[fun-k-board]

Hey again 😄😄😄

Thank you so so much for the smoke headcanon I really enjoyed it, I was wondering if you could do it again but this time with reptile please ??

Syzoth / Reptile Friendship / General Headcanons

Note(s) : You're a regular human and not a champion, it's implied you're friends with the human kharacters and meet Reptile through them.

Reptile is extremely anxious around you at first because you're not a champion, you're just an Earthrealmer with no fighting skills or prior knowledge on Outworld, and he finds himself a little confused on your presence most of the time.

As such, he finds himself explaining to you a lot of things that he would believe are just common sense. He doesn't get annoyed though, because he realises his constant questions on regular human ideas must be strange too.

He's still a Zatteran despite his ability to shapeshift into a human form, and so, any human social cues you've mastered will probably be strange to him, and vice versa.

Syzoth will typically eat bugs like cockroaches, spiders, flies, and forgets that some human cultures don't have that normalised, but he's extremely overjoyed when he finds out that certain places consider bugs a delicacy. He basically begs you to take him to those places.

If Johnny invites you to be in a movie, whether acting or stage hand, Syzoth, and by extension a large chunk of the Kast, will a million percent also be there after being coincidentally, also invited by Johnny! He's interested in Earth culture, and after watching Predator, which scared the daylights out of him, he wants to know the process behind movies.

Hundred percent asks to see movies with you, apart from horrors, never show him a horror movie, he will not be able to sleep for weeks.

Movie nights are incredibly common, a lot of other non Earthrealmers join in as well! It becomes very cramped very fast in your house, let's hope Johnny is nice enough to lend you all his mansion for the night.

He's a big fan of superhero media, there's always an invisible person, although he finds the fact a lot of them have to strip incredibly strange, or some type of half human half animal hybrid, he feels at home a lot of the time watching those types of superheros.

He can't stomach human food, so if he ever stays at yours for a sleepover or just to hang out for a day, he'll be an exterminator for you and eat any bugs he can find as his lunch / dinner. It's very helpful during summer.

Speaking of summer, he always wears his usual attire even in unbearable heat, he's uncomfortable with his human form and he feels awkward to show more of it. Besides, he likes to keep warm because he gets cold too easily, and when he's cold he gets slower which is impractical and annoying.

After the death of his wife and children, he's been looking for a distraction, he needs some form of comfort and he feels talking to you and his other friends is a huge help. Especially if you've experienced a close loss before, even if you don't know ways to help cope, you can always find ways to help each other heal together.

He tries to ask you for dating advice with Ashra, this most likely goes over well no matter how horrible your advice is, because Ashra and Syzoth are the best couple and are so wholesome nothing could offend either.

Syzoth is always awkward around dinners, whenever he's invited to Madam Bo's by one of the Kast of you, he sort of just sits around and tries to talk instead of eat. Reptiles learned after a while that it's impolite to humans when you just eat bugs out of the air, which he doesn't understand, and so refrains from eating at most public dinners.

He really wants to bring you to Zattera, but he knows far too well that they don't take kindly to warm blood, and while he understands his people's reason, he's still disappointed.

Luckily! He can visit your home in Earthrealm.

He does unfortunately get a lot of stares when he visits your home, your family and even strangers on the street always assume he's a cosplayer.

After he gets roles for a few of Johnny's movies, he becomes a micro celebrity of some sorts, including you if you decide to star in them. People recognise him on the streets and he gets rather embarrassed, but also very appreciated, he feels a lot of love around fans.

Apart from the weird ones... He tries to tell people that he's taken, with a wonderful girlfriend who'd he'd never betray, but... He needs you to chase them off a lot.

I imagine at first, your family and friends might think he's really weird, like, not even 'wow that was strange' weird, but 'never invite this man to be close to my vicinity again' type weird.

He's always looking around suspiciously, eyes wide, sweaty, sometimes he looks like he's going to speak but then holds a hand over his mouth, always when there's a fly near...

But, it only takes a day of knowing him for them to switch up and genuinely adore him.

They invite him around all the time, he's sweating buckets and terrified of messing up, but they're so taken aback by how goddamn sweet this guy is they don't notice.

Once again, you become his saviour and help him whenever they get too talkative about where he's from. They don't know about Outworld, and Liu Kang would prefer it if you didn't spill to everybody.

He finds human fashion a bit strange, but he actually really likes hoodies, especially the ones with short sleeves, they feel comfortable and he can move around a lot without it being a hassle of detangling and annoyance. He also likes wearing fingerless gloves everywhere.

Introducing him to Earthrealm music is... Interesting, to say the least. He really enjoys a lot of them! Especially classical, they're closer to what he knows from Outworld, but, he's also surprised at how much he likes a lot of modern music.

I'm spreading my Britney Spears fan Syzoth agenda and you can't stop me.

[quinn-pop]

let’s do some autistic meta knight headcanons!! over explaining my interpretation of meta knight yet again wooooo

this orb has NO idea how to talk to people!!! outside of work anyway. a lot of this is partially due to upbringing (suppressing his emotions all the time) but he does not know how to express emotions, like…at all.

this goes into a few things

1. yeah talking is hard. even after figuring out what he wants to communicate he will struggle. conversation can be so overwhelming, especially under pressure. he will need time lol

2. because of that, forming connections is hard. i really don’t think meta is much for shallow relationships, and certainly not early in the timeline. which also means he has very little experience with friendship. so a lot of the relationships he did have went kinda neglected, and issues that probably could’ve been worked on by talking became…*cough romk* escalated.

3. honestly i wouldn’t be surprised if meta convinced himself he couldn’t feel emotion (anymore) until like. katam-ish. he tried very hard lol

vulnerability is terrifying. (though this gesture here is also just comforting, like his little cape cocoon thing he does.)

unmasking—yeah im taking the mask thing very literally here—is a big deal and a very slow process for mk. i’m sure he has a lot of feelings on that lol. it served as a way to ensure no one could ever, y’know, see him.

i can’t say i think he’d ever fully ditch it—there’s always gonna be some days that are more stressful than others and if having it could help him get through it, it just makes sense. mainly when working.

it really is about vulnerability. granted, i don’t think he has the most expressive face (in my head every astral just tends to stare at things) but i doubt he has much control over it. can’t fake a smile but also can’t hide it. probably blushes easy because yeah, astrals; just look at kirby’s face.

just the idea that someone might be able to read his expression and know what he’s feeling before he’s ready for them to (or even understands it himself…) yeah he doesn’t want that

but emotional turmoil aside, i think his mask also hides a lot of his stims

remember that whole “suppressing your feelings” thing? yeah turns out that ignoring half your instincts isn’t a good idea. so in true meta knight style, he tries to stim as subtly as possible

1. he has the least control over his wings, so they will flick and twitch on their own. they’re usually a good indicator of how he’s feeling, not unlike the body language usually seen in cat ears and tails lol. flapping is also an extension of this of course, though he probably suppresses it more.

2. this also effects when he takes his wings out. pretty much every time he’s excited or nervous it just happens. kinda makes me wonder if his wing cape ordeal might also go into the suppression thing… (i’d say yes, but using a cape is also very comforting so it’s not necessarily a bad thing)

3. going back to the mask thing; he stims a lot underneath it. think like biting or pursing your lips. he bites his tongue and clicks his mouth. that sort of thing. his mask also makes it harder to notice that he is constantly sighing, humming, grumbling…all that

one nice thing about the mask though is that it helps a little bit with lights!!! woo

(look at him and his magically floating glasses)

sensory stuff—i think he’s mostly bothered by light and sound. maybe a bit of texture. he’s pretty sensory avoidant and perfectly happy standing off to the side not touching anything.

the one exception to this is physical affection, which is, despite all of this, most of how he shows affection. it’s a lot easier to hug someone than to try to explain your feelings for them, after all.

i think he would like pressure though. so that’s probably part of it. and i’m pretty sure there’s some connection in here to fighting (dang, is that the only way he knows how to get his energy out?)

anyway, pretty much all of this is in contrast to kirby, who i would gladly nominate as the champion of Doing Whatever He Wants. he might pick up a few bad habits, but he will never mask the way meta knight does. he might not understand how he feels, but he’s in tune enough to express it…usually.

this is a very good thing for meta because it helps him to do the same thing. kirby’s so energetic, it’s hard to not want to stim with him. it reminds meta to be kinder to himself and explore his own emotions. he can also help kirby understand themselves, so this connection is very important.

yeah, at the end of the day, everything kinda just boils down to kirby and mk as parallels

this is the conclusion i promise

to me, meta’s arc is about growing stronger by growing kinder, and this is mostly by learning to be kind to himself. letting himself be a person again, loving and understanding other people, and eventually, letting go of all the expectations placed on him and doing the things he’s always wanted to do…

autism headcanons are fun for me because it’s cathartic to write, but at the same time, it just makes sense in this sort of narrative. meta is, to me, inseparable from these things. and so is kirby! that’s a dynamic that’s a lot of fun to play with, and it’s at the heart of my kirby interpretation.

if you actually read all this WOW thank you

#i almost considered not posting this on a wednesday but then i wrote everything and uhhh yeah i think i gotta so #happy cringe day wednesday #for as many notes as i have on these characters i really don’t talk about it much #but meta knight is a special case because i am terrible at subtlety and he wouldn’t be meta knight without it #so this is to contextualize some things #because of what ill have in the next few days haha #basically these are just things i consider when writing meta #but a lot of it is subtextual and i dont know how well it comes across #kirbyposting #kirby #meta knight #headcanons #autism headcanon #this is practically an essay lol oops #i have like 2/3 of a fic that explores most of this in a way i probably won’t do again #but we’ll see if i ever finish it #god kirby concepts are so fun to chew on #i overthink everything i make so much lol

defense, not destruction

pairing: alcina dimitrescu x reader

summary: alcina joins you while you clean and sharpen your weapons

The castle was quiet, but not eerily so. It seemed that fortune had smiled upon you that day. Each of the girls were consumed with their own tasks and Alcina had gone out that morning for a meeting with Miranda. There had been a lot going on, preparations for something big that you knew nothing about. Those preparations had distracted you from taking the time to properly attend to your weapon collection.

Many of the villagers had upgraded to guns for protection against the Lycans and whatnot, but you were different. You came from a proud line of blacksmiths, a family that had been making swords and metal weapons for centuries. It was something ingrained in the deepest parts of your being. Whenever you held a sword or blade in your hand, you felt like you were fulfilling some sort of destiny. The only other thing that had ever felt so right to you was kissing Alcina.

You were prepared for a long day of cleaning and sharpening your weapons alone. Bela knew to leave you alone when you did your work, but occasionally Cassandra would come in to watch and pick up a few tips. Daniela would try to come and watch, but Bela usually dragged her out at Cassandra's insistence. Today though, Bela had run off to wait for Donna since the weather seemed to be warm enough for her to venture out. Cassandra was chasing soon-to-be-replaced maids in the dungeons, no doubt to what would later be her mother's chagrin. Daniela had mentioned something about watching over Heisenberg's factory, which you were certain that neither Heisenberg nor Alcina knew about beforehand.

"Y/n, my beloved!" Alcina called out. A pleasant shiver ran down your spine at the sound of her voice. You stepped out from your room and peeked your head into the hallway just in time to catch her coming up at the top of the stairs. "Ah, there you are. I should have guessed you would be playing with your little toys."

"They're not toys, despite what you and your daughters think," you chided. Alcina crossed the hallway to get to you and smiled as she held your jaw in her hand.

"Of course not." She bent down to gently press a kiss to your lips. You allowed her to join you in your room as you resumed the sharpening process for a scythe that you had made with Cassandra when teaching her how to make her own. "They are all very intricate, beautiful in their own ways. Your kind forgets that destruction can be just as artistic as creation, but not you."

"These weren't created to destroy, they are for defense," you corrected. "Y/l/n do not draw first blood."

Alcina had heard the spiel a million times, but she sat through it once again. This time, you dropped your scythe to pick up a short sword as you did so. To punctuate particularly important points about battle, you swung the sword or performed an intricate flourish. Alcina's eyes followed your every move, even when the glint of the light reflecting from the blade distracted her. You moved as one with the sword, using it more as an extension of yourself than an equipped weapon. She would never admit this, but Alcina could watch you talk about your little creations for eternity if she was so fortunate.

Where I've been + Update Scheduling(?)

Heyyyyy everyone, what's uuuupppp! It's Mod Freeze here!

Now I know these last few weeks have been hysterical. Updating, and then stopping, and then updating again, and then nothing again, and then updating a tad, and then more of nothing and so on and so forth. So I bet the question on everyone's mind is:

What happened to me? Well, I'll tell you...

As I'm sure many of you are aware, It was my birthday not too long ago followed by Thanksgiving. So of course, I had to spend time with family, and my video games playing through TOTK & Spider-Man 2, cough! And that took some time away from here, and even almost a month later, barely anything, what gives?

Well....I think I recall saying on here I was in process of looking for a new job. While I didn't get the one I was initially after, I did just score a full time job at the post office. I've been getting things together, preparing, and essentially started this week. It's required me to get up early in the morning and by extension not be up so late, which is usually when I post stuff. So, there will be some big changes going forward.

Normally my first job required me to work nights and I would usually get home around half past midnight/1 AM my time and I would update the story then, and sometime in the afternoon when I was much more available and motivated. And the post office is a day time job this time around, and I've even looking to see trying both jobs for some months to earn some more money and maybe even buy a new car. I am still seeing how my official schedule plays out, but what will probably end up happening is more than likely...even less updates unfortunately...

Now I'm not cancelling this blog, far from it. I'm just....stepping back for a bit to focus on the gross adulting world for the time being. But when will I be able to update...well....

My initial schedule was....nonexistent and still isn't. I usually update and post whenever I feel like it. A "It gets done when it's done" mentality that I've had my whole life. And again, I can't say for certain is this new schedule will be true...buuuuuut....

Weekdays are a busy sort for me, and will probably not be updated. Maybe two out of the five weekdays at best, but can't say for certain.

Weekends free me up some more, so posts could potentially be greater on these days than the weekdays.

I know this was essentially a non-answer, but I figured I keep you guys in the loop about what's going on. I apologize that this arc is taking so long to get through, but that's what happens when you're an adult. I hope I can make some more progress soon. And if you don't hear from me until after the holidays. Then I hope you all a have a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and a Wonderful New Year!

-Mod

introducing spamton, but worm

NEEDLESSLY EXTENSIVE LORE 👇

wormton (computer worm spamton)

I wrote a 2,500 word info dump on this creature, so there's a tldr here in case you have better things to with your life than read spamton worm lore. otherwise, hope you enjoy if you're interested.

THE TDLR:

Spamton, but he represents a computer worm as a darkner. He's some sort of 15 foot long fluffy parasitic alien centipede worm creature, and the Sweepstakes worm represents what his species' parasitic hatchlings look like after they slowly consume and kill their host from the inside out. Spamton is the last of his species left after they were exterminated (representing a computer worm being downloaded onto a computer and eventually fought off). He wears a disguise to hide his worm status, so that he may interact with the general public without being reported and killed by an antivirus. He can't create anymore copies of his species without them being found and killed, too. He meets the addisons, and uses them to get free food. Hopefully Spamton's strangely philosophical, and sometimes cannibalistic, comments don't make them suspicious. Hope he doesn't form any emotional attachment that would be severed if they found out what he really was, haha

Information on actual computer worms:

In the real world, computer worms are a type of malicious program that can cause a variety of computer-threatening issues. Once a computer worm tricks one into downloading it onto their computer, its main goal is to created exact copies of itself in order to infect other computers while remaining active on already infected systems. Usually, the computer user will not notice that their computer is infected until the worm's rapid replication eats up the system's resources and slows or halts other tasks. Unlike viruses, worms only need to be initiated once, and can self replicate without additional action from the user. In fact, some types of worms can spread to computers without the user even interacting with them. Both instant-messaging and email worms use the contact list of an infected user in order to send copies of themselves, with the ILOVEYOU worm being a very popular example of one.

The malworm species:

"Malworm" is the name given to the species of darkner that represents computer worms in the light world. "Malworm" is the general species name, but each type of computer worm represents a different subspecies. All members of a subspecies are identical copies of each other, as is the nature of computer worms. Spamton is part of the (fictional) "big shot" subspecies, named after the false promises of a better life they tell their victims in order to lure them in.

Spamton's species:

Physical characterics & hunting:

The "bigshot' malworm is physically characterized by long black and white fur, asymmetric pink and yellow pupil-less eyes, red circles on their cheeks, an almost addison-like snout, and six pairs of legs. They use a set of retractable fangs in order to infect their prey. This particular subspecies has the distinct ability to copy any audio they hear, and replay it back. This ability is what they use to hunt prey, typically isolating one program at a time to infect or consume. While they try a variety of strategies, they seemed to have an infinity towards falsely promising a better or more successful future if their prey "takes the deal," and follows their stolen voice. A particularly common phrase was "now your chance to be a big shot," which became the species's name sake, although it was most likely lifted from popular advertisements at the time. Once the victim is successfully isolated, the malworm attacks. They typically infect their victims by suffocating them until they're unconscious, then use their fangs to infect them. The same process is used if the malworm is simply looking for a meal, rather than a potential host to infect.

Infection process:

These parasitic malworms start their life inside of a host. The amount of eggs (pipis) placed inside any given host is dependent on its size. Incubated by their host's body heat, the malworms hatch fast, but spend several weeks before finally emerging. During this time, the host is typically unaware that they have been infected, the only evidence being a bite mark, and general discomfort. Inside, the hatchlings stay connected to their host by a string attached to each one's nose. The host slowly becomes weaker as the hatchling(s) eat them from the inside out, eventually dying just before the hatchling(s) emerge. The infection works to soften internal tissue, making it easier to consume. Both the loss of internal organs, either partly or fully consumed by the hatchlings, as well as the infection causes the host to die.

Life cycle:

These malworms spend their first few weeks inside of an infected host. The freshly hatched start at about 3 inches long, and their bodies are completely white, aside from their eyes and red cheek markings. The string attached to their nose keeps them tethered to the inside of their host as they feed and grow. Once a hatchling reaches about 9 inches in length, its string falls off, and it breaks free from the now dead host. A small spot of fur on the top of its head becomes black at this point, and it continues to spread as the malworm grows. After leaving its host, the juvenile continues to grow in length, gradually gaining more black coloring, which is perhaps as some sort of camouflaging that was not needed inside of a host. The malworm will continue to exponentially grow until it reaches the adult size of 9 feet, where its growth will become greatly slowed. As members of this species grow, they consume any audio they hear, allowing them to use it once they as an adult, in order to hunt other programs. While they normally display social behaviors, such as taking care of their young and building nests, Cyber City's extinction efforts caused them to become more solitary, favoring survival over socialization.

Eating habits:

hatchlings are quite fragile while inside of a host, and are only strong enough to consume the softened flesh of an infected host. Once leaving the host, they usually continue to feed on the corpse, before eventually setting off in search of new food sources. While they show a preference for raw flesh, they become capable of eating essentially anything edible by the time they're adults. All darkners gain magic from consuming "food," but the amount they gain from any given type of food source varies. Hence the specific dietary needs of the worms until they can gain magic from other sources.

Observed behavior:

There was a drastic change in behavior for these malworms as Cyber City fought back against their invasion. They were initially observed creating nests out of a unique material comprised of their saliva and plastics (this material is a light-blue in color, and acts like a sticky glue that becomes solid and strong once it dries) where they would preserve food, protect hatchlings, and sleep together. As their population declined, however, they displayed more solitary behavior, refusing to build nests and leaving hatchlings to find food on their own. The malworms were very evasive, occasionally seen slinking through dark alleyways, jumping across roofs, and squeezing through tight spaces, using their black coloration to blend in with the dark shadows of Cyber City. Their intelligence was unknown to the Cyber World, as not much time was actually spent observing them, thanks to the danger of getting attacked. They were fast and efficient, but ultimately a losing match against the Cyber World's best defenses.

History/extinction:

The bigshot malworm arrived in Cyber City by new year's 1997, and had been eradicated (to the city's knowledge) by December. Their initial arrival was the most brutal period, as there was nothing to stop them from spreading. However, drastic measures were quickly taken in order to eradicate the species as fast as possible. The Cyber World's darkners were instructed to quarantine inside their homes, and, of course, avoid any suspicious voices trying to lure them into empty alleyways. Anti-viruses paraded the streets, armed to kill any malworm they possible found. Juveniles were caught and released with GPS trackers in order to find and burn nests, killing any malworms inside, and leaving the rest without shelter. After that caused the worms to stop building nests, even a few adults were captured in order to test the efficiency of different killing methods. Since most darkners were staying indoors as much as possible, the malworms struggled to find anything other than the occasional maus as a host, who could barely support even one hatchling, severing their abilty to quickly reproduce. Desperation made them, well, desperate, and therefore easy to kill. by 1998, there was no more malworm spottings or attacks. There's was zero reports of any malworms in decades, and Cyber World was considered free of them since.

Spamton's orgins:

Spamton was like the rest of his species, born during the tail-end of their short-lived reign. He was one of the last born, hatching inside of a maus that was barely big enough for one hatchling, and was the last of his kind to survive to adulthood. Since the malworm population was in single digits at this point, darkners were feeling safe enough to start spending more time outside, albeit still very cautious. The increase in activity leading to more thrown out food that Spamton could feed on, rather than try to risk hunting when he was already far from adult size. He wasn't able to get much magic from people's leftovers, but he was small enough that he managed. He ended up meeting one of the already very little remaining members of his species, although it was short lived. Unfortunately, staying together was a liability. Only spared by his smaller size making him harder to find, Spamton learned to hide as every last malworm was executed by an anti-virus. By the time he reached adulthood, he was the only one left. He spent his first few years as an adult exclusively hiding, feeding on food scraps, and hunting the occasional lonesome maus. He created his own nest hidden deep inside the Trash Zone, although he's the only one to fill it. As much as he wanted to, Spamton couldn't re-populate his species, as any new malworms would be killed as soon as they were found, and there would be a much more thorough search to make sure his species was gone for good. He could still create hatchlings, but it would be a waste of resources and energy. See, they can technically hatch without a host, but never reach past that 9 inch stage, as the string never falls off (what the Sweepstakes worm looks like). Spamton spent his first few years hiding alone. However, as he grew larger, both hiding and finding enough food were getting more difficult. While his species is considered adults by the time they reach 9 feet, which is when they can start infecting victims, they still continue to slowly grow until they reach about 15 feet. Since the life of the rest of his species was cut short, Spamton was the only one to have ever actually reached maximum size. It was becoming harder to both hide and scavenge enough food, and Spamton needed a solution.

Spamton's Among Us Impostor Arc:

Spamton's solution was a costume/disguise that would hide his malworm status, and finally allow him to interact with the public. Living alone on the streets wasn't very fulfilling, especially considering that he was part of a normally social species. He's essentially had no social interaction his entire life by this point. Since Cyber City had fully opened up since the malworm extinction, Spamton was able to consume a massive amount of audio compared to any other of his species. He understood English, and was even been able to form his own voice, albeit distorted and aided by foreign voice clips.

Spamton's Costume Description:

As for Spamton's physical disguise, it's a cobbled-together, yet sturdy enough, mess. The interior shell consists of various plastic pieces threaded together by that same nest material that his species can make. Over the blue-ish plastic mess of the shell is an off-white dress shirt and shoes, and black pants, which are glued directly to the shell with nest material. Since Spamton didn't see any situation where he'd need to change clothing, gluing it to the shell and securing it in place seemed like the best option. His pink tie isn't an actual tie, nor is the collar of his dress shirt, as some modifications had to be made to fit the long fur around his neck through the top of his costume. His oversized blazer, little white flower pin, and off-white mittens are the only things not glued down. All his clothes shared the commonality of being stolen from various sources, though. In his disguised form, Spamton stands about 5 feet tall, not including his long tail sticking out the back. He appears a little wide on account of having to fit about 8 feet of worm in the shell's torso. His plastic mask is fairly simple, being fastened to his face by a strap, and the lower jaw is connected to elastics that move it with his own mouth. He uses fake glasses to make his eye colors look like unique lenses, and added his own red cheeks to the mask. Since there's no way one would mistake some "normal" guy with two legs and arms as an extinct species of malworm, Spamton figured he wouldn't need to make a unique face for his disguise.

And so it begins:

Spamton pretended to be a spam program, hence the rather on-the-nose name he came up with for himself. While spam programs aren't hated or feared nearly on the same level as malworms, they aren't given a stellar reputation. They also don't have a specific type of darkner that represent them, making it the perfect role for Spamton to pretend to fit. Despite his best efforts, he's wasn't particularly good at social interaction, let alone trying to fit his fake role. While his appearance itself wasn't particularly scary, his stiff movements and glitchy-sounding voice were off-putting to most programs. He didn't have much of a filter while speaking, often being loud in volume and mentioning whatever strange topic comes up in his mind. Despite his inability to socialize, just being able to interact with other darkners felt like a huge step up from slinking around dark alleyways, even if he was still mostly ignored. However, it still didn't solve the issue of finding food. While being disguised allowed him to dumpster dive for food without having to hide, the lack of dexterity makes it borderline impossible, which defeated the purpose of wearing it in the first place. This is where he got the idea to actually try selling things, like an actual spam program would. He didn't own any of the identification required to even attempt getting a real job, however, selling stuff on the streets could make money, and money means food. Unfortunately, he wasn't very good at it. Whatsoever. He had the confidence, but none of the skill, and most darkners ignored him or walked away. He would need some help if he was going to go anywhere with this idea.

The Addisons Summary

*I'll be referring to them by their colora for convince sake

The first addison that Spamton met was Blue. Spamton's frankly pathetic attempts at attempting to sell things caught their attention, and they got the idea to help him. Blue proposed an idea where Spamton would come eat lunch with them, and they would help teach him how to be a proper salesperson in turn. He agreed, of course, enticed by the free food, which was his ultimate goal. As the two got closer, Blue started to invite Spamton to more personal stuff, and he met the other addisons. Although they weren't as overly enthusiastic as Blue, the didn't mind his strange remarks too much. Spamton still believed he was just in it for the food, but he was genuinely much happier now that he had people to talk to. Fortunately, none of the addisons have figured out what he really is. Yet, at least.

We have had wholesome things come up...

But a part of me wonders what a fight/argument been Scarab and Liam looks like; how bad does it get?

@thechickenkitty Good question! Putting it under a readmore cause it's a lot of info!

For when Liam's a Cosmic Enity!

They don't fight/argue often with each other once Liam is a cosmic being. They communicate well to one another and sort their issues about things pretty efficiently. After eons of spending time with each other, they know the other's quirks and tells that show that they're upset/bothered/annoyed with something.

Liam is especially good at this, given how they had to pick up social cues from insects that didn't have very extensive facial expressions. (Part of reason why here they were able to tell pretty quickly that Scarab was starting to get uncomfortable) Arguments do occasionally come up- and its more of a result of how Liam lets some cosmic beings have a second chance during the judgement phase of their job. Scarab is picky about who should (and shouldn't) be allowed to have one more chance. Especially when certain cosmic entity gave him particular trouble with capturing. Things never escalate to shouting matches though.

It pretty much goes like: Scarab's rants about how said cosmic entity shouldn't be given a second chance and should be imprisoned for eternity. He can get pretty heated during this part, but Liam lets him vent it out and listens, since they know how some entities can really give him a really, really rough time.

Liam's really chill about it, not in a nonchalant way, but more in a "I get you're really passionate about this, and I love you for it. But we're not eternally imprisoning a dude because he's tired of guarding a box and instead opened up a bakery. They can combine the two, and if they don't comply then they get eternal imprisonment."

Then they give a counter argument on how said entity can improve themselves- usually gets a smart aleck response from him about how said entity should've behaved in the first place. He never really gets mad about what ever decision they make though.

A bit salty, but its more towards the cosmic entities he brings in.

Results from the aftermath either have Liam agreeing with Scarab with some cases. But usually have him going "AUGH finnnnnnne."

This exchange sometimes does help with the judgement process cause Scarab's thorough with getting additional information about how entities behaved while hiding away from auditors/how they behaved in the mortal population. He goes well into detail about those he's captured been up to while evading him. And for when Liam was mortal!

Now this is where they have quite a few arguments. Almost all being spurred on when Liam gets into troubling or life threatening situations.

Kind of touched on upon here- Scarab at first sees protecting Liam (and their brothers by extension) just as another part of his job. Them getting nearly killed on his watch would make him look bad AND get him in trouble by the big boss.

He voices his complaints a few times early on in the journey, and Liam just takes it stride pretty much going "that makes sense I guess but, geeze dude, let me do my thing" with a bit of frustration welling up on both sides.

When Scarab starts considering them his best friend that when his worry for their wellbeing makes him even more stressed out. They get into a pretty big argument after he saves them literally from the jaws of a beast.

Scarab not wanting them to continue throwing themselves into the face of danger and Liam wanting to fight their own battles. They reach a compromise, but both Scarab and Liam are mad enough that they're don't speak for a few days. Both irritated at one another, but also understanding the point the other was making.

Pretty quickly they want to apologize to each other, but both don't know how to bring it up. The two are very new to this kind of thing, especially Scarab. Making for a very awkward and tense atmosphere during that point of their journey. Finn and Jake both plot (and succeed) in making them apologize to each other.

Afterwards they come to a pretty good understanding of one another's personalities. With Scarab being more tense and reluctant about admitting his feelings, and Liam being like an open book. But both come to the conclusion that they care immensely about each other.

Arguments don't happen often after this one, and when they do (especially after another close call) it ends up with the two of them talking it out and comforting each other.

Basically the POV on the subject is like this with Scarab: "Ugh, that human is nearly getting themselves killed again. Can't let that happen, it'll make me look bad." to "Why do I feel so concerned with their well being???? They're my friend? Is that why I feel so scared when they get in dangerous situations??? What is going on??"

to

"Oh Glob I love this person, I don't want anything horrible happening to them. Aaaaugh why do they insist on being a hero and nearly getting bitten in half!? Don't they realize they'll make their family (and me) sad if they perish!? I know you can handle yourself, but please, stay safe when I'm not around, you're mortal! (I don't want to lose you)"

And Liam's POV is like: "This god auditor guy is doing his job, weird how his bosses ordered him to keep me safe. He's pretty intense, but I get it why sorta with him being immortal. Dealing with mortals must be weird/stressful with how we can just up an die."

to

"It's sweet that he cares so much about my well being. Nice to have a friend who I know will definitely have my back with anything. But he's gotta realize that I've lived like this my entire life- I can handle these things."

to

"I love you and sorry for making you so worried with our hero exploits. I'll try my damnedest to keep myself and my brother's safe. I can't stop myself from helping others. I know I can be really stubborn and reckless, but I'll try to be more cautious for both of our sakes."

This definitely helps a lot, I have to try it or adapt it to myself. Thank you so much. I want to take advantage and ask you, as a writer you are, some advice for writing your drafts and dialogues clearly. I mean, I usually write a paragraph describing what happens at each moment, but I think it is a fairly orthodox method.

Shore ting. Rough drafts and the sort are probably the easiest to get done - if you've seen the post that tells you cold turkey.

Just write the damn thing. Tell YOURSELF the story, write out what needs to be said. You want to get the descriptions, story elements, dialogue - all down. Especially when you have a tight schedule and not a lot of work time.

Drafts can benefit from a good, organized outline - or an Outline that stacks out events, scenes, and the rough dialogue content. If you're still working on specifics to your story, or you have the setting and environment firmly fixed in your brain, but you're struggling with the dialogue. Anything. And an outline can be as complex as you want it, maybe you'll write out a very detailed paragraph that you'll implant into the story itself because it was written and hit all the nuances and descriptions you needed. The same goes for dialogue - You might have brief sentences describing the scene at its bare bones, but go ham entirely on this dialogue interaction and get the whole thing scripted out. If you're struggling with a scene leading to that dialogue, or you have a scene rolling but you haven't decided the direction of the dialogue, inserting bare bones basics of your idea can benefit keeping that creative juice rolling.

Another big aspect of a draft is pacing. Which can be the trickiest concept when drafting or getting a story written. What scenes do you want to focus on? Why are they important? How do they progress the plot, the story themes you want to cover? Where are you taking the reader, and why? Because in story pacing can cover a day or an hours worth of time, in a few paragraphs - if it's not integral to the story. Like a movie montage. Or, if certain scenes and events are important, the character might spend an extended amount of time working through the scenes - i.e., paragraphs or chapters. But in your story, you have to incorporate the components that are important and interesting, and fulfil the readers need for rewards for the questions we have. In pacing your readers progress through the story, you're informing them of the events as they transpire, as they are important to your plot; you also need to keep the reader fixed in the environment so they know where they are, in reference to the characters. It might work in some cases to dump a lot of exposition onto the readers lap to get them up to speed, but for some it can be a turn off to have a lot of information to take in all at once. You can trust your process of writing that when you are giving the details at the right time, your reader will be enticed and follow, and will learn about the story at increments that are easy to understand. This can be essential to extensive world building projects, because the invested reader will stay involved with the work and keep absorbing details - then that becomes a process and relationship between the writer and reader, where both are undertaking a journey to learn about a realm that is entirely fabricated. The writer tells a story piece by piece, and the reader returns because there is always something to return to.

A good method for helping with elements like pacing and description details, is try taking the time to evaluate a graphic novel or any other rich story telling comic book media, like mangas and the sort. You can think of each panel incorporated into this visual novel as segments of paragraphs - even the little boxes that say something like WHAMO! because recall, a paragraph can be as long or as short, or a single word - its a tool at your disposal. A paragraph breaks up the flow of thought, it changes the perspective or anticipation of the reader - much like the graphic novel changes the 'camera' to view each scenes. The panels give to readers what is need to know at each moment, where and what a character is experiencing. Panels sometimes overlap, sometimes they are interesting shapes or wedge between two dynamic panels. That is how the visual story is being fed to the reader/observer, and it can be very similar to how we tell story with paragraphs - some brief paragraph inserts go over a characters internal thoughts, or a cluster of paragraphs in a sequence cover an extensive establishing scene where the characters will exist for an extended period of time. It's always important to recall pacing though, and how much in terms of details the reader needs to know.

This is also valuable to how incorporating dialogue works with in the story itself, and how to pace conversations with certain actions - dynamic or passive. Think how the reader should experience this dialogue, and what it will define of the characters. Even a purely dialogue scene can describe to the reader what is happening, or what the character is doing.

"I cannot tell you how irate I am with this situation. Ingrates! All of them! Wait. Why is my door locked?"

"Er, did no one deliver the notice? You've been replaced."

Without any context, this brief can determine a lot of different things. The first speaker is angry, and they are trying to get through a door - a door that they no longer have access to. The second speaker elaborates some news which the speaker was not given, which in itself could imply a lot of different situations - no one cared, there's been a disturbance in hierarchy, or the first speaker is very unpopular. But as I've said, a draft can be as complex or simple as you need it, so long as you can get the details down and get the general mood or theme you want to convey. All of this might shift as you elaborate the broader idea of your story, so it depends on what and where you want it all to go.

Show, don't tell. Give the reader freedom to experience the story, use their emotions and perceptions to internalize a scene. In some situations it is important to elaborate why a character feels a certain way, or why they undertake a certain action. If a character is being swept away in a river, the reader does not need to be told, Gabriel flung his arms from the frothing rapids seeking the bank, a branch, anything or he would drown under the merciless waves. The description feels more visceral and desperate if it's described, Gabriel flung his arms from the frothing rapids and lashed at sharp rocks, his fingernails ripped at wood and mud before he plunged beneath the foam. Both sentences convey the same stakes, are very similar in terms of the situation and what Gabriel needs to achieve, but the latter sentence does not need to elaborate why Gabriel is panicked and flailing - it's in the moment and immersive, wherein Gabriel and the reader are both fighting to find a handhold, but fail and are sent beneath the river's rapids. Rather tell the reader what Gabriel feels, I want to immerse my reader with the sensation and panic the character is enduring. At the same time, the process is a balance of what you need the reader to feel and keeping them adhered to the story as it unfolds. It is always okay to detach the reader from the character and exposition when it is helpful or necessary. Don't become so fixed with telling the perfect story, that the process ostracizes the readers capacity to relate or interpret what is happening, or why we should be invested.

I hope all this is helpful to the drafting process. A lot of this is also finding your style and voice in the narrative, how you choose to choreograph scenes and approach the plot. It factors into how you choose to assemble the general idea of the story, for the eventual scope of the character and readers journey. And all of that comes down to getting it written, not getting overwhelmed or hung up with an instant perfect process.

Again, if there are additional questions or anything I should clarify - coz this is a lot of stuff, feel free to ask. Im far from perfect when it comes to following my own rules, but I do have methods to my madness. And the whole writing process is good for experienced writers to review and share with others, since its a learning process that never ends.

Regressor!Ragh Barkrock Headcanons

(with cg!Gorgug and cg!Zelda)

Needless to say after the events of the Prompocalypse, there is a lot for everybody to work through. But before all of that even, Ragh already is having a lot to work through. There's so much about himself that he was repressing in order to fit into what others wanted or expected him to be, to fit into a safe little box that wasn't reflective of his true self. It was so much easier to be the bully than to admit certain things about himself. Sessions with Jawbone help him to come to terms with a few major aspects of who he is. During their sessions they tackle the fact that he's been denying his feelings about Dayne, that he'd been denying the fact itself that he was gay. They also start working through how his mom's health has been bearing down on him since he was a little kid, how he still sometimes feels like that scared little kid who worries about his mom, and by extension Jawbone recommends that Ragh might benefit from trying age regression. There's some trial and error, but sometime between prom and the next school year he figures out he falls somewhere around 7 or 8. By the time summer is over, he's not only opened up about his sexuality and has become proud of who he is, but he's got another thing to open up about still: his regression.

It's Gorgug that he tells first, naturally. They are the closest, after all. Or not so much as tells him with words, but rather it just sort of happens when he is first sorting through everything with Jawbone and giving the whole regression thing a go. They just kind of fall into a regressor and cg dynamic without even meaning to once they start hanging out after defeating Kalvaxus. Ragh doesn't even notice that he middlespaces around Gorgug so much, thinking he's just feeling really relaxed now that he has friends that accept him. In fact it's Zelda that points out how Ragh will sometimes drop his guard so heavily around Gorgug, that he loses his edge and looks at the other boy as if he's hung the moon. Gorgug, ever oblivious, never really noticed—though that didn't apparently stop him from responding in kind, softening his voice and treating him more gently than he normally would. He's always been an only child, but it's clear that he's got the makings of big brother material.

Once Ragh sort of works out that he has been middlespacing with Gorgug, he makes the next step (at Jawbone's suggestion) to ask if Gorgug would like to be his cg. Only if he wants though, was it weird to ask? Maybe he should forget it, it was dumb, right? Yeah, don't worry about it! Despite wanting to include him in this and being told that it can be beneficial to share parts of ourselves with the people we love and trust, Ragh still has a lot of issues with rejection—specifically the fear of rejection—to work through. It's all part of an ongoing healing process! So imagine his surprise when Gorgug says okay, agrees like it's the most natural thing in the world and that Ragh didn't just make himself incredibly vulnerable. It's so different than how things were before with Dayne, when any hint of vulnerability would be used against him; the idea that such vulnerability can be rewarded is still foreign to him, but that doesn't stop the spread of the grin on his face as Gorgug suggests they go get some ice-cream, a grin that only brightens as he takes his hand to lead the way.

Visits to Basrar's Soda Fountain kind of become a staple of Ragh's regression. While it's a typical hang-out spot for the Bad Kids, Gorgug winds up taking Ragh there once a week—usually going after bloodrush practice on Thursdays when all the rough-housing has inevitably brought out that rambunctious little kid he's got hiding away. Sometimes Zelda meets them there, if only to see the absolute mountain of ice-cream Ragh is about to scarf down with only the true gusto a child can manage. His order is always the same too: rocky road with extra marshmallows, topped with lots of cherries and whipped cream. The majority of it does tend to make it into his stomach on most occasions, but usually Zelda and Gorgug wind up having to wipe his face a bit to free him of the dreaded ice-cream mustache. Not to mention his hands, which are sticky with the drying cold-confection. Ragh might be a big boy but he's still a messy eater, and he's small enough that he doesn't realize he'll make everything else sticky if they don't clean him up. But so long as they get to go play on the park swings afterwards, he doesn't put up too much of a fuss about getting cleaned up.

On the off chance that Gorgug is busy, Ragh finds himself slipping around Zelda. The time they spend together is always very chill, and usually involves the two of them laying in the grass as they watch the clouds, listening to her music with an earbud between them. To anyone else her musical preferences might not seem the most calming for a kid, but for Ragh the thrasher metal is so irrevocably Zelda that it has that effect on him. Nothing bad is going to happen to him as long as he's with her, and the music is just another reminder of her presence. Plus, it certainly doesn't hurt that he's an energetic kid and this is some pretty energetic music. Ragh asks her questions about what they are listening to that day, what songs are her favorites, stuff like that. Later on he'll get Gorgug to help him burn a special CD for her, being sure to decorate a sleeve to put it in. It's a fun arts and crafts project for him and a gift for her, so it's a win-win!

The trip they take for spring break—or rather the adventure they go on—is a lot of excitement for the little guy. They get to go to a floating pirate city! Time in the Hangvan is filled with a lot less "are we there yet"s than anticipated, as the novelty of a van that can transform into a boat and talk doesn't wear off so quickly when you're seven years old. Especially when that van has magic on it that makes little rooms in the back for them. Despite how cool and exciting everything is however, the adventure is still scary at times and can take a lot out of him when he starts fraying at the edges so to speak. The stuff with his mom does not help this, and so whenever the group does get to rest it isn't uncommon to find him practically latched to Gorgug's side. More often than not they wind up falling asleep with Ragh snuggled up to his side with Gorgug's arm slung around him protectively.

And while Gorgug is busy trying to call Zelda, Ragh is busy with his own little task. He may not be able to help with the calling thing much, but he does think it might be nice to bring her something back. He's the type of kid that is all about the "I found this cool shell/rock/etc. and I thought you'd like it" lifestyle. Wherever it is they go, he's always picking up something to add to the small bag he bought back before they left for this exact purpose—nobody even notices him doing it, and nobody really questions why he's got a little satchel filled with seemingly random items. As far as they are concerned, that's just Ragh being Ragh. Once they get back he's sure to give it to her, and gets Gorgug to help him tell the story behind each of the little "treasures" he brought back for her. It was their adventure, but he wants all three of them to be able to share a piece of it!

rules? in a knife fight?

(originally posted in 2009 on annakatherine.com, and reposted in 2012 on the Anna Katherine co-tumblr)

There is a very popular idea in fantasy writing that magic should have rules. What I mean is, there should be a system, a consistency to the magic being used by the characters.

I am totally fine with this idea. Since magic often takes the place of (or artificially creates) real-world systems, it makes sense that there should be rules, if only to know when you’re breaking them.

But here’s the thing: Real world magic, historically speaking, doesn’t really happen that way. It’s not organized, and it’s not bound by a common magical language or a single set of ideas — it’s just a mishmash of anything we humans could get our hands on.

When I talk about “real world magic,” I don’t mean modern Wiccan religion, or Satanism, or whathaveyou. I mean the stuff Classics majors drool over and folklorists clutch to their collective bosoms. The Greek Magical Papyri in Translation; Agrippa’s Natural Magic. In “real” magic, people are walking around living a giant Skinner box experiment:

[A pigeon] is put into an experimental cage for a few minutes each day. A food hopper attached to the cage may be swung into place so that the pigeon can eat from it. A solenoid and a timing relay hold the hopper in place for five sec. at each reinforcement. If a clock is now arranged to present the food hopper at regular intervals with no reference whatsoever to the bird’s behavior, operant conditioning usually takes place. In six out of eight cases the resulting responses were so clearly defined that two observers could agree perfectly in counting instances. One bird was conditioned to turn counter-clockwise about the cage, making two or three turns between reinforcements. Another repeatedly thrust its head into one of the upper corners of the cage. A third developed a ‘tossing’ response, as if placing its head beneath an invisible bar and lifting it repeatedly. Two birds developed a pendulum motion of the head and body, in which the head was extended forward and swung from right to left with a sharp movement followed by a somewhat slower return. The body generally followed the movement and a few steps might be taken when it was extensive. Another bird was conditioned to make incomplete pecking or brushing movements directed toward but not touching the floor. […] The conditioning process is usually obvious. The bird happens to be executing some response as the hopper appears; as a result it tends to repeat this response.

Skinner goes on to relate this to common human behavior:

The experiment might be said to demonstrate a sort of superstition. The bird behaves as if there were a causal relation between its behavior and the presentation of food, although such a relation is lacking. There are many analogies in human behavior. Rituals for changing one’s luck at cards are good examples. A few accidental connections between a ritual and favorable consequences suffice to set up and maintain the behavior in spite of many unreinforced instances. The bowler who has released a ball down the alley but continues to behave as if he were controlling it by twisting and turning his arm and shoulder is another case in point. These behaviors have, of course, no real effect upon one’s luck or upon a ball half way down an alley, just as in the present case the food would appear as often if the pigeon did nothing — or, more strictly speaking, did something else.

This accounts for stuff like turning your coat inside-out when you’re having a bad run of cards, throwing salt over your shoulder to avoid bad luck, or any number of childhood magics that we all grew up with (avoiding sidewalk cracks, holding our breath at the graveyard, etc.). But what about the big stuff — the magic you do on purpose?

Turns out that back in the (papyrus) days, if something sounded like a good idea, they’d stick it in on the principle of the thing. For instance, one of my favorite Greek invocations is for Abrasax, the year god. He wasn’t a member of the traditional pantheon, though — someone just took the number of days of the year, added it all up, converted the numbers to letters, and came up with Abrasax. With all that math and cryptography involved, it had to be magical! The logic seemed good, the name was added to a bunch of already-in-progress magic, et voila, Abrasax kind of takes off.

Math wasn’t the only thing that made stuff magical — words, gods, and anything else that was Not From Around Here could easily be taken up and applied to the magic already being done. Georg Luck, in his academic text Arcana Mundi, says:

Incidentally, the borrowing of names, concepts, and rituals from foreign religions is one of the characteristics of ancient witchcraft, as the magical papyri attest. Even though cities like Alexandria and Rome were already full of sanctuaries of exotic deities, apparently there was still room for more speculation and more experiment. No doubt the religions of ancient Egypt were similarly misinterpreted or at least simplified by the Greeks of the Hellensitic period who lived in Egypt, and these religious practices survived, through a series of transformations, in the mainstream of magical doctrine.

So in our book Salt and Silver, the characters fumble around with magic and demons that have been around forever — or that they maybe just discovered last week. They mix together religions and folklore and cultures, just in case. They do things they don’t understand because it seems to have worked in the past. They make stuff up, just in case it might work.

What this all comes down to is: Rules for magic? What rules? The only rules that apply here are whatever makes people people. Rather than a rigid system of magic, there’s just psychology (as in: “this is how humans behave — because we are humans, we will do what humans do, even if, logically speaking, it makes no sense whatsoever”). In real life, we take stuff that sounds good, and if it works — or seems to, anyway — we’ll keep doing it. We’ll pass it on to others. And at some point we’ll even forget where it came from and just assume that it’s always been like that. The magic may not make sense if you pull it out of context, but that’s kind of the point — the context is us. Without people, there might as well be no magic at all — in either the real world, or, at least in this book, in romantic escapades.

Android AU, Part Two

So, who in this AU is an android? Oh boy! Let's talk about it!

Some quick worldbuilding first: I already said that the androids chose their own names and that the teams don't know about this. So, what does the world know them by? This has changed over time. Originally, it was generally by the name of the model - so a Red Bull android, say, the seventh, would be RBAP-7 (Red Bull Android Program Seven). Ferrari have the SFAP line, Mercedes the M-P-AMG? AMG-M-P? But humans are incapable of not naming things, so that got thrown out the window. Now, it's common for an android to have a sort of logo animal (coughhoneybadgercough).

Now, let's get into the meat of this post.

Daniel Ricciardo: Android known as the Honey Badger. Brought in by Red Bull.

Max Verstappen: Human. Second person Daniel trusted with his name. These two get along insanely well, and even though androids don't usually do a lot of marketing work, people clock this.

Seb Vettel: Human. The first person Daniel trusted with his name, after Seb figured out that he was sentient. By 2022 has gotten to know most of the androids on the grid through patience and some trial and error. (It doesn't always go over well when you blindside your teammate with 'sentient?, 'course you are, how's your day going?')

Carlos Sainz: Android from the Red Bull program. Known as Meerkat. (Chose this one because he's said a couple times that it's his favorite animal. Also big eyes go stareeeee.)

Charles Leclerc: Android from the Ferrari program that debuted with Sauber. Known as Mouse. He does tell Seb his name while they are teammates, though it takes him a good long while.

Quick sidenote here: I've gone the combo route with the androids. They do have hardware (Ultralight skeletons and insanely fast processing most notably), but wetware is a big component, because it's lighter. So their musculature and external appearance is quite within the norm. Long way to say, C2 are still the 'This is Charles. Charles loves his personal space. This is Carlos. Carlos also loves Charles's personal space' meme, Mediterranean limpets that they are.

Lando Norris: Human. Knows about Carlos's sentience, and by extension has put together that the androids on track are hiding this from most everyone involved in the travelling circus. Puts his foot in his mouth with this a bit, early on with Daniel, who was not expecting Lando to cotton on to this.

As a matter of fact, the 2019 season was notable for all three rookies being human. This doesn't stop rumors from cropping up the way they tend to about 'x driver is secretly an android', usually targeted at George.

Fernando Alonso: Android. Goes by his name. The old man war criminal we all love. Delights in baffling people, and it's extremely common for f1 newbies to just assume he's just a Dude. (That doesn't sound like it might come up when people start discussing android sentience openly, not at all...)

Other human drivers: Lance Stroll, Esteban Ocon, Kimi Raikonnen, Oscar Piastri, Valterri Bottas, Lewis Hamilton, Nico Rosberg, Alex Albon.

Other android drivers: Yuki Tsunoda, Pierre Gasly, Logan Sargeant (Not relevant to the story at all, I think), Nicholas Latifi.

A note on team principals: Christian Horner Knows. Never says anything, but he Knows. Toto Wolff would know, but none of the Mercedes drivers are androids. Mattia Binotto does not know, and it's probably a good thing he doesn't.

#i waffled all day over whether charles was an android or not #it would be so interesting to keep the c2 dynamic with that difference in mind #but for seb plot purposes an android he shall be #f1 #f1 android au #i need a title for this #maybe stomach of iron nerves of steel #but that feels veeery on the nose #and i like my titles to be complicated #anyway yes eirian this is all your doing #thank you much

How Long Does It Take to Install a Log Burner?

Log burners are surprisingly easy to install (at least for professionals). However, the extent of the project depends on numerous variables.

As such, it’s reasonable to ask, how long does it take to install a log burner? It can take between 1 and 4 days to install a log burner, although this time could be spread out over several visits.

Ultimately, installation time depends on what you already have installed, how much alteration work is needed, and whether your hearth needs repairing.

In this article, we’ll look at why it takes so long to install a log burner along with the process of actually fitting one in your home.

How Long Should It Take to Install a Log Burner?

Provided your chimney and hearth are in decent condition, the installation of a new log burner can take a single afternoon. We’ll detail the process below, but it can be as simple as installing the relevant flue liners and then the stove itself.

However, depending on the age and condition of your property, you might need some repair work before the stove is fitted. For example, you might need a twin-wall chimney system, which can take 2 or 3 days.

Then there’s full renovation work, which is necessary if the existing hearth has been blocked off or your original chimney has been removed. While these can seem like quite extensive jobs, they can usually be done in less than a week. Your main delay will be waiting for things to dry, such as mortar, glue, paint, etc.

Although you could install a log burner yourself with a bit of DIY knowledge, it might be worth speaking to a professional first. It can be a simple job if everything is in good shape and you’re simply fitting the stove itself. However, any sort of repair or installation work is best done by a professional seeing as you’re ultimately dealing with a space in your home that contains fire.

Is It Difficult to Install a Wood Burner?

Provided you’re simply installing a new wood burner – without any repair or alteration work – it’s a straightforward job. Below is a list of the components needed and some brief steps for taking care of the job.

To install a wood burner, you’ll need:

·  Stove pipe

·  Register plate

·  Chimney liner

·  Chimney cowl

·  Fire cement

·  Wood burner

Basically, you start by installing the chimney liner (also called the flue liner) inside the existing chimney. This is then fixed to the chimney cowl with fire cement before the register plate is fitted. A register plate isn’t necessary – it just stops you from seeing all the bits inside the chimney.

Next, you fit the stove pipe to the end of the flue that attaches to the stove. Fill in any gaps around the register plate with fire cement and you should be ready to install the stove.

As we’ve mentioned elsewhere, wood burners are pretty heavy. You’ll probably want some help shifting it into place to avoid injuring yourself. Once everything is connected, though, you’ll be ready to light a fire!

Installing a Wood Burner in an Existing Fireplace

Installing a wood burner in an existing fireplace is arguably the most straightforward method. Traditional fireplaces are meant for open fires, so you might be limited in the size of wood burner you can actually fit, however.

Another thing you must consider is the wood burner’s distance from combustibles. In this case, it’s most likely the mantelpiece, as these are traditionally made from wood. The general rule is that combustible materials must be 3x the diameter of the flue in distance from the log burner.

If you don’t think this will be possible, the easiest option is to replace the mantelpiece with one made on a non-combustible material, such as stone. While it might seem like a big job, it’s certainly easier than not having a wood burner!

But as long as your chimney is suitable for a wood burner (rather than a gas fire) and you’ve checked the above variables, all you need to do is install the burner and necessary extras. Compared to re-opening a fireplace, it’s a very simple process.

Final Thoughts

Installing a log burner doesn’t need to be a long or complex job. However, you must get your chimney checked first, as it’ll need to be up to standard before you start fitting a log burner.

If you’re unsure of what this process involves, contact a professional installer. They’ll have the knowledge to handle this job for you, ensuring your wood burner is as safe as possible.

4 Things They Don't Tell You When You Sell Your Home

Now that you’re selling your home, you may see a little more to this than just putting a ‘for sale’ sign in your front garden. Many people think this will be a super easy process, but more often than not, some obstacles will cause stress. This article will examine four things people don’t tell you about when you’re moving and how you can sort them. You Have A Lot Of Stuff Pexels CCO License When it comes to packing up your belongings, you will soon realise that you have a lot of stuff; by that, we mean a lot. If you have the dreaded job of downsizing your current home, then there may be many things you can’t take with you. When it comes to packing everything up, you will understand how big of a job you have on your hands. A great way to deal with this is to pack away little bits here and there when you know you won’t need them until you’ve moved. You don’t want to pack away the plates and realise you haven’t kept any out to use.  Buyers Can And Do Pull Out It has been known that a buyer has put an offer on your home, and then pulled out at the last minute. This could be because they no longer have the funds. After all, they have found somewhere else they like better because they have decided not to move for various reasons. It doesn’t matter to you what the reason is that it leaves you in the lurch no matter what. You need to be prepared for this so that you understand that just because an offer has been made until the transaction is complete, things can always go sideways. You May Need Extensive Repairs If your home is in a state of disrepair, this will need to be sorted before you sell up. There is something called a pre-sale inspection that you can get done. This will highlight any big jobs that need to be done to ensure your home is structurally sound. You may have also built up a list of jobs inside the home that you have been putting off. You might notice a problem with your drains that you can’t rectify on your own. If you have tried all normal methods to alleviate the problem, you may need to call the help of a drainage plumber.  Buyers Have Their Own Schedule The final thing that we’ll mention is that buyers have their schedules. They will take their time, and do things when they decide they are ready, usually not in a hurry. This can be frustrating for the homeowner, but patience is paramount when selling your home.

defense, not destruction

pairing: alcina dimitrescu x reader

summary: alcina joins you while you clean and sharpen your weapons

The castle was quiet, but not eerily so. It seemed that fortune had smiled upon you that day. Each of the girls were consumed with their own tasks and Alcina had gone out that morning for a meeting with Miranda. There had been a lot going on, preparations for something big that you knew nothing about. Those preparations had distracted you from taking the time to properly attend to your weapon collection.

Many of the villagers had upgraded to guns for protection against the Lycans and whatnot, but you were different. You came from a proud line of blacksmiths, a family that had been making swords and metal weapons for centuries. It was something ingrained in the deepest parts of your being. Whenever you held a sword or blade in your hand, you felt like you were fulfilling some sort of destiny. The only other thing that had ever felt so right to you was kissing Alcina.

You were prepared for a long day of cleaning and sharpening your weapons alone. Bela knew to leave you alone when you did your work, but occasionally Cassandra would come in to watch and pick up a few tips. Daniela would try to come and watch, but Bela usually dragged her out at Cassandra's insistence. Today though, Bela had run off to wait for Donna since the weather seemed to be warm enough for her to venture out. Cassandra was chasing soon-to-be-replaced maids in the dungeons, no doubt to what would later be her mother's chagrin. Daniela had mentioned something about watching over Heisenberg's factory, which you were certain that neither Heisenberg nor Alcina knew about beforehand.

"Y/n, my beloved!" Alcina called out. A pleasant shiver ran down your spine at the sound of her voice. You stepped out from your room and peeked your head into the hallway just in time to catch her coming up at the top of the stairs. "Ah, there you are. I should have guessed you would be playing with your little toys."

"They're not toys, despite what you and your daughters think," you chided. Alcina crossed the hallway to get to you and smiled as she held your jaw in her hand.

"Of course not." She bent down to gently press a kiss to your lips. You allowed her to join you in your room as you resumed the sharpening process for a scythe that you had made with Cassandra when teaching her how to make her own. "They are all very intricate, beautiful in their own ways. Your kind forgets that destruction can be just as artistic as creation, but not you."

"These weren't created to destroy, they are for defense," you corrected. "Y/l/n do not draw first blood."

Alcina had heard the spiel a million times, but she sat through it once again. This time, you dropped your scythe to pick up a short sword as you did so. To punctuate particularly important points about battle, you swung the sword or performed an intricate flourish. Alcina's eyes followed your every move, even when the glint of the light reflecting from the blade distracted her. You moved as one with the sword, using it more as an extension of yourself than an equipped weapon. She would never admit this, but Alcina could watch you talk about your little creations for eternity if she was so fortunate.

tap out

pairing: rhea ripley x reader

summary: rhea has a surprising revelation during her match with you

Your chest heaved as you gasped in air. If there was ever a match for the crowd to remember, this would be it. Tonight, you and Rhea were here to hurt each other. All of the emotional pain you'd been feeling, the hatred for Rhea that had been festering inside of you since her betrayal would be coming out. You were intent on making her feel what you had felt, just in a way that she'd understand. Rhea had taken so much away from you when she had left, and it felt like she didn't care. All Rhea wanted was a championship, but you had "failed" to get her one, so you were discarded.

"You can't beat me Y/n, you're pathetic," Rhea said as she kicked you. You rolled onto your back and placed your hands over your face. Tears were threatening to spill down your cheeks, but you wouldn't let them fall. Rhea didn't deserve to make you cry, not any more than she already had. It was going to be her turn to shed some tears this time.

Rhea glanced over at Edge, who was standing ringside for this match. He gave her a curt nod and watched with a wild look in his eye as Rhea walked over to you. She grabbed a fistful of your hair and lifted you up into a sitting position. Your head was yanked back, forcing you to look at Rhea as she grabbed your jaw. It was somewhat reminiscent of a different scenario between the two of you, one that you now knew meant absolutely nothing to her.

"Pathetic," Rhea growled as she watched the first tear fall. The look of disgust in her eyes set something off inside of you, even if you didn't have the energy to really act on it.

"I hate you!" you screamed at her. Rhea let go of your jaw, but she kept her hand in your hair to hold your head in place as she slapped you. You hit the mat once again and laid there in a dazed state.

"Submit her. Make her tap. Make her hurt. Show her what it takes to be a champion," Edge told Rhea. Rhea nodded in confirmation as she took a step towards you. You looked up at Rhea, a pleading look in your eyes.

"You don't have to do this," you said quietly. The mics wouldn't pick it up and the camera was focused on Rhea and not you. There was a moment where you saw hesitation wash over her. You caught a look of regret in her eyes as she looked at you. The blue eyes you had once found comfort in looked sad and tired. She knew what she had to do and despite her feelings about you, she was going to do it. They'd been buried deep for a long time and could stay for a little while longer. Besides, you had already told her that you hated her, which was more than enough for Rhea to accept the fact that she had lost you.

"What are you waiting for? Make her tap!" Edge ordered. Rhea moved forward like his perfect little henchwoman. She pulled you up onto your knees and turned you around so that you were facing the camera. She held you in a chokehold, a move that she had picked up from you. You felt her head dip down a little so that her mouth was right behind your ear. Through all the pain you were fighting through, you felt her place a kiss there, which definitely threw you off a little.

"I love you," Rhea whispered. There was no getting away from Rhea in that hold. Hearing her confession had sent you into a bit of a panic. Your already stunted ability to breathe worsened, so you quickly tapped out and scrambled out of the ring. Edge went inside to celebrate with Rhea, but when you glanced back at her from the top of the ramp, she didn't look happy. Instead, she was watching you wistfully. Whether she meant to or not, Rhea had played dirty, and somehow, you'd get your revenge against her.

Yours and Mine

pairing: Rhea Ripley x Reader

summary: Rhea really should have just agreed to train you, but maybe, just maybe, she didn't mind the end result of her faux paus.

warnings: smut

Rhea's jaw clenched tightly as she watched you in the training ring. You had asked her again and again for help, each time being rejected. Rhea had assumed that you'd just dropped it once you stopped asking, but now she knew different. Because there you were pinned down in the ring by Austin Theory. She hadn't been paying much attention to what was going on before this, but she was pretty sure that you didn't need that much help with your pinning strategy. Besides, that was something Rhea was more than happy to demonstrate for you.

"Careful, you grit your teeth anymore and they'll shatter," Bianca teased. Rhea whipped her head around to shoot the other wrestler a nasty glare. Bianca held her hands up in surrender and offered Rhea a solution to her obvious issue, "Just go in there and stop it. Austin won't do this if he thinks you'll kick his ass for it. He likes his own face too much."

"This is my fault to begin with. If I'd just train her, she wouldn't be in there with him," Rhea let out a defeated sigh.

"If that's how you're going to be, might as well give a condom and let him drive her home." Bianca left Rhea with that and a pat on the back. Rhea glanced back towards the ring, just in time to see you slap Austin in the face. Everybody looked sort of shocked at that as you stormed out of the ring. Rhea watched you stomp across the room towards her.

"Everything okay?" Rhea asked you. There was genuine concern in her voice, and that calmed you down quite a bit. Still, your blood was boiling from the audacity that man had. It was no secret that you were taken, but to some people, it seemed having a girlfriend meant that your relationship meant less. You didn't know why, but you swore that some guys thought their dicks held all the power in the world.

"Take me home," you told Rhea. She didn't wait for you to ask nicely or anything. The two of you got your bags and then went on your way. You were quiet in the car, seething in your own rage quietly. Rhea was feeding off of it, her grip tightening around the steering wheel every so often. You stared at her hands and fingers flexing around the wheel. Your anger didn't subside, but it began to take another form: arousal.

Rhea picked up on the change in your mood. You saw the slight clench of her thighs and shifting as she drove. The drive from the PC to your place had never felt so long in your entire life before. Still, the two of you managed to keep your hands and mouths off of each other until you were inside. However, once you were inside, all bets were off.

There was no moving around each other or waiting for the sake of building a moment. Both of you understood that you wanted, no, needed each other. Rhea's hands clawed at your clothing, practically tearing it off of your body until you were in just a sports bra and your underwear. It wasn't supposed to be overly sexy or seductive, but Rhea was looking at you like you were the hottest woman she'd ever seen before. You couldn't help the blush that rose up on your chest from the intensity of her gaze on you.

"Come here," Rhea commanded. You took two steps towards her and the wall she had been leaning against to stare at you. She grabbed you by the hips to pull your body flush against hers. Then, she flipped the two of you around so that your body was pinned up against the wall as her thigh slipped in between yours. Her shorts rode up just enough for you to feel the heat of her thigh through your underwear. "So wet, was that from him or me?"

"Don't talk about him," you told her. If it wasn't for the way you held eye contact with her, Rhea probably wouldn't have listened to you. The arousal in your eyes veered back towards anger once again, but subsided when Rhea pressed her lips against yours. The kiss was softer than expected, but it didn't last very long. The flick of her tongue against your lips had your mouth falling open for her to explore. You teased her a little, playing with the ball of her tongue ring before she changed the angle of the kiss to better bite at your bottom lip.

"What do you want from me?" Rhea asked you. Her hands were on your hips, grinding you against her. It was rough and dirty, but you hadn't been this turned on in weeks. There was an intensity that you hadn't quite realized that your relationship was missing. Not that you were complaining, Rhea's surprising softness with you was very welcome. It definitely made the rougher moments like this all the more special.

"I want you to fuck me until I can't take it anymore," you answered. Rhea held back with her reaction, opting to just hum as she continued grinding you against her thigh. "Give me everything I can handle, and then some. I'm yours Rhea. Now, please let me have what's mine."

"Oh fuck," Rhea groaned. She pushed your head to the side and buried her face in the side of your neck. You swore that your head was spinning as your first orgasm hit you with its full force. Rhea let up on your hips, but didn't stop with her mouth on your neck. Your knees buckled, causing you to fall against her a little as you slid down the wall. Your thighs shook at the sudden bit of friction, and Rhea knew then and there that you were ready to go back into the bedroom.

She pulled you along the hallway, stumbling only slightly on your shaky legs. You let yourself be unceremoniously dumped onto the bed and pulled over enough that your legs were dangling over the edge. Rhea kept one hand in between your legs, teasing you as she leaned over and pulled out her favorite toy from the bedside table. You sat up on your elbows to watch her put it on herself, working quickly with just one hand. It was impressive, almost as impressive as her performance with it.

"Please-," you reached up and wrapped your arm around the back of Rhea's neck, "-don't make me wait."

Rhea gave the dildo a quick coating of lube before slowly sliding inside of you. She inched in, giving you plenty of time to change your mind or slow her down even more. Instead, you pushed yourself forward until Rhea was completely buried inside of you. Her hands pulled your thighs up so that your legs could wrap around her waist. Rhea held you in her arms for a moment before laying you back on the bed, body pinned beneath hers. You felt comfortable there, safely tucked under the blanket of her strength and warmth.

You hadn't expected for Rhea to stay so deep with you at first. She rocked her hips back and forth, never pulling out more than a few inches before sliding herself back inside of you. You clung to Rhea as she pushed your hips down to change the angle. It was accidental, the slip of her hand causing her nails to dig into your skin just as your second orgasm of the night overtook your body. However, it was a welcome accident, as your body shivered just a little more as you tried coming down.

Rhea didn't give you a moment of rest though, and before you could open your eyes and catch your breath again, she had you flipped onto your stomach. She pulled your hips up and snapped hers against yours in hard thrusts. She didn't go for speed, and she didn't need to. The force rocked your body with aftershocks until they became more than that. She placed her hand on your shoulder and dragged her nails down your back.

"God!" you cried out as Rhea looped her arm around your hips to rub at your clit. Your legs gave out from under you, but Rhea kept her relentless pace. This time when you came, she leaned down and kissed the side of your face. Tears formed in the corners of your eyes, threatening to spill out like the cum dribbling out from around the dildo Rhea was fucking you with. You turned your head away from her in an attempt to hide your face, but Rhea pulled your head back so that she could still see your face.

"You did so good baby," Rhea cooed as she finally pulled out of you. You whined and whimpered at the loss of contact, but it was nice to be able to fully relax your entire body again. Rhea was careful as she held you not to accidentally brush against you in the wrong way. She let you lay there until some of your sensitivity had worn off before taking you into the bathroom for a bath. The two of you got cleaned up together, and then Rhea went to change the bedsheets and blankets. You were more than happy to join her for a nap while those were washed and dried.

Bubble Pop Electric

pairing: Rhea Ripley x Reader

prompt: 11. "Look at you humping my thigh in the back of the car like a little slut."

warnings: smut

"Come on," you said as you pulled Rhea through the parking garage. It wasn't often you got to wrestle with Rhea, and it was even less often that you got a win over her. Tonight, despite her multiple pin attempts, you had tapped her out. She had hit the Riptide with you, and you'd still kicked out. The match was already being called the best of the night, and while all of that was great, you wanted to get Rhea alone.

"Calm down, we've got all night," Rhea laughed as she stumbled a little behind you. Somehow, she hadn't picked up on why you were so insistent on getting out of the venue. She hadn't felt the heat radiating from your body in the ring. She hadn't noticed the darkening of your eyes. Rhea was clueless, and you needed to drop a pretty big hint for her.

"No, we really do not," you said as you stopped a couple feet in front of her car. Rhea quirked her eyebrow at you, a look of slight concern on her face. You placed your hands on her cheeks and jumped up a little to give her a kiss. Rhea caught you in her arms and gave you a moment to adjust yourself comfortably there. You took the chance to grind against her, moaning a little too loudly for her comfort. There were definitely still cars on that floor of the garage, and you'd been loud enough to be heard on at least a couple other floors as well.

"Shh," Rhea tried shushing you. She opened her mouth again to say something, but you cut her off by rolling your hips against her again. Rhea dropped her arms from around you, and for a moment you were afraid that you'd overstepped. "Get in the backseat."

"Whatever you want," you said with a wink. Rhea spanked you as you passed her, the noise loud enough to echo a little. You shot her a mocking glare, but Rhea knew you were too far gone for that to really be an issue. You laid down in the backseat but made sure that there was enough room for Rhea to be semi-comfortably situated on top of you.

"I don't know if you've proved to me how much you want me yet," Rhea said nonchalantly as she shut the door behind her. You pouted, knowing that Rhea wasn't going to actually touch you until you showed her how desperate you really were. Rhea knew that you wanted her, but she also knew that you weren't going to deny her something like a little show. Especially if it meant that whenever she did get you back home or to the hotel room, you were already wet and waiting for her to have her way with you.

"Fuck Rhea, I don't know what you want me to do," you whined. Rhea sat back and stared at you, daring you to figure it out yourself. Your mind scrambled to find some way to prove to her that you were pretty far gone already. The realization hit you like a ton of bricks, and your body moved on its own accord onto her lap. Through your leggings, you could feel the warm muscle of Rhea's thighs against your core. Slowly, you started to grind yourself against her thigh, moaning quietly as your forehead rested against her shoulder. "Oh fuck."

"Yeah, that's it. Get yourself off baby," Rhea encouraged. You felt little kisses against your temple, prompting you to lift your head until your lips could meet Rhea's. Her kisses switched between light and heated, keeping you on your toes for what would come next. Her lips danced along your jawline and down the column of your neck. Your hips canted forward as Rhea's mouth sucked against your pulse point hard enough to leave what would be a problematic hickey later on. "Look at you humping my thigh in the backseat like a little slut."

"Only for you," you muttered against Rhea's shoulder as your head dipped again.

"What was that?"

"Only for you," you repeated. "I'm only a slut for you Rhea."

"Fuck this, we gotta get out of here," Rhea practically growled. She clambered into the front seat and booked it out of the parking garage. The two of you were definitely lucky that the roads were clear enough for Rhea to get away with speeding as much as she had in her frantic rush to get you into bed.

Bad Girls Have More Fun

pairing: Jennifer Check x Reader

prompt: "I wonder what your boyfriend would do if he knew what you were doing right now."

warnings: smut

A chill ran down your spine as you once again looked around yourself in a desperate attempt to figure out who was watching you. Devil's Kettle was supposed to be safe, but here you were fearing for your life. Yes, you knew that the cannibal was only eating teenage boys for now, but it was only a matter of time before they ran out of options. Besides, it wasn't just yourself that you were scared for. While you walked yourself home, Eric spent his afternoons playing football in the park with his friends. There was nothing stopping this psycho from killing your boyfriend or one of his friends.

"Y/n, hey!" Jennifer Check yelled out of her car. It slowed down next to you to keep pace. "Do you need a ride?"

"It's okay Jennifer, I'm almost home," you politely declined. You didn't trust Jennifer. You'd never trusted her. She wasn't the type to do nice things for people who weren't Needy. Although, if word on the street was right, those two weren't exactly on friendly terms anymore. It didn't surprise you, Jennifer Check was like a parasite who could drive away anyone. You didn't understand why all of the guys seemed to be infatuated with her.

"Come on, it's dangerous to walk around like this. There's a killer on the loose, and like you said, your place isn't too far," Jennifer said. You went against your better judgement and got into Jennifer's car. "Where to?"

"Home, please," you answered. Jennifer slowly pressed on the gas, accelerating steadily until she was definitely going way over the speed limit. "M-maybe you should slow down. You wouldn't want to get a ticket."

"I'm not afraid of a ticket Y/n. You seem scared though, you should calm down," Jennifer told you. Your knuckles were turning white as you gripped the little bar by the door. Jennifer pulled onto a side road that definitely wasn't where either of you lived as she slowed down to a stop. "Seriously, calm down Y/n I was just fucking with you. God, you're such a good girl."

"That's n-not a bad thing," you stammered. Jennifer cut the engine to the car and turned to face you. Suddenly, you got very nervous, and not in a way that you expected. There had been hints of these nerves during your first time with Eric, but they were nothing compared to what Jennifer's gaze was inciting.

"Maybe you're not as good as I thought," Jennifer said, as if she could sense your budding arousal. She reached forward and trailed her hand along your jaw. Your breath hitched when her thumb brushed over your lips. Instinctively, they parted, which Jennifer took as an invitation to lean forward and kiss you. Her lips felt so soft against yours, unlike anything you'd ever felt before. The kiss was heated, but not messy.

"Wait, we can't do this! I have an Eric." You sounded panicked, but Jennifer was unbothered. In fact, she looked somewhat amused by this.

"I wonder what your boyfriend would do if he knew what you were doing right now."

You had an idea or two about what Eric would have done if he saw you kissing Jennifer Check. It was wrong using that to rationalize the urge to lean into Jennifer's embrace. You knew that it was wrong, but that didn't stop you. It definitely didn't deter Jennifer one bit, who slowly kept pushing the physical contact further and further. Still, she kept things from getting too intimate.

"Surprising," Jennifer noted as she wrapped her hand around your throat. She could feel your heart racing as she began to lightly squeeze. Your hips moved forward, brushing your center against her fingers. You let out a small gasp as her fingers moved past your underwear. Just like kissing Jennifer had been infinitely better, so was being touched by her. There was a softness that you didn't know you craved in her body that you doubted you could find anywhere else. You had never cum so easily in your life before, nor had you ever felt so satisfied. Jennifer dropped you off at your house and then drove away with the promise to pick you up from the parking lot tomorrow after school.
