Foundation S2:08 The Last Empress — some thoughts

As Apple TV+ wends its way towards the end of Foundation season 2, the latest episode (The Last Empress) draws a lot of the threads closer together. You can now see several pieces lining up for what I presume will be a big final two episodes. Overall I’d say if you like this season, you’ll really like this episode. Personally I find lots to like, but still rail against some of the…

if reqs r closed pls ignore this sorry im genuinely so blind so idk if u were taking them rn, but can i request “the captain will have to get involved pretty soon” situation from that fic where a new lieutenant joins, overall just like a part 2 where price does have to get involved 😭😭 like ghost is just so annoyed with this man

Hey reader! 🍫 No need to worry; I don’t have a “policy” on requests apart from the nsfw thingy (i don’t know how to write smut). Whatever comes, I accept it wholeheartedly! :)

Synopsis: Ghost and the new Lt. get in a fight. Price handles the situation accordingly and nobody is happy.

Relationship: Simon “Ghost” Riley x F!Reader, Captain John Price

Word Count: 1,112

Notes:

For those who haven’t read Part 1, here it is.

Lots of swearing and mentions of physical injuries. Other than that, it’s fluff.

Want more?

———————————————————————

Yup. Unfortunately, the Captain had to get involved in the end.

Not just him, though; an entire room full of trained soldiers had to jump in and separate Ghost from almost strangling Lt. Wilson, or “Mr Toothless,” as he often referred to him.

Why “Mr Toothless”, you may ask? Well, Ghost decided to baptize the new lieutenant with that nickname for a couple of reasons.

First, he took your comment about Wilson’s fake teeth to heart. “If they’re fake,” he reasoned, “that means the fucker is already toothless and wears veneers to cover ’em up.”

And when you told him that’s not true since some people undergo cosmetic surgery to improve something they might have suffered an injury from, Ghost came up with his second reason as to why the new lieutenant is—or rather will be—toothless.

“Might have suffered an injury?” He contemplated. “Well, he’s about to suffer another one when I knock them out again.”

So, it was either “Mr. Toothless over there” or “Mr. Future Toothless one again.” Whatever the case, Ghost never called him by his real name, which started to piss off Lt. Wilson a whole lot. And that’s how it all escalated.

The breaking point came while at the briefing room, with Price at the head of the table and the two lieutenants seated across from each other. The rest of the team was strategically scattered around, avoiding being too close to Riley or Wilson. They were like furnaces, ready to burst at any time and burn you along with them, so you all figured it was best to stay as far away from them as possible.

Price was dividing the teams for the new mission: Team Alpha (Ghost’s Team) had to reach the target’s point by air, while Team Bravo (Wilson’s Team) would travel by land. The tipping point was when Price absentmindedly assigned you to Wilson’s team. Being Ghost’s Achilles’ heel, you were enough to light up a spark in the furnace. Wilson, on the other hand, was, in fact, a motherfucker. He knew that you, being assigned to his team, would piss Ghost off, so he turned towards you and winked upon hearing your name.

“Awesome,” he said, “doll’s with me.”

“Call them a doll again,” Ghost replied, “and I’ll make you as shiny and smooth as a Ken.” A threat that seemed nonsensical then but became clearer over time. And it wasn’t funny at all. See, Ken dolls lack organs, including a brain, heart, and, as Ghost hinted, a certain... anatomical feature.

And, as you stand in front of Ghost at Price’s office, tending to his cut lip and bruised eye, questions swirl in your mind. First and foremost, why is Ghost so obsessed with Lt. Wilson’s bones and limps? How was he planning to execute such a horrendous action? And how did he manage to leap onto the table and kick Wilson in the face like Leonidas did in the movie “300”?

“You fucked up big time, Simon,” Price warns Ghost as he paces around the room with his hands on his waist.

“He started it,” Ghost retorts.

“No,” Price shouts, running towards Ghost and inching away from his bruised-up face, “you landed the first kick, and then things escalated faster than a wildfire in a dry forest.”

Ghost sighs. “How is he?” He asks.

You look at him, shocked. This guy amazes you. All he wanted was to kick Wilson right in the face, and now he’s worried about his health.

“He is fucked; that’s how he is,” Price replies, “and you’re fucked too.”

“What’ll happen now?” Ghost asks

Price lets out a sharp chuckle. Not one of entertainment, for sure. Something that hints you’re both about to find out.

“I’m relieving Lt. Wilson of his duties in the field and relocating him to another position,” the Captain announces.

“Good,” Ghost replies. “At least he’ll be out of my business for a while.”

“Oh, on the contrary brother,” Price smirks, “he’ll be all up in your business now.”

You stop treating Ghost’s wound and turn to Price. “W-where exactly are you relocating, Lt. Wilson, Captain?” You ask, confused.

Price approaches you and wraps an arm around your shoulder, now both facing Ghost.

“I’m putting Wilson in the same office as you two,” Price says, smiling. “That is until you and him sort out your… issues.”

Ghost doesn’t react. He stretches his neck while looking at Price.

“You think I wouldn’t find out what the apple of discord was?” Price whispers at Ghost, “You and him either become best friends, or you’re both out.” He says. He removes his hand from your shoulder, adjusts his hat, nods at you, and walks out of the room.

You turn towards Ghost, who’s now leaning on his legs, looking at the floor.

“Look at me,” you command, “I still need to patch that lip of yours.”

He obeys and looks up. You sigh. As much as you trust Price and his strategic decision to put the three of you in the same room, you fear that the ball is now in your field. Juggling Ghost’s outbursts was something you learned to handle with skill and prowess. But including Lt. Harris in the equation is like putting two starving lions in a cage with an antelope.

“Why?” You ask, as you treat his bottom lip, “Why act so stupidly when you know it is you that I fancy?”

He looks away and shrugs. “He called you a doll.”

“And look where we are now, Simon,” you say. “Price gave you your last chance, and we get to have Mr Toothless with us at the office.”

“Won’t be an office anymore, love,” he mutters, “it’ll be a dollhouse full of Barbie and Ken dolls.”

You smile and lift his chin up with your fingers. “So, if I’m Barbie and he’s Ken,” you say, bringing your face closer to his, “who are you?”

“Oh, I’m Action Man, love.” He says and tries to wink with a swollen, already shut, black eye.

RoR character and pussy eating headcanons?

WE WE WEEEEEEE

RoR characters eating your pussy out

With: Hrist, Sakata Kintoki, Sasaki Kojiro, Hades, Bishamonten

!! These characters are not included here because they already have their NSFW alphabet or NSFW hcs and it seemed like repeating myself: RUDRA, SHIVA, INDRA, LOKI, ODIN, ANUBIS, THE SCIENCE CREW, JACK THE RIPPER, LU BU, LEONIDAS, NOAH !!

The reader is FEMALE or AFAB.

Hrist

Sweet, but hungry. Her leonine side stays silent during the act, because there is no need for it to show up: you deserve only love and all the attention of the world.

At the beginning, the Valkyrie goes very slow, savoring every fold and tasting all the angles of your intimacy, rubbing her tongue on your lips in soft licks; but as soon as she hears your moans and cries increase, she goes wild, doesn't understand anything anymore and puts more and more pressure until you beg and whine so loudly the chambers echo your voice. And it is only the first stage, because as soon as she starts to go deeper... WELL.

A wonderful experience, especially because she becomes addicted to it in no time, so every occasion is good for a proper lick on your pussy. She asks for consent every time with pleading eyes that could melt the entire North Pole.

Kintoki

WILD. TOTALLY WILD. Always respectful, but he holds back anything. You have to feel all of his tongue on every part of your warm womanhood, to be aware of every inch of it, and to give in totally.

Your pussy is his playground: he teases your clit no stop, moves around in circle movements and looks for every sensitive spot you have, goes deeper and deeper and then recedes, and deep again, while his hands caress your hips, press your thighs to make you stay still or stroke your belly or breasts, if you are on his face. Because yes, he loves to have you on his face, so he can put also his nose at your service (and torture you more).

Fast licks that become slower or even more frantic as soon as your weakest spot is discovered, following the pace of your breath and how loud you scream and whine. Be ready to lose your voice and mind again and again.

Kojiro and Hades

THE GENTLEMEN. Before eating you out, they spoil you for hours: Kojiro takes you to the sea or mountain, prepares a picnic for both, gives you flowers, cuddles with you all the time, combs your hair, kisses and hugs you a thousand times; Hades takes you out for a romantic dinner, buys you dresses and jewels, strokes your back during the evening, keeps you pressed against him and on his lap, praises your beauty no stop. They don't do this because they want your pussy in reward, but because both of them believe that is the only way you can be treated with, worshipping you; in fact they do these exact things everytime, from the start of the relationship.

Then, both act the same, asking for the honor to make love with you; if you allow this, then they kneel before you, gently lift and open your thighs making you lay down on the softest surface at disposition and, at this point, say yes to heaven.

Kojiro goes slow, exploring your pussy carefully and without leaving anything untouched; he is sweet, playful at most, with some moments of mischievousness when he wants to tease you a bit and then his tongue wriggles more into you, while his hands are on your hips or roam on your legs; Hades, on the other hand, wants to tame you with the pleasure and he can be sadistic when he reaches that point you beg him for so loudly, and doesn't stop easily, staring at you with narrowed eyes and a smirk on that divine face. Sometimes he even bites or nibbles your inner thighs, before attacking your clit again with the most powerful licks ever felt by anyone.

Oh, they are very needy. All the time.

Bishamonten

How can it be that someone so stern and stiff is able to eat you out so divinely? Yeah, because Bishamonten is really a master in this.

It takes time to get to this point, because for this mighty God of Fortune this is a goal that must be achieved through merit and knowledge, not something that is given regardless, especially if he doesn't know you well enough; but little by little, as the relationship progresses and you gain points in his heart, well… then things definitely get hot.

This happens with you either on his face or underneath him. Your wrists tied behind your back, so you have no chance to stop him, and your thighs held tightly in his grip, not enough to hurt, though: Bishamonten absolutely wants to avoid seeing you suffer… at least from the pain, hehehe.

So… slow, powerful licks, made to test you: your flavor, your softness, your heat, the way your body reacts, and so your voice. Don't think that he will remain slow for a long time: the time to make you understand what awaits you, and then the god unleashes all his strength using tongue and lips on you, sucking, licking, and sometimes just biting, for the sake of just inserting his teeth into your soft flesh, but without pressing too much. The session is very long, infinite, because Bishamonten wants to take you to the exhaustion by pleasure; sometimes, he even inserts a finger or two on purpose to increase the pleasure, before starting again with the tongue. He can even use his chin, rubbing it against your folds so you can feel the sensation of the metal mask against your dripping pussy. We already know you can't last too much with all of this love storm upon you.

When then you can't bear it anymore, your mouth dry for the moans and the begs and your eyes watering for the pleasure, he stops, takes you in his arms and kisses your lips, making you taste your own juices, then allows you to rest on his chest, stroking your back and hair with his usual expression softened by the sensation of your body on his, and your beating hearts at the same rhythm…

"short queen"

leonidas x gorgo! reader

Technically this is a normal reader who is the wife of Leonidas, but there's mention's of Plistarchus (son of Gorgo and Leo), so I put it as "gorgo! reader"

English is not my first language so sorry for the mistakes!

The young boy fell to the sand, complaining about the pain of the fall and the blows his father had given him with the wooden sword "You still have a lot to improve Plistarchus, in a real battle you would have been incapacitated with the first blow" Leonidas said, dropping the wooden sword.

Plistarchus was sad, his father was right, The first blow he received had been on the arm, and in a real battle, in which that wooden sword would be real, he would have been left without an arm and would have been unable to fight.

"Leonidas!!" Suddenly the voice of a woman was heard shouting Leo's name, drawing the attention of the two men. "oh my baby! are you okay?" You crouched down and began to check your son, seeing the bruises that Leonidas had left on him "Leonidas! Look at our son! You're really hurting him!" you said pointing to plistarchus

"in a real battle it would be worse, that's how you learn" said the king crossing his arms "You're being too hard on him!" You said, approaching Leonidas clearly upset. "I am only doing what is necessary for our son to be a great warrior" Leonidas said defending himself. "But a warrior is not born knowing, you must go at a pace at which our son can follow you, and thus go up so that he learns"

You continued reproaching Leonidas, while Plistarchus watched in confusion.

Leonidas had not said anything to you, he simply continued looking at you while you spoke, but when he got annoyed he looked up at the sky, ignoring you given that you were shorter than him

You quickly realized what he was doing, and after letting out a screech of rage, you left in annoyance.

When you left, Leo returned to see Plistarchus who was sitting on the floor "Hey kid, take your sword and get up, we're not done yet." Plistarchus let out a sigh and stood up, but he remained stuck looking in the direction were you left

"hurry up boy"

"Dad, you should look over there"

"What?"

After saying that, Leonidas was tackled by you, you hung on him with your arms and tied your legs around his hips "wa- what the hell?!" Leonidas did his best to keep his balance but ended up falling flat on his back.

"uuugh... god dammit (name)..." Leonidas said, complaining about the pain of falling on his back "now you know how it feels" you said proud of what you had done "You are crazy" said leo "and you like that"

Suddenly the two heard the young prince's laughter, His laugh was so contagious that the two of you started laughing too.

"ok,ok...that was pretty good" Your king said as you got off of him "Thank you, but remember what I told you" You said, still laughing a little. "I'll remember it."

plistarchus approached you two "Mom, why don't you stay and see?" your son said happily "Good idea, I can make sure your father keeps his word." your king laughed a little "fine, maybe you can also teach our son some things."

The three of them laughed and then got up, you stayed watching how your husband and son trained.

and although plistarchus still ended up in the sand several times, he did manage to improve a little with the new rhythm leo was using

"I told you" - you

"Oh shut up" - leo

I feel like Leo would be a very good dad 🥹

Here's the awaited fanfic!

Record of Ragnarok!

Bottom! King Leonidas x Reader

Warning: Usage of Toys

"Fuck! Mm~.." He whimpered, it was an amusing sight to behold, the way he would moan from your touch. "Hmm?~ What's the matter, My King? Can't handle it?~" You teased, as you thrust into his ass with the Dildo.

He often whimpers, begging for more, only you could see him so... submissive.

"I thought you were a tough man, my King. But look at you, so vulnerable under my touch~" You smirked, biting his neck, then kissing down to his muscular shoulder.

"Please...More..~" "More? What the King wants, he gets." You smiled, and your pace increased...He moaned out loud but you covered his mouth.

"Shh~ Not too loud~ You don't want your men to hear you, right?~" Leonidas whined, but he nodded, and kept his moans down but enough for you to hear.

"That's right~ Good boy~" You patted his head, and pulled out, you kissed his cheek and grabbed a cloth and some water, you cleaned him up before leaving.

Bonus: In the morning, Leonidas felt his ass sore and blamed you for it. "Not my fault, my King! You wanted more!" You giggled, and he just pouted.

Foundation, Season 2: You Can Put The Haterade Down Now

One thing that kind of surprised me about the first season of this show was just how many haters came out of the woodwork to proclaim their disdain for it. I couldn't understand that-- the original source material covers something like a thousand years or so and had they done a page-to-screen adaptation, pure and simple, it would have been... boring, quite honestly.

No, what Apple has done is what I wish that Amazon would have done with The Wheel of Time: they've put some money behind this thing, and as a result, even if you have issues with the adaptation of the show-- which, in general, I don't, then you can at least acknowledge that it looks beautiful.

Season 2 picks up about a century after we last saw our heroes and the Second Crisis predicted by Hari Seldon (Jared Harris) is approaching. This time around, however, we get multiple Seldons. There's the one on Terminus, hanging in his vault, popping out to send mysterious messages to the waiting crowds like 'HOBER MALLOW' which people eventually figure out. It turns out, in the time jump forward, the Cleons (Lee Pace, Terrence Mann, and Cassian Bilton) have assumed that Terminus is long gone and haven't bothered to double-check, so the Foundation is now spreading the 'gospel of Seldon' as a religion to neighboring planets and is starting to attract attention. Mallow (Dmitri Leonidas)-- who isn't a priest, but a ne'er do well merchant of sorts, gets tracked down by a couple of the clerics- Poly (Kulvinder Ghir) and Constant. (Isabella Laughland)

Back on Trantor, a fresh trio of Cleons is confronted with some unusual happenings: someone sends assassins to try and kill Day, who has made the momentous decision to end the genetic dynasty and marry to produce heirs. (Also, he's sleeping with Demerzel (Laura Birn) now, which is... weird. Dusk is especially weirded out by it, but few others seem to comment on it.) Naturally, his decision to seek a bride-- in this case, Queen Sareth I (Ella Rae-Smith) of the Cloud Dominion makes Dusk and Dawn a little nervous, as once the baby is born, it sort of makes them irrelevant. Happily for them, before Day can go too much further with his plans, he catches wind of something going on in the Outer Rim and finds out that the Foundation has survived thanks to renegade General Bel Riose. (Ben Daniels)

The second one is on flooded Synnax with Gaal (Lou Llobell) and Salvor (Leah Harvey) and he's a little upset because he's been trapped inside the Prime Radiant pretty much the entire time and it hasn't been fun for him.

Gaal and Salvor do acknowledge this, but point out that they're going to need some help getting off the planet and Mobile Seldon after some reluctance- for obvious, 'you trapped me in the Prime Radiant for like a hundred years' reasons, agrees to do so. They start exploring Gaal and Salvor's mental abilities- and Gaal sees a vision from 150 years in the future where a powerful Mentalic called The Mule (Mikael Persbrandt) kills Salvor. Desperate to prevent that, they answer the mental call from the planet Ignis, where they find a colony of Mentalics, who seem welcoming at first, but their leader Tellem (Rachel House) takes them captive instead and the trio- which turns into a duo after Mobile Seldon is (seemingly) killed by Tellem have to figure out how to break free and defeat Tellem.

Eventually, they do-- but at a cost. Salvor sacrifices her life to prevent Gaal from being killed-- and proves that the future can be changed because her death now means that her vision of the future can't have come true. Gaal and Mobile Seldon agree to enter cryostasis for a century or so, waking up once a year to teach the nascent new Second Foundation.

Back with the other Seldon, the second crisis has arrived- though it doesn't go the way that Empire thinks it will though. Mallow cuts a deal with the Spacers to deny Empire the use of hyperspace and they start a chain reaction that slowly destroys the Imperial fleet, even as Empire sends the wreck of Invictus spinning down to the planet where everyone and everything is seemingly destroyed. Day is kicked out an airlock by Riose and then Mallow and Riose await their fate together while Constant is set adrift in a converted cleaning module, hoping that someone will pick her up.

On Trantor, Demerzel is outsmarted- kind of. Dusk finds out the truth about her (the standout episode, "Long Ago, Not Far Away" fills in a lot of the gaps) and her programming means that she will stay loyal to the genetic dynasty above all, so Dusk is killed to protect her secret. Sareth-- with child- and Dawn flees and Demerzel- with a copy of the Prime Radiant decants three new Emperors and just keeps on keeping on-- at least for now.

It turns out that Constant does survive and gets picked up by Seldon's vault and it turns out to be a little TARDIS-like, since it's bigger on the inside and can hold the entire populace of Terminus.

We flash forward to the future, where a crazed-looking Mule vows to find Gaal Dornick, as he senses her presence.

Overall: Look, you can put down the Haterade now, people: this is a good show. It might even wind up being a great show and-- it's not that far off from the books. It might be one of those rare adaptations that- and I realize I'm treading on some very thin ice here- improves upon the source material?

I know that's going to seem like heresy to a lot of sci-fi fans and I respect that. If Asimov is your do-or-die and you expected something closer to the books with this adaptation, I get it. You can be made-- but with adaptations, you've got to figure out how to bring new viewers in without them having to read the books first and if you're really good at what you do, you'll inspire new viewers/people who haven't read the books to maybe go check them out. Either way, I think people are going to be reading those books that maybe wouldn't have before and so, even if you disagree with it or hate the adaptation, I'm going to come down on the side of this being a good, solid adaptation-- maybe even a great one. (I mean, come on y'all: the source material did have some issues.)

That's not to say that it's not without potential problems. I don't know if you can keep leaning on Gaal Dornick if you go much beyond the next season or so. If she keeps freezing herself to jump ahead, I'm going to hope that the character at least suffers some side effects or something. It's going to start straining credibility a bit if she just keeps getting iced to go between seasons and jump ahead in time.

I'm also intrigued by the Seldon Vault and where they're going... because that is definitely not in the books either, so I'm kind of curious to see what they do with it.

My Grade: Stop hating, this is good and potentially great science fiction that while not a perfect adaptation of its source material does right by it at the very least. **** out of ****

Fading bruises for the prompts :3

Thank you so much for the ask!!! I’m sorry it took so long!!!! This is set right in the middle of A Realm Reborn :3

Aki had never experienced cold quite like Coerthas. She had seen snow before traveling, of course, but she moreso thought of cold as the chilly mornings in the forest. She hadn’t even imagined cold being accompanied by a half meter of snow, or icicles threatening to fall from buildings overhead.

This was to say, her gear was inadequate when coming to Coerthas.

“We need to go to some observatorium,” Aki muttered. “Nearby a place- Camp Dragonhead, was it?”

Leonidas nodded, pointing at the tall tower ahead of them.

“Thanks,” she mumbled before the two began trudging ahead.

It was just the two of them, with the other remaining Scions exploring other areas the Enterprise could have landed. With little distraction beyond the blinding white surroundings, Leonidas was able to watch Aki slowly hug herself tighter, putting her hands over her exposed skin to warm herself as often as she could.

They made it to the observatorium and discovered a knight missing and needing assistance. Some heretics had set upon him, and though Aki and Leonidas were more than suited to the task normally, Aki’s movements were stiff in the new environment. They had focused her, likely seeing her as an easier target than Leonidas. She cut them down, though they had gotten close enough to slice up her robes, leaving even more of herself exposed to the cold air.

“Gods above, Coerthas is my least favorite spot ever,” Aki muttered as they walked back to the Observatorium. “F-Freezing wasteland…”

Leonidas’ brow knit together. Would that he was comfortable enough creating a ball of flame for him to carry to warm her.

“Let’s just… Get inside. Somewhere warm.”

Leonidas sighed. He shucked off his outer coat and passed it to Aki. She took it, giving him a bewildered look.

She nodded. “Oh… Well, thanks.”
