5. petal to the metal by @rosyredlipstick
“How do I passive aggressively say fuck you in a bouquet?”
i think i have been doing these fic rec fridays long enough to tell yall my truth: fics written in 2016 were elite. i dont know what it is about the year, but consistently, fics, especially by prolific authors, written in 2016 have something special that just make you read them eight billion times. this was one of those fics where i read it to the end, kudosed, and then scrolled right back up to the top and read again. so so so fun. rizzed up nico RIGHTS
thank you for joining me this friday!! happy reading!!

This Week in BL - a shocking upset to the rankings
Organized, in each category, by ones I'm enjoying most at the top.
Nov 2023 Wk 4
Tumblr media
Ongoing Series - Thai
My Dear Gangster Oppa (Thurs iQIYI) ep 5 of 8 - It remains absolutely delightful. We already knew this pair does boyfriends damn near perfectly. It’s a pleasure to watch them as a couple, coupling all over our screen. The relationship does feel a bit rushed but frankly I like the pacing, it’s kind of Korean style which makes sense considering the original IP. 
The Sign (Sat YT) ep 1 of 10 - You know what this is? It’s FUN is what it is. I haven’t felt this way about a BL in a while. Sure is has an uneven story, fight sequences, pacing, and acting but still… yay! Billy is great, he very good at thirst. It’s a crime Lee Long Shi isn’t in this, but otherwise weeeeeeeeee!
(Also was that Bangsean I spotted?)
Tumblr media
Last Twilight (Fri YT) ep 3 of 12 - The montage of them learning and training together was so stinking cute I can hardly contain myself. Plus a little language play? (Did you catch the added “na” on to thank you? Gah! So sweet.) Have mercy. I love the banter that these two can execute so smoothly. It reminds me the most of TayNew back in their Kiss days. Or Nanon & Ohm in Bad Buddy.
There’s this breezy casualness to friendships and long-term relationships that Asian BLs seem to find really hard to execute (I’m thinking about something like Hospital Playlist as the best example). It’s more a friend chemistry than a lover chemistry, although of course it can morph into that.
Anyway, I am waffling, but I’m loving this show. (The bit with the teacher made me cry.) I also really love how much actual Bangkok we’re getting from it for a change. 
Finally... how much did @respectthepetty and I love the pink milk shirt moment? SO MUCH. Color theory, plot devise, fashion, food, and a trope reference all in one. Well done GMMTV! Very well done.
Tumblr media
Twins the series (Fri GaGa) ep 4 of 10 - I would like it if we got onto the BL section of this BL. Please and thank you. 
Pit Babe (Fri iQIYI) ep 2 of 14 - it's delightfully trashy, btu slightly less trashy than last week because they introduced AlanJeff who are my new babies of age gap delight and you cannot have them. THEY ARE MINE. Also Way. WAY IS MINE. Also, I decided to do a trash watch.
Tumblr media
Bake Me Please (Mon Gaga) ep 1 of 6 - It’s nice. It’s fine. Atmospheric and pretty and full of deserts. What’s not to love? Is it inspired? No. Definitely has an Antique Bakery (play it again, BL). But I do love food based cinema. 
Middleman’s Love (Fri YT & iQIYI ep 3 of 8 - What’s annoying is that this could’ve been so good. It’s a poster child for squandered potential. 
Absolute Zero (Weds iQIYI) ep 9 of 12 - Because of the temporal paradox, and Thai BL not being all that great on narrative consistency anyway, this is a confusing piece as well as a painful one. Now Ongsa seems to be nothing more than a stalker who cries all the time. 
Playboyy (Thurs Gaga) 2 of 14(!) eps - This really feels like Thailand is trying to relive the gory days of Japan's pinks. I wasn’t into it then and I’m certainly not into it now. It’s a mess and weirdly mechanically not sexy. I’ll stay watching it but, like Only Friends, I don’t think I’m gonna warm to it. I just don’t like shows where there are no likable characters. 
Also imma say it, so plug your assears. This is about as deep as a dildo can go. Which is to say, the size queens seem to be finding it more deep than the rest of us who are already bottoming out. Just make sure you're taking adequate lube prep with your psyches.
My Universe (Sun iQIYI) Friends Forever ep 14 of 24 - No thank you. 1/10 
I've decided, for spreadsheet reasons, that each of these is going to be tracked as its own 2 part show.
Ongoing Series - Not Thai
A Breeze of Love (Korea iQIYI) eps 5-6 of 8 - The shopping together scene was absolutely darling. But I’m getting a little frustrated not knowing exactly what happened in the past.
VIP Only (Taiwan Fri Gaga) ep 1-2 of 10 - Of course it starts with the crash into me trope, oh Taiwan. It’s cute enough, I love the support cast, and it’s always nice to have something from my favorite tiny island on my dash. 
Tumblr media
You tell me: is it safe?
One Room Angel (Japan Gaga) 6 eps - This one finished. It's an adaptation of Harada’s manga (which I did not like and dnf'd) about a clerk who nearly dies and ends up cohabitating with an angel. Thoughts? Is it sad? Is it meh? TELL ME!
It's Airing But...
The Whisperer (Sun ????) 1 of 10 - Thai horror BL that ALSO involves cheating (what joy is mine). He has dimples (My Ride) but I don't think even that gives me the will. You can tell me how this goes if you can find it.
SHADOW (Thai Gaga) 14 eps - I'm not wild about Thai horror (or horror at all) even one featuring Singto and Fluke. I'm holding off. If told it's good, I'll binge.
7 Days Before Valentine (Weds WeTV) ep 1 of 10 - trailer here, horror-esk. Adapted from y-novel of the same name, directed by Tu (180 Degree) stars Jet (Why You… Y Me?). Giving me Luminous Solution vibes, so I'm waiting to binge if told it's safe.
Beyond The Star (Weds iQIYI) 8 eps - House of Stars meets Boyband. I was NOT impressed with ep one. Waiting to be told if I should bother.
What Did You Eat Yesterday Season 2 AKA Kinou Nani Tabeta? Season 2 (Japan Gaga) 10 eps - I find this series more fun to binge, so I'm waiting until it completes its run.
In case you missed it
I posted 20 BLs with the BEST Thirst! and decided to distinguish the different type son need in BL as follows:
Thirst wants to slide a hand under his waistband right tf now and grind.
Horny wants to rip his clothes off, and probably pop buttons and laugh about it.
Yearning wants to run both hands up his back while they kiss deeply.
Hunger wants to lift him by the ass and slam him against the wall.
Next Week Looks Like This
Tumblr media
(Today) 11/26 Cooking Crush (Sun YT) 1 of 12 - OffGun are back, trailer here. Adapted from the novel “Love Course! เสื้อกาวน์รุกเสื้อกุ๊กรับ” by iJune4S this is about Prem who runs a not-so-popular restaurant with 2 friends. About to go on a cooking competition with a huge reward, Prem gets involved with Ten, a stressed-out med student who wants Prem to teach him to cook.
11/30 For Him (Thurs iQIYI) ep 1 of 10 - high heat trailer From the people who brought us Unforgotten Night (please no) based on a y-novel, man nursing a heartbreak has a one-night stand, but the other boy didn't want it to end. It looks terribly trashy so I'm in!
Original 2023 forthcoming BL master post (see comments, some are inaccurate, NOT KEPT UPDATED).
THIS WEEK’S BEST MOMENTS
Tumblr media
Look at how gd cute they are!
Tumblr media
Ah yes... (both Last Twilight)

Say hello to Triple Sec, out June 4, 2024 from Simon & Schuster! (Art by Petra Braun.)
It’s queer! It’s poly! It’s cocktails!!! Official synopsis below the cut.
A jaded bartender is wooed by a charmingly quirky couple in this fresh and sizzling polyamorous rom-com, set in the exclusive world of high-end cocktail bars—from the acclaimed author of the “tender, decadent, and sparklingly funny” (Lana Harper, New York Times bestselling author) Chef’s Choice. As a bartender at Terror & Virtue, a swanky New York City cocktail lounge known for its romantic atmosphere and Insta-worthy drinks, Mel has witnessed plenty of disastrous dates. That, coupled with her own romantic life being in shambles, has Mel convinced love doesn’t exist. Everything changes when Bebe walks into the bar. She’s beautiful, funny, knows her whiskeys—and is happily married to her partner, Kade. Mel’s resigned to forget the whole thing, but Bebe makes her a unique offer: since she and Kade have an open marriage, she’s interested in taking Mel on a date. What starts as a fun romp turns into a burgeoning relationship, and soon Mel is trying all sorts of things she’d been avoiding, from grand romantic gestures to steamy exploits. Mel even gets the self-confidence to enter a cocktail competition that would make her dream of opening her own bar a reality. In the chaotic whirl of all these new experiences, Mel realizes there might be a spark between her and Kade, too. As Bebe, Kade, and Mel explore their connections, Mel begins to think that real love might be more expansive than she ever thought possible. With TJ Alexander’s signature “witty and insightful voice, complex characters, and full-throated celebration of the joy of queer community” (Ava Wilder, author of How to Fake It in Hollywood), Triple Sec is a passionate, thirst-quenching love story that will have you asking for another round…or three.
You know the drill, folks!! I am asking/begging you to please spread the word and help me out. This book is a VERY different kind of romance and I am desperate for it to find its audience. Here are some ways you can help me:
Pre-order. I know, I know, June 4 is forever away but it really is the biggest thing. Pre-ordering is a gift to yourself and to authors who would really like to hit some kind of bestseller list some day. If you don’t want to pre-order now, consider putting a note in your calendar to buy it on June 4?
Add the book to your GoodReads or Storygraph TBR.
Share my pinned posts on Instagram or tumblr.
Tell your local bookstore or library (or both!) to stock this book.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Next round’s on me.

The sound of silence
With the end of August already in sight - somebody, please, tell me where did this botched summer go, all of a sudden? -, a somewhat different landscape is slowly emerging, on the S&C front.
Dare we hope? The new normal seems to be a mix of latergrams, sibylline tweets, ultra-muted innuendo (most of it the result of a couple of pundits' sterile speculations on meagre hints dropped on purpose) and secondary (even third-circle) players being conveniently called to the rescue. A low budget, almost homemade solution to keep the prayer wheels of this fandom spinning. A fandom both of these two know, by now, like the back of their hands.
For months and months in a row, I tried to understand something that puzzled me constantly: not the messages being ventilated in here, but their circuit and lifespan, if you want. For what is worth, the rinse and repeat image is fine in my book, but in no way comprehensive, nor intellectually satisfying. And then, a couple of weeks ago, I started to suddenly figure it out.
I am not going to insult you with savant jargon or Venn diagrams, rest assured. However, I need some arrows. I called it the 4 R Circuit and here we go:
(an information is being) Released (via Anons or DMs exclusively: it's never sheer luck, that is a bloody lie and a poor one, at it) -> (it then prompts a couple different) Reactions -> (followed by an almost immediate) Retcon (by the other side of this very antagonistic fandom) -> (in response, an old information is being) Recycled (thus effectively keeping the chatter alive, but re-oriented until ) -> (a new or old/new information is being) Released
Historically, the lifespan of this news cycle was never shorter than 24, but seldom (if ever) longer than 72 hours. This summer is a resolute break off this pattern, but old habits die hard: the collective attention span has been also conditioned accordingly.
And how could it be otherwise? Because neither of them had any consistent A-list level gossip history, the emerging fandom had to resume itself to their social media accounts, for a start. And boy, were we copiously spoiled, with banter and innuendo and double-entendre galore, and then with voluble Anons being simultaneously directed to the main players of all the factions. I bet it was elating. I am sure it was also great fun: a merry, sunny age of innocence. Until it wasn't and the ugly manipulative streak began its inglorious march in here. The thirst grew, and so did the stakes. Pictures, pictures or it did not happen. And when we got them, we started to immediately diss and hiss and hum and drum. In the Real World (you know, out there, where we all go every morning and are civilized, amiable people), this kind of behavior would be more than uncanny: it would be uncalled for and drastically sanctioned as such. But, I digress.
The result of this disco inferno by design is a pattern of reactivity I have never seen in my entire life. Nano-inquisitors immediately spring out of their chairs once you dare write something: why did you say that? how dare you speak your mind, you are supposed to be a stupid, stupid shipper? In the meantime, almost nobody bothers connecting the dots, finding a solid background for arguments, placing facts or speculation in a logical context. It's frowned upon. Yet, the whole experience would be way more enjoyable, if instead on focusing on idiotic and obviously doctored details, we could bring some perspective to all this hubbub.
Last case in point, this freshly baked imbecility:
Tumblr media
We all know who the fuck Brave Heart is: the kilt obsessed, once Mightiest Troll of Mordor. The one who invented by herself the grotesque story of the Hôtel Costes Rash sightings, last April, via Anons written in painful English. Also, the one who spun, based on a friendly snap at a sportive event, the Ellenwood Innuendo, promptly ditched - it didn't stick well enough- now reactivated. A sample:
Tumblr media
Calling all stations: there is no side exit at the Hôtel Costes' restaurant, you fool, who's been to Paris as often as I went to Oahu, which is to say never. There is a back exit, through the kitchen, madam: next time, do your damn homework properly! Unlike you, I often went there (I preferred other, less nouveau riche playgrounds, that being said), back in 1996-2002, when it still was the boldest celeb' spotting venue in town. Not anymore. And who in their right mind would bring luggage or shopping bags in a very peculiarly laid-out French restaurant, without immediately taking the risk of being a conversation stopper, a bull (heh) in a china shop?
The "have seen it with my own eyes" gave you away, this time. A classical, by the book way to spin a cheap lie.
Also, C's witty latergram, via a tertiary player. I am sure (and I will film myself eating my socks live, if proven wrong) that back in Mordor someone already came with the agit-prop retcon: "it's irrelevant when the picture was taken".
It is very relevant. July 31. One day before August 1st: I always admired her humor. But who would take the time to tell 1+1= 2?
If I could gift this fandom anything, let it be this: context is always important. Manipulation starts exactly when you stop questioning and let your brain live the 72 hours news cycle.
The only real sound of this August, on the S&C front, is the sound of silence.
I rest my case.

Welcome to the Blood Drop ~ David ~ Part.5

sub!David x dom!fem reader
masterlist
Part.1(Prolog), Part.2(Paul), Part.3(Dwayne), Part.4(Marko)
Info : So it's finally done after months of having it in my wip it's finsihed, I must say I'm not so pleased about it because it was difficult to get back in but I hope you guys like it. As always have fun reading it :)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was true that the night still had a few hours before the sun would slowly rise over Santa Carla. The vampires and night creatures would go to sleep and the leader of the clan would also go to rest. But her day began earlier than others again she had such an irregular sleep rhythm that day and after blurred.
But this was just right for her, if she had not come along that evening, she would not have met these four more than just interesting and handsome vampires. But now she was facing him again and saw how the nicotine had lost its effect, the Bloody Marys could not calm the vampire either.
Something the other three also said and for a moment they seemed to consider grabbing their leader and dragging him out of the establishment.
But a glance at the human woman made them pause. They knew she could not be underestimated. Her clan was still four times the size of David's. But the lust and thirst of a vampire was something they all should not underestimate.
The blond seemed to be even more sure of his intentions, no matter the consequences. ,,It's my turn," he said, his voice dripping with impatience as he took another step toward her. She watched every little gesture on him as his eyes almost seemed to change for a moment.
He seemed almost unable to suppress his hunger. Licked his lips as his eyes went to her neck and seemed to see the blood underneath. The heart seemed to call for him.
She was his irresistible prey since he had seen her on the street. Since the prey had played with him. It had become a game between the two. A game David played with pleasure when it meant he could ram his fang into her flesh.
While she was just waiting to see the surprise on his face when she herself would strike. ,,Don't be so hard on my lady" said Paul who almost looked like he was going to get between the two of them.
My sweet little savior she thought with a smile and gave him a grateful look. ,,It was your offer and you'll carry it through to the end, won't you doll?" she asked with a grin that for a moment gave him back his charm.  It made him so pretty and handsome again.
They would both have fun, she was sure of it, David just had to play along. ,,I'm not worried, shall we?" she replied and pointed to the door before they started to move. He immediately wrapped his hand around her side and didn't seem to let go.
He made his ownership clear, at least for this evening. But just before they were out the door, Dwayne put a hand on his leader's shoulder. The taller black-haired man looked at the blond with a warning in his gaze not to overdo it.
She saw how Dwayne was apparently not sure whether he should intervene or not. It seemed that no one could really estimate how the situation with the leader would develop. All but one.
Pressing closer to David and starting to move, she forced him to leave. Moving out of the room and into the different corridors of the brothel. ,,It seems your boys almost listen to me," she quipped, feeling him pull her closer in warning. His fingernails ran over her clothes and pressed warningly against her skin. She knew she had to be careful how she dealt with him.
One wrong word and she was sure he would lose his self-control. But she insisted, she wanted him to lose his temper, to hunt her down, to use her as his prey.
This feeling of anticipation, which she already had, filled her completely. But whether he also felt it or the short smirk on his lips was something else, she did not know.
At that moment she didn't care either, because she had grabbed him again and taken him through the corridors with her. ,,I never thought you would be so experimental for someone like you," he said as she continued to walk by his side. She knew that he was almost making fun of her.
He thought she was nothing more than a lustful prey who liked to have fun with monsters.
But even if there was something to this theory, it was all her actions and deeds that made her who she was. She did not have a cult of twenty vampires around her for nothing. She had to sacrifice a lot, but it was not in vain.
Paul, Dwayne and Marko protected her even though they had only known her for a few hours. She already had a certain power over the three of them, it would only take a while until she had David as well.
They would all give in eventually, she just had to push the right button. ,,There are many things you don't know Sir Jealousy...and yet here I am with you...and I didn't retreat" she murmured slowly knowing that he would understand everything.
She saw how his blue eyes narrowed almost invisibly when she called him sir. She already suspected that it would go with the blond in such a direction.
A monster and yet inside someone who was looking for love and affection in a mix of power and control because of his life. A description that suited him as she found and yet.
This search for power and control at the same time she didn't want to know how many had already died by his hand. Probably too many women as it was good. Her children had withdrawn the blood and the light and everything looked like new.
It was almost clear to her that he still smelled the blood, the dead and corpses. Her bloodbath and Marko seemed to cling to her and David seemed to hate that she didn't smell like him yet.
That she didn't belong to him yet, belonged only to him. But it didn't bother him that there was this bloodbath for him the fact seemed more important when they finally came into the room where they could give themselves to each other. or rather he finally had her for himself.
She was at his mercy and he could undermine her will. He wanted to end this resistance and insubordination, he could no longer stand it when she controlled everything under her just because she could.
It made no sense to the vampire why she had so much power without being powerful. ,,Retreat? Believe me you won't retreat and I certainly won't sweetie" he replied with a demanding look and stopped in the middle of the hallway.
It was only a few meters to the special room she wanted to take him to. Only a few meters until she had him where she wanted him.
Before she suddenly felt the wall at her back and the cold stone behind it almost painfully bored into her back. The smell of blood and smoke surrounded her as the blonde came closer.
His hands greedily drove over her body. I felt the cold spread to her body as he pushed his leg between hers. She only pressed further against the wall.
Giving her no escape. But before she could protest, she felt him force her into a deep kiss. His lips pressed on hers and he immediately bit. But no sound except a wince left her lip. She did not give him the satisfaction.
But it was exactly the satisfaction he wanted. And he hated that the control was not there. ,,Just give in, gorgeous," he murmured as he licked the blood from her lips. She gave him a warning look and told him not to push it too far.
Even though she knew her heartbeat was increasing, the heat on her cheeks was rising and her eyes showed a moment of lust. Her hand that was not on his torso reached into the small hidden pocket.
Grasped the handle of the object and almost dropped it when he again pushed her closer to the wall. He wanted more from her as he caught her scent and buried his face in the crook of her neck.
He seemed to get horny at her smell, to be attracted to her smell like a drug. Her beating heart called out to him and he wanted to drink her down to the last drop.
To bind her to him and turn her into one of them. She was to become his. She felt how he opened his mouth slightly, saw the pointed canines and knew that he would bite. That there was no stopping him.
But then as he bit she felt the taste of him going through her and a shot rang out before the blonde cried out and hurried away from her.
He held his side hissing painfully and the abnormal liquid ran from between his fingers. Her bullet made of wood had hit him in his side and brought him to the senses of pain.
But for the blond his look the ice blue eyes had a look of first fear and then confusion and finally anger. Taking advantage of the moment, she ran into the room, thundering the door shut behind her, drenching the room in darkness.
No light was turned on, none glowed, and only she seemed to exist in the room. Clasping the pistol in her hand tighter, her breath almost seemed to jump out of her chest, struggling to calm down, she knew it could all be a mistake now.
She knew that the shot was already dangerous if he wanted to kill her, but that was not what she wanted. ,,A strong boy like you...show Mama what you can do" she demanded and felt the breeze go through the room as he came closer. Moving through the darkness like a hunter, licking his lips and desiring her.
He finally wanted to grab her while she finally wanted him. She finally wanted to have him for herself, because even though she was the prey, the prey was also entitled to something from the hunter. His attention.
She felt how it became colder, his indignant rage increased. Before he struck, at the last moment she saw him coming out of the darkness towards her, his silhouette barely visible but still tangible. But he did not reach her before one of her protégés threw him back.
He disappeared again and gave David time to attack. ,,Don't hide, my little bird!" he demanded with lust and hunger, only more annoyed that he couldn't get to her and finally possess her. But it seemed no matter how many times he attacked the more often he was thrown back by her helpers. Until he was thrown back once by all of them.
He hit the ground again and instantly rebounded, only to pause in his movement. He smelled it, smelled the metal, the wood that could be deadly to him.
Smelled her confidence as she held the gun to her head. He caught himself as worry forced its way into his eyes and he became dependent on her.
Her good boy became. ,,Careful with the game," he warned, both to himself and to her, knowing that if she pulled the trigger, it was over. It was over and he and his brothers would die. But the certain kick that built up in him.
Her excitement and especially arousal seemed to make him almost go crazy as he bit his lips and realized that she had him right where she wanted him. ,,David, you can be good for me, can't you?" she asked, pulling back the trigger, playing with him from the beginning and even if he enjoyed the little back and forth between them it was still that he didn't want to lose her.
He knew that she would not give it forever but this game, this attention, this desire was something he carried inside him. ,,David, you can be good for me, can't you?" she asked, pulling back the cock of the gun.
She saw the challenge and fear reflected in his eyes before the shot rang out and the room fell silent. The sound of the shot faded and only her rapid heartbeat remained.
She had pulled the trigger, but David had come up behind her and yanked her wrist up so that the bullet had landed in the ceiling. They paused for a moment so she looked straight ahead and he at her.
His blue eyes did not leave her for fear that something might happen. Instead he slowly took his hand from hers and stroked it along her arm. He lowered his head and slowly walked around her, kissing her slowly, almost full of shame, along her arm.
Tried to take away her fear and excitement in his mind before he stood in front of her. She seemed to slowly release herself from her staare and let her hand wander upwards over his upper body.
Drove to his neck felt satisfied no pulse and the death cold. As he let his gaze lowered out of respect. She put her soft warm hand on his cheek and ordered him to look at her. He only slowly lifted his head before she wrapped him in a gentle kiss.
He slowly pressed her against him, taking her in his arms just to tease him, letting her fingers brush right over the bullet wound, which slightly rekindled the fire in him.
He gripped her tighter and yet he didn't seem to want to kill her. ,,You would have killed yourself...for me...why?" he asked slowly still almost too perplexed as if he didn't know how to deal with the situation. She gave him a knowing smile, her hand slid from his cheek to his shoulder and pushed him down lightly.
She felt him not wanting to give in before she buried her fingers in the wound again. His hiss gave her pleasure before he knelt down in front of her. The proudly overestimating David had brought him to this moment.
Looking up at her, his eyes heavy with lust and incomprehension, his leather gloves digging into his pants as she said, ,,To see you kneel before me David. My own gorgeous boy so good for me" before he came up to her, wrapped her in a kiss and pulled her to him in his shot. Kissing her again he caressed her and yet his claws dragged over her free skin.
The clothes tore and she gave her body so involuntarily free. ,,You're a monster just like us," he realized after she had not only walked over dead bodies but also shot him.
The thought that she would take her own life just to bind him to her made his curiosity and lust for her increase. She pulled back from the kiss and already felt his arousal on her leg.
She felt how the adrenaline that was still shooting through her body slowly lost its effect and finally wanted to have him. The vampire turned them both around and put them down on the hard floor.
He felt her goose bumps and enjoyed her life before reaching into his jacket pocket. Saw her eyes close in surprise as he lit his lighter and the flame lit the space between them.
Saw how she slowly seemed to understand what he wanted to do. He used his own way to make her come to him. ,,I know you can stand it for me" he murmured and reached for a cigarette in his coat pocket, towering over her again like a predator.
He wanted to have her at last, but his claws should be sunk into her first. He lit the drug that had no effect on his dead body and did not take his eyes off her.
She took the cigarette from his lips, took a puff of her own, and almost felt herself under his gaze. Enjoyed being so desired by him. A jealous boy she thought and almost smiled as he came closer to her again.
Sucked in her smell and smoke and took back the cigarette before almost gently reaching for her hand. He wanted to ruin her so much. He wanted to create a bloodbath, but unlike Marko, he wanted to be the one who lifted her up in it. He wanted to be the one she thanked.
She should look at him. Before he stubbed out the smoldering cigarette on her skin, he heard her stifled cry as she tried to grab her arm in the first moment. While she used her free hand to wrap her fingers around his aroused cock.
Giving him back the pain and the pleasure, she heard the sigh of the blonde who immediately rolled his hips against her hand in need. He wanted to get more of what he had been denied all night. ,,You need this power so badly, don't you?" she asked, taking her fingers from his sex for a moment.
She saw him coming closer to her again, wanting more of the touch. Only to press the cigarette to her skin again while she clutched his jaw. Forcing him to look at her she challenged him and slowly saw his nod.
He wanted to lower his gaze as much as he did when his creator was angry with him. ,,I would kill anything and anyone just to-" he began to confess to her, her burnt hand grabbing his hair and forcibly pulling him towards her, entangling him in another kiss.
Interrupting him, she felt his hands go to her breasts, massaging them, enjoying their warmth as they both let the kiss grow deeper and more intimate. While she felt him start to place himself in the right position. She was surprised when she felt his cold hands on her thighs.
The claws left red hot stripes and when he released himself from her kiss, he kissed his way along the stripes. And even though he wanted to burn her even more, it was his hunger that finally took over.
As he rammed his fangs into the soft flesh of her thighs. Her hands found their way into his slightly prickly hair and lovingly stroked his head like a mother.
But the pain was secondary, it only inspired her desire even more and to see him like this. So dependent on her was just everything. He bit more and more of her blood and his excitement only grew.
He held on to her more and more and she was sure that she would have never left the home of the four in any other way. She would have become one of them. Would have become their pretty little doll.
Her fingers still before lovingly stroking his head and a ,,So good for me" of himself gave. Before she only a moment later him hard away from her skin. Gave him a silent look saw how knew what she wanted before he gently bit her hand.
Apologetically made her understand that he would now take care of her. Not enough to make her bleed, but the feel of his black teeth on her skin was enticing.
Leaning back, feeling the coldness of the floor, he lightly pushed her bandages apart, repositioned himself and gave his sex a few more moves with his hand. ,,I'll take good care of you" she heard him murmur before he gently grabbed her leg and placed it on his shoulder she lay there completely for him and yet it was she who held everything in her hand.
Before he entered her she filled him and she knew he had done nothing wrong. Rising up for one, holding on to him and yet enjoying the feeling so much.
The first sounds of pleasure left her lips as David gently but firmly pushed her back to the ground. Kisses and small marks on her calf left which he kissed before he began to move.
A heartfelt sigh came over his bloody lips as the blood dripped from the corner of his mouth onto her body beneath him. She saw how it turned him on to see her like this.
How she slammed her eyes shut the lust behind them that flared up again and again when she looked at him. His gaze searched her heartbeat became faster, her smell of sex the blood on her body which he licked up greedily only to move faster.
She was so good for him and she knew that all the four of them needed was a mother. A mistress, someone they could give themselves to.
So they did, they all did and especially David did to her words of ,,Be a good boy to me". Moving faster he filled her as well as he could, entangling her further in kisses and feeling her tighten around his cock every time he bit her again and took more and more of his blood.
The two of them in the darkness tried to take their bodies together and the blood spread more and more on her body. The thought that he could see her, everything she did and every little movement. Her attention only on him wanted and how good he was.
She felt him slowly approaching her climax, tightening around him, his thrusts becoming more irregular a few minutes later as they both searched for the last release of the night. His claws clung to her hips and her hands held on to his clothes.
She searched his lips one last time before he poured into her and she came around him the groans of the two were muffled by the kiss. But despite the darkness he saw her disintegrate under him her lust at the climax.
Their heavy breathing was the only human thing that seemed to be in the room. After a few moments David slowly withdrew from her, took her leg from his shoulder and kissed it one last time.
He knew that it was even more exhausting for her than for him. ,,Thank you... for everything" he murmured and she knew that any moment he would return to the role of the leader. The grin would be on his lips and he would disappear with his group.
She saw the flare of the cigarette he lit again before he put his gloves back on, which he must have taken off at some point in the darkness. Wincing, she felt him stroke the burn and heard a satisfied sound.
He loved the fire, she realized as she slowly and carefully rose, trying to ignore the pain on her body, she suddenly felt him help her up. ,,Such a good mama's boy" she quipped and heard his smirk as she regained her composure and the two stood in the near darkness.
The glow of the cigarette lay between them and the blond slowly made his way to the door out of an impulse of discomfort.
She followed him slowly and they found themselves in the bright hallway. After several blinks she caught herself again and felt how exhausting this night actually was.
The lust and the act had drained her and yet she was glad to have made this offer to the four. ,,I see you enjoyed your night again," she heard the voice of one of her followers and loved ones as her clan reappeared from the shadows and handed her a robe, which she gratefully accepted.
She pulled the soft fabric over her body and was grateful to her protégés for giving her support. ,,The night is already over," she heard Paul rebuke as he sipped a last Bloody Mary and shook his head demonstratively.
Marko, on the other hand, was still enjoying the hand and looked over her body with a broad grin. David, on the other hand, faced her, took her hand in his and gently kissed the back of her hand.
The charm returned and she saw Dwayne smile slightly, giving her a small smile. It seemed like there was a special bond between them now. A friendship and yet more.
She knew about the desires of the four and the four the other way around. ,,So I guess we will see each other at the latest when the moon rises again" she said and the smaller clan smiled knowing it was true. They would probably see each other again sooner than it was good for their blood.
But when she brought the four to the door, she couldn't help but give them all a big grateful smile. ,,When the moon rises doll you can be sure that we can make a new offer" David said with a wink and Paul waved her goodbye while Marko waved his hand and Dwayne gave her a silent nod before the four vampires disappeared into the ending night.
The door to the blood drop closed again and the etambismo prepared for another night while the great vampire clan retreated into the darkness of the great realm and their human leader ended the night with a relaxing bath.
Knowing that the four would dream more than just about her. Would stray into her store again. But for that she was already and the blood stopper would have something for all guests. The dead and the living.

Tickletober day #4: Weak spot
The difference of writing RuiKasa when I want to vs when its requested is ASTONISHING. I haven't had this much fun writing a pjsekai fic since idk, and for my ot4 nonetheless💖
Special thanks to @mayatkls & @kairoscler for helping me come up with this idea + all the brainrot shared lmao
Tumblr media
___________________________________________
Rui x Tsukasa (poly wxs)
Lee: Rui
Ler: Tsukasa
Warnings: Tickles!
___________________________________________
Throughout his time in WonderlandsxShowtime, Tsukasa has witnessed many sides of Rui. From his genius inventions, to his more riskier ones; his serious moments and at his most vulnerable. Yet, he can’t ever recall seeing Rui laughing genuinly, only that silly “fufufu~” he does. As cute as it is, he needed more to satiaste his thirst for laughter. That was when Nene gave him the marvelous idea to ‘get it out himself’. Pretty vague idea, and yet it was enough to get the gears turning in Tsukasa’s head.
Later during rehearsal, Tsukasa pulled Emu aside, claiming he had a top secret mission for her.
“Really?! What is it?!” the pinkette bounced in excitement.
“Quiet down! We can’t let Rui know, now here’s what I want you to do…” the blonde whispered out his plan and before long, Emu went dashing for Rui.
“Rui-kun! Rui-kun!” she chirped out cheerfully as she found the purple haired male toying with Robo-Nene.
“Oh? What brings you here, Emu-kun?~” Rui had his usual sly grin, but that would soon change, hopefully.
“Tsukasa-kun wanted me to ask you if you’re ticklish!” Emu spoke with an innocent smile, while said troupe leader smacked himself in the forehead from the corner he was peaking through.
“Fufu~ Is that so? Then why don’t you tell him to find out himself~” Rui shot a playful wink at Tsukasa’s direction, earning a flustered grumble. The blonde had enough and decided to swallow down his pride this once and approach the target.
“C’mon, answer the question” Tsukasa tried to appear stern, placing his hands on his hips, earning another ‘fufu~’ from Rui.
“Sorry to disappoint, but I’m not” he stuck his tongue out cheekily, but before hope was lost, Nene intervened.
“Kamishiro Rui, we both know that’s a lie”
“Ahh okay okay, I admit. But will our dear troupe leader be able to find my tickle spot?~”
This whole mission was supposed to make Rui crumble in laughter, and yet Tsukasa found himself wanting to run away from embarrassment.
No!
He had to stay strong, in the name of research!... Or something like that. With a gulp, he spoke “Challenge accepted”.
After a moment of awkwardly reaching out to Rui, Tsukasa’s hands started to poke and prod at the usual tickle spots. His stomach, his sides, ribs, under his arms, but all he got was that stupid smug smirk that always turned him to goo.
“Oh c’mon! It’s gotta be somewhere!” the blonde groaned in frustration.
“I’d lend you a hand, but I think you’ll get there soon…~” Nene spoke in a slight teasing tone, causing Rui to send her a sheepish glare. His first flustered reaction of the day! But what did Nene mean by that? Could it be…
“Hmm…” Tsukasa trailed his short nails down Rui’s arms, watching as goosebumps arose over the skin.  The closer he got to the palm of his hand, the more Rui’s nervous smile grew. “No way, is it your hands?!” Tsukasa spoked in complete fascination, oblivious to how flustered it made Rui feel. He slowly circled his nails all over his palm, causing Rui’s fingers to twitch as he let out soft gasps and quiet giggles to himself.
“I- Aehehe! Yehes, you found it! You can stahap nohohow..!”
Tsukasa’s face morphed to a mischevious grin “Stop? But I still haven’t gotten a genuine laugh out of you!” the troupe leader spoke out in his dramatic theater voice. “Any suggestions from the croud? Hmm… how about you, with the pink hair and overly energetic personality!”.
“Yay!~” Emu cheered as she got closer to Rui’s ticklish hand, inspecting it with pressision. “How about… tickly kisses?!”
“You guhuys there’s no need- EEK?!” Rui’s face instantly flared up at the sudden squeal that rippled out of his throat, causing everyone in the room to stop and look at him, before they all burst out laughing in unison. Even Nene couldn’t hold herself back.
The greenette doubled over in laughter as Emu practically rolled on the floor from glee, while Tsukasa tried to steady himself on Rui’s shoulder.
“Ihi’m sorry! But… you hahave to admit, that was pretty cute~” Tsukasa shot a playful grin to Rui, causing the alchemist’s blush to grow in intensity. “And all tjat from a kiss! I wonder what happens when I…”
“When you- EHEEHEEP?! WAHAIT! TSUKASA! NOHOHO!” Rui giggled and squealed like a child as he felt Tsukasa’s teeth graze the sensitive skin, leaving  little nips and kisses wherever he went. The girls watched in awe the show in front of them. After a while, Tsukasa stopped to admire the beauty that was Rui giggling so high-pitched, cheeks fully red, and the brightest smile he had seen from the director ‘till this day.
“I’ll say, this mission was a success!~” Tsukasa pumped his fist into the air with a victorious smile. Although that didn’t last long as he got jabbed in the side, making him squeal in turn.
“How about you, superstar? Any tickle spots?~” Rui grinned down evily. Tsukasa was instantly a blushing and stuttering mess.
“W-wait! Don’t try anything! Nene, Emu, save me‼!” the blonde’s voice fell deaf as it turned into unhinged, obnoxious louder.
“We’re fine from here. Have fun, leader…~” Nene gave a smirk as she and Emu watched this new spectacle unfold.

Miguel
In June 2023, Ishida posted a short story about Miguel from the Jack Jeanne winter play for Fumi's birthday. The original post includes a drawing and a music link to listen to as you read. I'm still just an amateur, but I did my best to translate it to English. I also tried to maintain the poetic Twitter short story structure as much as possible. (Note that this has both plot and character spoilers about the winter play)
Tumblr media
Miguel, as a child on the prosperous Neshiromi Farm, Lived happily outside of Havenna.
Sowing seeds in hot summers and passing time through cold winters, Bore plentiful good fruit.
2. Neshiromi fruit, with its long-protected cultivation traditions, Boasted a mellow fragrance and refreshing sweetness. When trading with merchants from the northern cities, it would sell out in less than a few days.
3. Miguel loved his work. In the village, life was too busy to even notice boredom But, in this quiet life, nothing felt missing.
One day he would inherit the family business, And be joined in marriage to the house of a daughter of a respectable family friend. It would then be his turn to pass the ancestors' traditions on to his descendants.
There was no conceivable path other than this.
4. The battle in the north continued into its 47th winter. Shadows of the flames of war extended towards Miguel's village.
Soldiers armed with bayonets arrived. The crop fields were devastated to shreds. His father, mother, and even his grandmother with a long-time leg injury, were all killed. The house was set aflame.
In the village, the ones being utterly crushed underfoot in the inferno and the screaming, Miguel turned his back on them, and fled alone.
5. He was headed for Havenna.
In that city whose name he once heard, The pleasure and the numbness, was said to make one forget everything. For Miguel, this was necessary.
He could only keep walking.
There was absolutely nothing but ruined land and yet, Like a fool, he continued
6. Upon reaching Havenna, Miguel started work in a room of the night.
As he had nothing, his only option was to sell himself.
Every night, he filled the loneliness of random strangers. As the days added up, he sensed a growing thirst inside.
In the overwhelm of his own misery, whenever he was alone, He remembered life in his hometown and cried often.
7. He wanted support from someone but, Fleeing the village alone made him ashamed of himself. Even to close friends, he was unable to open his heart.
By going to these lengths simply to gather money, He felt as if he was becoming defiled.
Gradually, this grew into a sense of punishment for his sins. He thought instead that he deserved to become defiled.
8. At this same time, a woman in a similar line of work Became friends with him. She was a liar. It was carefree and easy.
When they had free time, they would purchase it from each other. It supported him living in Havenna, however; He thought they would never be truly close.
He liked her, but all possible paths seemed to lead to ruin, So he was afraid.
9. At one point, he fell in love with his friend's friend. Despite being in Havenna, she was inexperienced and pretty.
10. Rukiora. "Farewell to the night" He thought the name quite strange, but it seemed to be her real name.
His heart was stolen by her clear singing voice. He could never say it, but he wanted her all to himself he tho-….
11. Rukiora always dreamt of a future outside of Havenna.
Outside of Havenna was beautiful, it was fun. Everything would happily exist out there for certain.
He wanted to tell her for her sake. Someday she would know the truth and he wanted to keep her from being hurt.
12. "You're wrong, Rukiora. The outside is wasteland as far as the eye can see. The rice paddies, the fields, they aren't there. I know this. It's where I came from."
13. (Neji's note/ Miguel leaves Havenna. On his departure, he tells Rukiora one final lie. He returns to his homeland and begins sowing seeds.)
[Note: Ishida says that these are his personal ideas so they aren't considered proper canon without Towada as they both created the game closely together. Towada retweeted the thread.
I also wanted to acknowledge a Japanese friend (who asked to stay anonymous) for their help.]

Fuck it here’s part two of
My Ranking of How Quickly I’d Let These Fictional Men Rearrange My Organs
Still BotW/TotK edition because look at these men
You get the point, it’s gonna be hella NSFW because read the title
Oh but also this time I’m formatting the prompts like Stanzi Potenza’s “Animated Men I Would Sell My Body To At a Discount Price, The Discount Being Free Because I Would Never Make These Fine Gentlemen Pay For a Whore Like Me” series on YouTube
Cuz why not
But also this is just me thirsting after the most atrocious and/or attractive men in the Zelda universe
6. Master Kogha
This man may not be a fine dining experience, but he’s definitely worth your time for a banana or two.
A solid six-out-of-ten, the only thing that rivals your hatred for his superhero alter ego is his dad bod that puts furry artists on Twitter to shame.
They say that everything’s better with friends, and this man has a couple that would sweeten the deal, and as it happens, red spandex is absolutely up my alley.
A dork playing glorified dress-up doesn’t sound fun until his devotion to a demon king threatens an entire nation, and I am 100% here for it.
5. Revali
Fun fact, my favorite bird to eat is chicken, partially because I’m basic, but also because I could see myself sinking my canines into that cock.
His aim is im-peck-able, pun intended and unashamed, and he’s certain to get a bullseye into my heart.
I know he’s an egomaniac, but in the deep, dark, crevices of my mind, I know he’s mentally ruined. It’s the lifelong trauma and the “I can fix him” for me.
I love Rito clothing, especially since this man’s version of is the sluttiest thing on earth. After looking at him, I’m certain I’m not getting cold anytime soon.
He could treat me like the scum of the earth and I’d still be on all fours polishing his arrow free of charge. He’s like if a Disney prince realized he was a Disney prince.
4. Daruk
The only Goron I’d let pound me like a quarry, this man has warmed my heart like the fiery maw of his hometown’s tourist trap.
I could write a fifty-page essay about how this man’s kindness makes My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic look like more of a joke than it already is.
I know what I’ve said about Gorons literally crushing me to death, but as long as his words of encouragement are the last thing I hear as he erupts inside of me like Death Mountain, that’s all that really matters.
That loincloth isn’t doing much in the way of covering up his Boulder Breaker, and for that, I thank the weak fabric for its service to our nation. On the plus side, it’s white, so if he ever walks in the rain, that cloth’s purpose in life will have been fulfilled.
The fact that he has a grandson makes him not just a DILF but a GILF. In my opinion, fathers age like wine, so this is a win-win for me.
Combined with his white beard which resembles a mane more than facial hair, he’s like Santa if Santa was somehow both more and less cuddly at the same time.
And I know he’s afraid of dogs, but personally, that’s fine. I’m more of a cat person anyway.
3. Teba
Take everything I said about Revali and multiply it by the “white hair equals sexy” principle, and you have the new Rito chief.
I didn’t think it was possible to find anyone edgier than the spirit inside of the Master Sword, but here we are.
It is taking every ounce of my soul not to say “I can fix him” because clearly, I can’t and he doesn’t want me to.
. I would let him cry his heart out after nearly losing everything near and dear to him. There’s no shame, sweetie.
His wings are long, and I know of a few things that are longer. Given that he has procreated, it’s clear that the hot springs aren’t the only things that’ll be hot and steamy after a night with him.
Speaking of which, he’s a loving parent and a loving husband, which makes him a DILF, and let me tell you, the second that word becomes an adjective, the snow isn’t the only white thing covering the Hebra mountains.
If he could fly me into the skies, I would watch the sunset with him in silence as we realized the real magic was inside us all along or something like that. Whatever makes him happy, and yes, if he asks for it, that includes me swallowing a few of his bird eggs.
2. Tauro
Finally, a himbo the people can rely on.
We love seeing strong, partially-head-empty men being strong, partially-head-empty men.
Only I’m pretty sure this himbo is actually smart.
Idk I haven’t played enough or focused enough in Kakariko to find out lol
This man is investigating the ring ruins but he forgot about the ring he he to put on my finger.
He is giving “I’m going to save the world” and we love that. If you don’t, I see why- I did just say I liked villains- but I’m a double-sided coin.
Speaking of coins, flip one: head or tails? Which part of me is going to need to be replaced by Rauru? I don’t know, and quite frankly, I don’t care.
I personally have some depths for him to explore, and let me tell you, it’s gonna be the cave feeling his gloom infiltrate every orifice instead, and the cave will thank him.
His hair is giving the Hot Topic version of Melanie Martinez, and let me tell you, if I wasn’t a Crybaby, this man would have turned me.
I just love that every single Hylian around is taller than Link. I also love, however, that this man also towers over them too. Honestly, that makes things even better for me personally.
As long as Miss Papaya over there doesn’t realize that Link isn’t half the hero her grandma made him out to be, we won’t have problems. No worries here, chief, just doing some Zonai excavating.
1. King Dorephan
It’s known that this man singlehandedly defeated a Guardian, but judging by his measurements, all of which make the Empire State Building look like a stack of building blocks, it’s not hard to see how.
The leader of the Zora, this man is guaranteed to make any traveler feel right at home- hopefully, between the two logs he calls legs and the other two which he uses for other less savory deeds.
Not that I would mind, he could stretch my throat out to a time when the community will stop complaining about how the company keeps retconning the story with one and turn me into a make seahorse during conception with the other and I’d still have room. I have no shame.
If his son is a ten, he would have still been a ten before inflation.
You have to love a rich man with anatomically-correct shark organs. Jaws was really just my wake-up call after all, but not really because I like my men to talk dirty.
All I ask for in life is for this DILF to stretch me like taffy and squash me like a grape. Once that is achieved, I don’t care what Ganon does to Hyrule- I found my own sacred realm, thank you very much.

Fic Updates
It's been a while soo....
I Want You to Show Me Weak — As I've stated before, there are only 2 chapters left in the entire fic. I'm going to be finishing both of them before I post chapter 28. Then I'll be posting chapter 29 the next day. Gonna end the fic with a bang 😏 I have everything outlined and thought out, I just have to finish writing it (I'm very excited about what I have planned/written for the final chapter, which includes the ending). Though I will admit, it's been difficult to write knowing I'll be saying goodbye to this story. I'll miss my boys SO much 😭, as well as this version of Kino x Reader, but I want to finish it for myself and for all of you! Besides, there's always the possibility of oneshots set in this universe in the future AND I'm not done writing for Kino. Not even close! I have no date estimate at the moment, but I'm trying to give this one my full attention so 🤞
The Devil Makes Us Sin — Once Show Me Weak is done, I'm going to give this one my full attention for a while. (Though, to be honest, even though I'm trying to focus on finishing Kino first, I still keep this document open and regularly pop in to write a paragraph or two. What can I say, David is VERY fun to write for 😏, I love him, and I must follow the serotonin). The next few chapters will be shorter so they should go quickly, and I already have around the next 4 of them half written (I actually have about ~25k of future stuff written last time I checked, including parts of chapters MUCH further down the road 😅).
Other Wips
While my focus has been on my ongoing stories, I do have a few other WIPs I have actual content written for! So here's an update on those as well. For fun.
Personal Trainer!Kino x Reader Modern AU — I have the beginning of this story and a few scenes written, and SO many notes for it. (My relationship with my trainer is fantastic. He's 50% big brother energy, 50% wingman energy, but he says THE most out of pocket shit so I immediately write it down after my sessions. Because him saying it does nothing for me, but imagining Kino saying it?? 😵‍💫🫠🥵) It will probably end up ~5 chapters total. Probably.
And Your Heart, Love, Has Such Darkness (David x Reader smutty Oneshot) — I started this one a year ago because I wrote something for TDMUS that didn't quite fit, but I liked it enough to keep it and make it its own thing. It's over half done right now, so it will likely be the next oneshot I post.
I Didn't Want to Hurt You, but You're Pretty When You Cry (Dark!David x Reader) — I think this one will end up about 3 chapters long and will contain a lot of content warnings. It's going to be more horror focused (with splashes of dark humor because I cannot help myself). I adore the opening chunk I've written. It gave me goosebumps.
Secret Andy Blorbo x Reader Oneshot — This one started as a joke on Discord about an Andy blorbo that is not only incredibly niche/unknown, but is actively not attractive (one of the very rare times Andy Serkis does nothing for me. In fact, when I see him, my vagina makes the windows shutdown noise). Except I made the mistake of saying, "I want to try to write for this character as a fun challenge just so I can sexually confuse everyone." And it, uh, spiraled from there and made me rethink my entire stance on this character (thank you for not only indulging me, Hannah, but encouraging me and giving me more ideas 💖 I loved [redacted] thirst day in TNBF)
Halsin x Tav — That's right, I'm writing for the sexy druid. It'll be 2 chapters, and it's about a third of the way finished. This Tav will be a human fighter, but is otherwise written more like a Reader Insert. (Side note: going back to 3rd person POV after writing a lot of 2nd person POV is harder than I imagined 🙃)
Paz Vizsla x Mando!Reader Oneshot — That's right, I'm also writing for the big Mandalorian. It's about a third of the way finished as well. (These last 2 are actually a little intimidating because the fandoms are MUCH larger, but I need to get them out sooo fuck it, it's happening.)
So as you can see, even though I haven't posted very much outside of Liam Black, I'm still writing a lot. Apparently I just have commitment issues and a lot of ✨thots✨ 😌💖

# Genre: A love story of 2 students. Friends to lovers. Frenemies lol. College crush. Heartthrob and the struggling student.
# Story: You guys were coworkers who fell for each other. You got to live the typical love phrase of ones life. Romance was never a thing more than fictional books but when you met each other you felt electricity in your body. Pure feelings involed. Puree reference to 90s movies. Especially bollywood movies. Like it!
Lovers. In one word you felt for their personality. Yoy fell for a beautiful human not only from outside but truly amazing from the inside. The chaotic day in your life brought you to them. Love, ishq. "Ishq" is actually the keyword here, (it means love in hindi or urdu idk.) A story about 2 people becoming each others peace. Becoming each others lovers. You guys complete each other. Past life connection for those who believe. You feel complete with them. A feeling that was only in books and movies is what you feel in real life with this relationship.
You met this person at the moment when you least expected them. When you were fighting for yourself. They gave you a hand when you were struggling. They offered you help and their shoulder when you needed without even you saying anything at all. They surprised you every day showing you a better version of themselves when you thought they were already perfect.

You guys started hanging out together. Buddies (?) Partner in crime. You felt for their risky but gentle personality lol. Someone is very careful of the other and the other one is literally the dare devil lol.
Overwhelming feelings for each other but hesitant to express. Shy or just careful of your feelings. You don't want to say about your feelings. You guys don't know how to word it. Your feelings bother you alot but no one wants to bring out the topic of falling for each other.
Sudden act of love is what reveals the feelings. The overwhelming feelings of these individuals. Sudden kiss, closeness etc. Passionate love. Extremely passionate and addictive love. Crazy for each other. You made each other your pain, happiness basically your feelings is whole all of them. You become happy when you see their smile.
Alot of physical closeness. More like daring and risky closeness not shameless lol. Respect for each other but still alot of passion. You do the most crazy things ever! Still you understand each other so well. You fight like cats and dogs sometimes but someone pulls the other person harshly into a passionate kiss. Full of feelings.
This relationship have freshness. Getting wet in the rain. Sitting in a shelter to avoid rain. Rain. It rains alot and almost every day when you are experiencing the start of this relationship. Also peace, its like putting water into fire, quenching ones thirst. It's what your relationship is!

♡ Group 3
# Genre: fun relationship dynamic. Cool and chill type. Everyday life.
# Story: You guys started dating by chance or got arranged mostly. You liked their cool and carefree, charming personality. You are treated like a literal queen by them. They literally worship the ground you walk on. You think of you as a goddess, blessing. Their heart melt and they get flustered whenever you are around.
They think of you as the most prized possession ever in their life. Elite. You are elite to them lol. It makes me think of a story like a rich kid got married to a person who had a crush on them and now they want to do everything to make them happy and comfortable. Do enough for them.
They do silly things with full sincerity for you. They make your heart warm by their actions. "Cute" you often mumble this word while watching them. They are very famous in their area also i heard lol. They act silly infront of you but otherwise they are actually very wise.
They got the biggest crush on you! They are genuine about their feelings and acts towards you! Literally a ball of happiness and like bubblegum. They are like the sweetest melody in your life. A total genre change! This person has a unique personality or their personality changes from "daddy/mommy" to "baby" around you.
They try their bestestest to make you smile and then they faint seeing your smile lol. Shy but cheeky. Flirtatious but also gets shy and blushes after 1 line of flirting lol. You find happiness and excitement in their way of living life. Simple but chaotic and CUTE!!!
# Keywords: pink, yellow, crush, dance, romantic, glasses, funny, entertainment, contentment.
. . .
♡ Group 4
Genre: separation, missing, break up, loss, distance, new beginnings.
Story: this story is different. An unfinished ending. Maybe not unfinished but unwanted. Longing. It's like you guys will get separated for a long time before coming into union. You guys accepted the distance and longing but you still have a light of hope that one will come back.
You guys look into the unknown future with hope lighting up in your heart. Pain and suffering. You guys have alot of patience. Really!! You don't feel annoyed (?) But restless for sure for them. But you guys are still praying and patient.
You had a very healing relationship. You guys were each other's sleep, medicine and divination. You guys found comfort in each other. You had some kind of inconvenient relationship according to society but you guys knew the true meaning of your relationship.
Pure relationship is what I'll describe the feeling as! It has lust like group 2 but it's more for soul. Bringing your souls closer is what it meant. Whatever happened you guys separated for some kind of betterment for the other person (trust me ik it's annoying but trust the process.)
I will not say you will not meet them again. Probably you will. You guys will not feel excited but broken and feel like crying when you meet each other. Like your patience has come to an end!!
Keywords: family. White sheets, early morning, sunrise, cuddling, streets, breeze, sincerity.
. . .
That is all!! I hope you liked my pick a card/picture reading. Please do leave your feedback as it is the most important motivation for me! Love ya <3

LISTENERS OF THE PODCAST!...no that doesn't work either. Y'all really gotta help us find a cool name for the listenership, all our creative energy goes into actually making the show...lol.
September is here, and that means the fall series is on its way. As usual, the month before we air is our intensive recording period, which means it's questions and comments time. We always love hearing from our listeners, so drop something in our ask box and it may be featured on the show! Expanding the conversation outward has always been the goal of the pod, so please join in and talk (nice) to us.
Season 4 of The Conversation is (tentatively, Miss NiNi's got a lot going on) scheduled for release over the back half of October, so look out for that. We've got a fun treat to celebrate the third anniversary of I Told Sunset About You, as well as our usual deep dives and lukewarm takes on the summer shows. Until then, if you miss us our back catalogue is always there for you. You can listen to Ben imploring you to let go of Calvinism, or NiNi thirsting for Man Trisanu whenever you like.
See y'all soon!

I'm a jikooker and I'm done with the narrative change few bloggers here are doing remarks bday because somehow Jimin couldn't meet JK on his bday and they don't wanna accept that.
bc nowhere has jm or jk said that "jm didn't see jk" anon...
jk said he was going to be very busy, jm said he called jk on Aug 31st and jk was busy and he hopes jk maintains his health, jm said for fans to wish jk happy birthday
said JK was busy ON THE day of his bday and Mingyu may have met him at company..now that JK already confirmed he didn't went to work and was lying all day, they are changing their narrative to JK being busy on 31st, which he was and Mingyu went to meet him at home.
bc the boy (jk) did a nine minute long live just to go lie down all day??
also as it has been said many times, jk said he was going to busy, so that's not a crazy assumption to make, mingyu works at hybe (seventeen) so that was an option for them to see eo
also changing/correcting your opinion after coming across new information isn't inherently wrong, it's normal lol
we knew nothing about what jk did on his actual birthday, now we know he at least was lying down for most of it
In both cases according to what Jimin said its crystal clear he didn't saw JK on his bday and WHY ARE WE NOT ACCEPTING IT ???? ok, he used to meet JK for all his previous bdays and ? Does that make Jimin not meeting JK for his 2023 bdah impossible? NOPE.
no it's not??
it's a little confusing if before no matter how far away or busy jm was, he saw jk on his (jk's) birthday
getting mad a people bc (1) we don't have all the facts and people are making assumptions or spreading lies (2) we're adjusting to a possible first time for jm and jk, is actually insane anon...
If he saw JK he would've said i saw him yesterday/today (LIKE HE SAID HE COULDN'T MEET JOON FOR HIS LAST BDAY SO HE DOESNT HAVE ANY PROBLEM IN SHARING WHETHER HE MET OR DIDNT MET MEMBERS FOR THEIR BDAYS).
"like he said he couldn't meet nj" exactly, jm didn't say sh*t about whether he saw jk or not on the day of jk's birthday
and he has no problem saying if he didn't so...
But that didn't happened, He spoke to JK on 31st night and that's it, accept it already.
that's not it... tf are you actually talking about??
Now if one day JK come live and say he didn't saw Jimin, then what ? Will they change their narratives again????
well yes... we'll have all the information and one of jkk would have actually said "jm did not see jk on jk's birthday" for the first time
Can I ask why tf this is so important?
(1) it's doesn't make sense (a first, both in skr, lying down all day)
(2) debunking lies (jm never said he didn't meet jk)
I haven't seen Jkkrs being this invested in what JK does for Jimin's bday.
why are you lying???
(1) before jk posted the iconic "it's not over yet" selca before tokyo, jkkrs were being downright vile to jk... and when jm posted his tokyo vlogs and jk hadn't posted gcft, jkkrs were acting like jk didn't have fun on the trip and only jm cares in their relationship
(2) bts were in amsterdam on tour (2018) and jk hadn't yet posted for jm's bday, jm's birthday ended in SOUTH KOREA but it was STILL JM'S BDAY WHERE BTS WERE and jkkrs were being weird as hell to jk, then jk did post on jm's birthday in the time zone they were in
(3) jk didn't post for jm and was crucified, not only by jkkrs but army
(4) before the thirst trap video dropped, jkkrs were once again being weird to jk, joking about dropping him and jikook bc hobi was spamming about jm
Some years he didn't even wished jimin on sm let alone seeing or giving him gifts..so why is it only Jimin held to a high standards?
jk was attacked so many times for that... tf are you talking about?
Please stop this clownery when we don't have any evidence in Jimin meeting JK on 1st. If anything, as of now it seems like all Jimin did was to call JK on 31st. And that's OK
no it doesn't??
y'all making snap judgements either way is weird, just wait if you are doubtful, bc this is verging on calling jm and/or jk a liar
Louder anon, for those haters in the back!

i would just like to SPECIFY and go into a bit of detail about what each thing actually means:
this may not seem so bad, but when i mean they will comment on anything, i mean anything. it doesnt have to be marauder-related. it doesn’t even need to be related to harry potter. i saw a tiktok on a gorilla eating a banana and someone deadass commented “thats cool and stan james potter 😝” and lord FORBID if you include anything with snape in it. want to make an edit of him? backlash. want to talk about how you like him because hes interestingly written? backlash. want to deconstruct his character due to how badly fanon twisted him and actually analyse him? “anyways stan james potter” may be the dominant response to that, just so you know.
“sirius would never say that about mary!” said the marauder fan, heartbroken. “canon sirius would hate himself in atyd!” i respond usually with “canon sirius is a white boy in the 70s, hes not the ‘slay feminist yass 😍’ king you think he is.” this elicits quite a plethora of negative reactions, and i understand why. misogyny is stinky, no one wants their favourite character to be acting like that. so this option doesn't mean "fans who like a characterisation of sirius black that isn't necessarily time period realistic," but rather "fans who deny canon evidence for a fanon conception and then hate on things that expand on the canon evidence provided to them." "they are wizards, which isn't realistic, but you choose the time period misogyny as a hill to die on?" the marauder fan replied to me (and im quite literally quoting on what a creator said to me, this isn't an exaggeration). meanwhile canon sirius black: *harrasses snape for dressing more femininely/more outside gender norms* yeah and you think that boy would be a feminist...
you may think to yourself: when did [insert ship] become a thing? why is this happening? who even is this person? most of the time, it's all in good fun, sometimes, however, ships are created that purely contradict the entire point of said character. snily was criticised for doing exactly this, and now look at where we are.
after reading these points, you may come to the conclusion: holy shit the problem is just marauders fans. in fact, you may take it one more and remember more shit that had occurred due to this sub fandom of the harry potter universe. ever been criticised for not characterising purely fanon (dorcas, marlene etc etc) characters properly? ever been attacked for calling out the hypocritical stanning of barty, evan, regulus and peter whilst piling all blame onto bellatrix or snape? yeah me too babes.
i know we've talked about tiktok a lot, but i raise one more thing: the inescapable hell that is dracotok. this usually consists of those young teenage girls thinking they are very hardcore for participating in death eater practices despite its mirroring of being violent oppressors on a discriminated group so they can impress none other than draco malfoy. this, or they're the badass 'girlboss' that can change him. completely and ironically misunderstanding the point of his character aside, every cringey POV/thirst trap you have EVER seen on tiktok is probably replicated and 10x worse on dracotok.
i swear i haven't heard the term "gryffindork" since 2016, but alas, there has been a comeback. i call hogwarts legacy fans 'baby' hp fans, because i seriously do believe that these people have not interacted with the fandom until now. that would be okay if they weren't regressing everyone to early 2000s discourse. are gryffindors not being invited to ravenclaw, hufflepuff and slytherin raves that deep? no. but those three houses wouldn't be having raves in the first place
we've all seen them, need i explain or go into detail? "b-but harry doesn't have any chemistry with ginny!!" so he does with DRACO of all people? "b-but lily and james are basic!" dont forget the roots from whence you came. its misogyny within the fandom disguised as allyship or whatever the hell this is. ship your ships, but leave the gals alone
this didn't get on my nerves until i suffered from years and years of randoms going into detail about why slytherin/hufflepuff was the best harry potter house and then getting genuine mad when idgaf. maybe you have experienced this tragedy too. there are grown people getting into genuine online beef with others because they made a joke about slytherin being evil or hufflepuff being useless. makes me think you are just evil and useless (just kidding, but please wake up and realise that slytherin & hufflepuff quite literally do not exist)
i sympathise for people who like snape, i do. i do not sympathise for those who attempt to justify or excuse his actions. this normally comes with a side dish of misogyny, because more often than not they will find a way to blame it on lily. other times, they will blame his trauma. i want to be clear: his trauma explains his actions, it doesn't excuse them. that is the whole point of him ruining his chances with lily (not even as a lover, but as a companion). you are doing your own injustice to his character by trying to make him innocent, please stop
it's understandable why the cursed child is so hated. it's meant to be seen, not read, in my opinion. there's a lot of things in it that i too wish didn't exist. but that doesn't make it "not canon" because it upsets you. and of ALL the things that these types of people would choose to complain about, these are the things they chose: albus potter's namesakes (we've been going on about this for years like can we stop now please), harry being a 'bad dad' (think about his own upbringing a tiny bit more and maybe your brain can make a little more sense of his actions), delphi being voldemort's child (probably the only thing that i agree with these people on), and albus' name again because they REALLY hate it (but then they will counter this by saying "james sirius" is a good name, when it's still mid asf). anyway, it doesn't matter how much you squeeze your eyes shut and writhe around about it, the cursed child is canon. soz lol

GRACE F1 LORE
Thanks for tagging me @wisteria-wisteria <3
1. Who or what got you into F1?
Basic bitch answer but my dad. He was a big fan, and his dad was a fan. I was plonked infront of the TV to watch it as a kid, and grew up never missing a race. That was until Sky Sports braught it off chanel 4, and now my family can't afford to watch it anymore. I have to pirate it now coz I AINT PAYING 50 A MONTH go fuck yourself Sky Sports.
2.Who was the very first F1 driver you supported? Do you support them now? Have your opinions on them differed or stayed the same since then?
Probably Lewis? Or Jenson? I was (still am) a Mclaren fan as a kid, and my dad always cheered on English drivers, so I just copied him. I still love them both now, my opinions havn't changed on them at all!
3.Who’s your current favourite F1 driver?
Current grid? Probably Max, Fernando or Oscar. They are all so so talented, it's just a pivalidge to watch them drive. I think they're all really funny in their own ways too.
My favourite driver ever? Senna, obviously. Or Prost.... Can't ever pick.
4.Is there a driver pairing or pairings you support? What made you attracted to that pairing in the first place?
I support all and any pairings. F1 RPF in all forms is delicious thankyou. My faves are: Prost X Senna, Carlos X Lando, Max X Charles, Peroni X Villeneuve, George X alex, Mika X Michael, and Nigel X Elio.
The only ship I don't really vibe with is Pierre X Charles? Like idk I just don't feel it. But I'll still read it so lol
5. Do your parents, siblings or relatives have a favourite team and/or favourite driver(s)?
My dad supports Mclaren same as me. My sister isn't really into it? She finds charles hot and will watch edits of him but shes never watched a race or really gives a shit about the actual driving. Shes here for the thirst traps and Ferrari merchandise and I respect that so much.
6. Do you have any favourite races? Are there any that stand out to you the most?
Dallas, Texas 1984. What a fucking shit show. Absolute comedy sketch. Everything about that dumb race is so funny to me.
7. Do you have a favourite circuit? Can be from the past or from the current calendar.
Hungaroing! It was the first F1 race I ever attended, and the joy I get out of watching it and screaming 'IVE BEEN THERE IVE BEEN THERE' never leaves. The first race in person was special, so hungaoring is special now too.
8. Have you ever been to an F1 race in real life? Feel free to tell us your experience going to one if you like
Yes. And I don't know why but I was so shocked at how friendly everyone was. I think I was expecting it to be like football, but everyone got along so well no matter the teams ect. I always get general admission now, because its so much fun to sit and make new friends with other F1 freaks!!! Everyone shares food, alcohol, blankets, brollies ect- its alwaus such a good atmosphere at everywhere I've been.
9. Have you ever met an F1 driver in real life?
Yes. Seb and Jenson. In the same day. I nearly exploded, but actually managed to come off very normal and composed.
10. Do you have a favourite F1 car? If so, what is it?
McLaren MP4/4 1988.
LOOK AT IT
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The details, the colours, the absoulte perfection of the livery, and of course the V8 underneath that gave way to MCAREN DOMINATION. Shes perfect.
11. Do you have a favourite one win wonder?
Gerhard Berger or charles.
12. Do you have any favourite quotes from the F1 world? This can either be inspirational or hilarious.
Anything that comes out of Alain Prost's mouth. That man should be a fucking poet. Also- "I'm cuming on your camera mate" hahah
I tag @astirian , @bluesourkiwi , @kimizilla , @whobuilthemoon , @penseesauvageand @eliorosb3rg. Or whoever wants to do itttt love u all

The concept of a Fallout TV show is so patently absurd to me that I'm genuinely shocked it's received so much positive reception thus far. For one thing, it is clear to me from its recent releases that Bethesda has simply run out of things to say. For another, if Fallout 4 wasn't enough to tell us that they don't respect really respect Fallout so much as like the charm of its setting, Fallout 76 certainly should have disabused us (Fallout enjoyers) of any notion that they care about the IP, understand it, and/or wish to use it to say or explore anything meaningful. But even if I thought Bethesda or Todd Howard was a good steward of the IP, the games are primarily RPGs and vehicles for exploration. I am not a big fan of television in general, and of course that impacts my opinion here, but television does not seem like a medium that could meaningfully mirror the experience of wandering into those distant hills to find them covered in enemies that kill you in seconds, leveling up through hours of combat in deeply thematic and compelling places in order to accomplish important goals of yours, then returning through that same area far stronger than those enemies, only to encounter even stronger enemies elsewhere and repeat the process. And those elements of the game are what make Fallout games playable- especially in Fallout 4, no one is solely playing because the preset story is so compelling, and plenty of players entirely ignore it. In that game and the better Fallout games preceding it, that process of developing a unique way of fighting and dealing with conflict, the sense that you never know what will be around the corner to find or to fight, all of those gameplay elements are thematically echoed in the story and in elements of life as an individual trying to make it after the bombs drop. This is a series of games where players routinely choose to flip on a gameplay switch that forces them to manage their thirst levels in a world full of mostly radioactive water, and they do it just for fun. None of that translates well to a medium which requires that you sit and watch a story that somebody else already crafted be told to you. It's legitimately baffling to me.
