peachy - j. jaehyun
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
-> jeong jaehyun x fem! reader [established relationship!]
-> era! save era (specifically June 3rd 2021, the mafia vlive cause he looked so fucking good i would have literally let him fuck me on the floor )
-> fluff, smut
-> w: cursing, unprotected sex (wrap before you tap), creampie, breeding kink, fingering
-> a/n: this was supposed to be called 'peaches n cream' but that sounds gross :D this was also supposed to be a drabble of soft sex but it turned out to be kind of kinky and for that i am sorry
She’s back ;)
Tumblr media
“Babe, babe, babe, babe, babe, bae-'' you called from inside your bedroom.
“Yes?” The brown haired boy moved his eyes up from his phone, staring at your head that had poked through the space of the open door.
“Come, come, come here; I have something to show you.” you beamed. Hearing the creak of the leather and his soft sigh, your heart begins to race and you wonder if he’ll enjoy what you bought the other day when you went to the mall.
“Yes- oh, jeez… what are you doing?” he flinched back when you covered his eyes and led him to the edge of the bed.
“Hush, it’s a surprise.” you giggled, “Keep your eyes closed until I tell you to open them, okay?”
“Uh-huh.” the boy answered dryly, but squeezed his eyes tightly nonetheless, all while you made your way in front of him.
“Okay, and open!”
When his vision cleared, the first thing Jaehyun saw was you, standing pantless and proud directly in front of him. Even though you stood silently with a wide smile, you were practically screaming the words ‘look at me!’. Your boyfriend quickly averted his gaze to whatever it was on you that looked glossy whenever the light hit it, a smile forming on his lips as soon as he realized what it was.
“You bought peach underwear.” you bit your bottom lip as you grinned when Jaehyun met your eyes. The boy giggled, placing his hands on the side of your thighs, once you had moved closer.
Leaning in, he pressed a kiss to your stomach, then another one hip bone, along with a last one above the center lining— looking up at you while doing so.
Your hands raked through his hair while he kneaded your ass, planting more soft kisses on you.
“On or off?” You asked. Jaehyun's eyes met yours as his teeth scratched at your skin, tugging at the material of your panties and letting it snap back against you.
“They were a present for me, so shouldn’t I thank you by fucking you with them on?” A cocky smile stretched on his lips as he pulled you down into his lap. Chuckling into a kiss, your fingers curled in his soft brown hair as he moved your hips against his growing erection.
Letting out a soft moan, your head fell back while Jaehyun kissed down your neck, adding in a few bites here and there. “Jae, please…”
Hearing your request, your boyfriend quickly changed your position so he could be hovering above you. “Move up for me, baby.” The boy smirked, guiding you with a hand on your waist as you brought yourself to the top of the bed.
A gasp left your mouth when you suddenly felt a pair of fingers slip underneath the cloth of your panties. “You’re so wet for me already.” Jaehyun giggled as he prodded at your hole with two fingers. Slowly pushing them in, your boyfriend thrust them a few times before pulling them out.
Whining in annoyance, you almost snapped your legs closed around his neck, but with a firm hand on your upper thigh, Jaehyun pushed them back open again. “Look at this.” he said, pulling out from your hole, only to spread his fingers and watch your arousal rope together. He beamed as he played with your wetness a little more before popping his fingers into his mouth, sucking them clean. “Tastes good.” The wink he sent you drove you insane, more than his teasing.
You were about to cry out when the words were taken right out of your mouth, the feeling of something filling you replaced them with a gasp.
Three fingers full, you kissed Jaehyun when he appeared hovering above you. His tongue swiped over yours and pushed it farther down as both the kiss and his fingers deepened. Jaehyun’s fingers found the familiar rough patch within your warm walls and pressed on it, almost making you bite down on his tongue.
“Fuck,” you mewled as your boyfriend repeatedly tapped the spot. “Jae— gonna cum.” Your brows furrowed as your face screwed up in pleasure.
Leaning down, Jaehyun nibbled at your ear, softly whispering dirty praises to you as his fingers moved roughly to aid you in reaching your high.
Your hips rolled as you rode out your orgasm, trying to hit every last feeling before he pulled out— and whining when he did earlier than you expected.
It wasn’t long until you were filled with something else, though. Jaehyun entered you and waited until you were comfortable to start moving.
The greedier Jaehyun got, the rougher he moved, pussy sucking him in and making him want to feel you deeper.
Sounds of skin against skin and your moans bounced off the walls of your room and Jaehyun’s head, urging him to move faster.
“You feel so good baby,” he rasped, enjoying the heat of your palm on the back of his neck as you gripped him for stability. “I’m gonna fuck you so full of my cum,” Jaehyun mumbled before groaning as you clenched at the thought. “Like that idea?” He smirked lazily. “Want me to fill you so full you get pregnant? You’re gonna look so fucking hot,”
The words spilled from his lips like water from a fountain and you wanted to swim in them. “Please Jaehyun, please, please, please.” You begged him over and over again, brain too fried to process anything he was saying. “I want your cum,”
And that was all he needed;
With a few more thrusts, you came, clinging to him like he was the only thing holding you down. Clenching around him as he rammed into you made his hips stutter and spill his cum into you— loving how your vice grip milked his cock.
“God, you’re so fucking full,” Jaehyun mumbled, slowly fucking his spilling seed back into you.
You gasped when he pulled out once again, but reached for him when he flopped down beside you. With his arm wrapped around you, the two of you breathed heavily- the post nut clarity finally hitting you.
“I didn’t even notice we’re still wearing shirts.” Jaehyun said, picking up the material that stuck to your damp skin. You laughed in response, tiredly bringing your hand under his own shirt and resting it against his abs. “You’re still on the pill right?” He asked.
“Would’ve made you pull out if I weren’t.” You replied with a sigh, tracing a pattern into his skin.
“You’re so smart.” He kissed the top of your head, snuggling you further into him.
“I know.” Jaehyun snorted as your response.
“Thank you for the gift.”
“I’m glad you liked them.”

Epic Movie (Re)Watch #239 - The Muppet Movie
Tumblr media
Spoilers Below
Have I seen it before: Yes
Did I like it then: Yes.
Do I remember it: Yes.
Did I see it in theaters: No.
Format: DVD
1) The prologue.
Tumblr media
How this film opens - with an assortment of Muppet characters getting together for a private viewing of The Muppet Movie - does well to establish tone. It’s pretty much the filmmakers telling the audience, “You don’t need to take this too seriously, it’s just a fun movie.” It reintroduces us to The Muppets who we know but in a way where this could be someone’s first Muppet film and you understand the role of each character. Not only that, but Kermit’s response to Robin’s question of if this is how the Muppets actually met enhances the meta tone.
Kermit: “Well it’s sort of approximately how it happened.”
2) “Rainbow Connection”
youtube
“Rainbow Connection” might be up there with “It’s Not Easy Being Green” as the song most associated with The Muppets, and there’s a reason for it. The song is timeless, fitting in during any era (much like the characters themselves). It is a beautiful, optimistic, and imaginative song that not only sets up Kermit’s character well but the theme of the film. It has that daydreamer element that The Muppets are essentially founded on. If you haven’t heard it before I recommend taking a listen.
3) When I was young I had no idea who all these celebrities were or that they were celebrities. Now that I’m older I can notice them in what I call “Cameo Watch!” Like this first cameo. CAMEO WATCH: Dom Deluise
Tumblr media
4) This film has an incredibly sharp wit to it shown through its dialogue, humor, and characters.
Dom Deluise: “I have lost my sense of direction.” Kermit: “Have you tried Harry Krishna?”
5) Kermit the Frog as a character.
Tumblr media
Okay, let me just say, it feels really weird to talk about The Muppets as characters. Because it’s hard to think of them as characters being written. They’re The Muppets! They’re Kermit and Fozzie and Ms. Piggy and they just are themselves. This mere challenge speaks wonders to the consistency of writing and performance given by the Muppeteers. Kermit for example: Kermit is totally unselfish. His entire motivation for going to Hollywood isn’t fame/fortune on its own but the opportunity to make, “millions of people happy.” He’s a pretty down to earth, reasonable frog who tags along with a bunch of nut cases and does his best to reign in the insanity. He’s lovable, he’s sharp, he’s funny, he’s Kermit the Frog. I don’t know what else to say.
6) With the film’s budget Jim Henson wanted to really push the limitations of puppeteering. One of the most difficult effects (whose deceptively simple appearance speaks well to the talent of the filmmakers) is Kermit the Frog riding a bike. I don’t even know how they did that.
Tumblr media
7) The El Sleazo Cafe is Kermit’s first stop on his road trip/odyssey of sorts. It’s an environment which A) he is not used to and B) kind of is his contrast. Yeah he’s from a dirty swamp but this is a different kind of dirty. This is mean people who like to fight, not Kermit. Seeing this frog out of water creates a nice energy to the scene and a first good stop on the film.
8) Cameo Watch: James Coburn, Madeline Kahn, Telly Salva, Carol Kane and Paul Williams all appear in the El Sleazo scene.
Tumblr media
9) I feel like sometimes I’m Kermit.
Kermit [about Fozzie]: “This guy's lost.” Waiter: “Maybe he should try Hare Krishna.” Kermit: “Good grief, it’s a running gag.”
10) Fozzie Bear.
Tumblr media
The Costello to Kermit’s Abbott, I struggle to talk about Fozzie in much the same way I did with Kermit. Because what is there to say? He’s a bit of a dork but a funny, good hearted/good natured one. He’s funny, his relationship with Kermit is one of the things that keeps the franchise going as strong as it does, I don’t know what else to say. He’s Fozzie Bear.
11) Something I will say it is a testament to these performers that each Muppet feels so naturally alive. You never look at any of them and think, “That’s a lifeless bit of felt.” Not only do the likes of Jim Henson, Frank Oz, Dave Goelz, and the other Muppeteers do well at creating an individual character but distinguishing characters. These performers are working as multiple characters in a production and while older audiences might recognize the similarities in voices you don’t look at Rowlf the Dog and think, “Yep, that’s Kermit,” or at Miss Piggy and think, “Yep, that’s Fozzie.” They’re legends and it’s no mystery why.
12) Doc Hopper is actually an excellent villain for The Muppets to face off against.
Tumblr media
The reason Doc Hopper is so effective is because he’s the total antithesis of The Muppets. He’s a greedy, conniving, insincere, manipulative sellout of a man. His dreams don’t involve making people happy they involve making himself rich and anything he can’t have he’ll destroy. Henson and crew - despite the success of The Muppets - were never doing anything because of the mainstream appeal. They had a ton of bizarre, unique, and wonderful flops under their belts (see: Labyrinth). It’s almost like Doc Hopper represents mainstream showbiz wanting them to sellout and the journey is about staying true to your dream. I love that.
13) “Movin’ Right Along”
youtube
There’s not really a bad song in the film (although there is one I really just hate but that doesn’t mean it’s bad per say, more on that later). Although none are as praised as “Rainbow Connection”, “Movin’ Right Along” is an excellent second number. It has the same amount of hope and optimism to it that infects the film, with the idea of progress and moving forward at the heart of it. It’s a great buddy song for Kermit and Fozzie, with the same amount of wit and heart that the film prides itself on.
13.1) I’d be remised if I didn’t mention two of my favorite gags in the film. The fork in the road…
Tumblr media
And a very special cameo.
Tumblr media
14) Not that he cares, but wouldn’t Doc Hopper using Kermit’s likeness on a billboard without his permission illegal?
Tumblr media
15) I’m a sucker for any movie that has a moment where a character reads the script for the movie.
Tumblr media
16) “Can You Picture That?”
youtube
In my opinion, this could possibly be the most underrated song in the Muppets’ musical canon. It stands up well against “Movin’ Right Along” and “Rainbow Connection” with its energy and positivity. Basically it’s a song about challenging your imagine and even though the lyrics can feel nonsensical that’s sort of the point. It’s about thinking of things, picturing unique things that might not make sense. But just because something doesn’t make sense doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do it.
17) And disguising the car worked for a grand total of 7 seconds.
Max [after being told to look out for a frog and a bear in a brown colored Studebaker]: “Gee Doc, all I see are a frog and a bear in a rainbow colored Studebaker.”
18) Gonzo the Great.
Tumblr media
It is like each character you meet in this film is increasingly crazy. Kermit, then Fozzie, then Dr. Teeth and his band, and now the personification of Muppet weirdness times ten: Gonzo! Gonzo is fun, funny, insane, and just perfectly random enough to give the group an extra oomph. There’s a chance this weirdo might be my favorite Muppet character! Maybe, maybe not. It’s hard to pick a favorite.
Tumblr media
(GIF originally posted by @nostalgicgifs)
19) Cameo Watch: Milton Berle.
Tumblr media
20) Cameo Watch: Elliott Gould.
Tumblr media
Okay, I thought I remembered all the cameos but I 100% forgot about Gould’s appearance. It actually made me jump.
21) Cameo Watch: Ed Bergen.
Tumblr media
This scene was shot shortly before the legendary puppeteer’s death in 1978. His appearance in the movie held particular weight for Jim Henson, as Bergen and his wooden sidekick (Charlie McCarthy) influenced his interest in puppetry. The film is dedicated in Bergen’s memory.
22) I low-key love that Miss Piggy wins a beauty pageant and no one really bats an eye at it. Take that conventional standards of feminine beauty!
Tumblr media
23) “Never Before, Never Again”
Tumblr media
God I hate this song. I usually skip it. It’s just so awkward and uncomfortable for me to watch, but I think that’s the point. I think it’s supposed to be funny, Frank Oz singing this sweeping love ballad as Miss Piggy. And it taking itself seriously is part of the joke but it is part of that seriousness which makes me hate it. I actually wrote in my notes, “Wake me when it’s over.” I think it’s objectively a good song and good part of the film, I just flat out don’t like it. The one weak link for me in this excellent picture.
24) Wait, is Ms. Piggy meant to be the Yoko Ono of The Muppets in this movie?
Tumblr media
25) Cameo Watch: Bob Hope and Richard Pryor both show up at the county fair.
Tumblr media
26) The scene where The Muppets chase down Gonzo on his balloons is a fun bit of fast pacing “action” to add to the film. It’s hard for a Muppet movie to have non-musical related set pieces but the balloon chase feels appropriately Muppety while being different enough to add some variety to the story.
27) Miss Piggy.
Tumblr media
Miss Piggy is such a larger than life character and perhaps the character with the most to do in the series. She is a diva with aspirations of being famous, but she also knows characters and any time The Muppets need a fight scene they bring in Miss Piggy! As mentioned above, Frank Oz does a great job not only breathing life into the character but making her so different from Fozzie.
28) Cameo Watch: Steven Martin.
Tumblr media
Steve Martin might do the most with his cameo. He is an over the top frustrated waiter, something anyone who’s ever worked in food service can relate to. Steve Martin is pretty much great in anything though.
29) The dinner date between Kermit and Miss Piggy is actually really nice, makes me understand why they date.
30) Rowlf the Dog.
Tumblr media
Possibly the most interesting thing about Rowlf is how people have noted his personality matches Jim Henson’s the closest out of all of Henson’s characters. In recognition of this, Rowl didn’t speak in his film appearances for a while after Henson passed away. He’s a fun character already, but I think this detail adds a nice layer of heart to it.
31) “I Hope That Something Better Comes Along”
youtube
In typical Muppet fashion, something as relatable and common as heartache is turned into an upbeat bar tune. It’s one of the nicest songs in the film and a real ear worm. It is also essentially Jim Henson singing with himself so take a moment to let that set in.
32) Cameo Watch: Mel Brooks.
Tumblr media
Okay, Mel Brooks might do the most with HIS cameo. Brooks commits to the comedy and insanity of the performance just as he would in any of his own films (Blazing Saddles, Spaceballs) and it really adds a shot of energy to the scene. Brooks is so active, he does so many little things to add to his character/performance/comedy. I wonder how much of it was improv.
33) So I feel like the filmmakers didn’t know how to get from Miss Piggy ditching Kermit for a gig to Miss Piggy rejoining the group on the road, so they literally decided to stop the movie and let the audience breathe for a moment. I love that.
Tumblr media
34) “I’m Going To Go Back There Someday”
youtube
This is such a beautiful and bittersweet melody. It comes at the film’s low point, when the group thinks their dreams are done for. But the song is just so lovely it makes my heart warm. The lyrics are wonderful and I think it’s an amazing ballad. I love it.
35) Life lessons from Kermit the Frog.
Kermit: “I can’t spend my whole life running away from a bully.”
36) Oh quick, the film is almost over! Let’s get Bunsen and Beaker in at the end!
Tumblr media
37) Kermit’s heartfelt plea, of choosing happiness over money and finding family/friends, is great. But Doc Hopper’s response to it is so sad.
Kermit: “If what I'm saying doesn't make any sense, well then... go ahead and kill me.” Doc Hopper [after a moment to think, reluctantly]: “All right boys. Kill him.”
38) Deus Ex Animal.
Tumblr media
39) Cameo Watch: Cloris Leachmen.
Tumblr media
40) Cameo Watch: Orson Welles.
Tumblr media
Welles’ character’s name Lew Lord is actually a reference to real-life Producer Sir Lew Grade. When Jim Henson was trying to find a producer to make The Muppet Show, no American network was interested in the concept. Grade recognized the potential in the idea and helped make the show happen.
Tumblr media
41) Ah, if only it were this easy.
Lew Lord: “Prepare the standard ‘Rich & Famous’ contract.”
42) The finale of this film, “Magic Store,” is a fun final number. It shows The Muppets have made it, they’re doing what they love. It’s the culmination of everything up to this point and even when things don’t go as they plan they’ll roll with it. And we’re given a great final message.
Kermit: “Life’s like a movie, write your own ending…” Muppets: “Keep believing, keep pretending; we've done just what we've set out to do, thanks to the lovers, the dreamers, and you!”
The Muppet Movie might still very well be the best film to feature the classic characters. It has their trademark heart, humor, and imagination all in top form. You can watch it at any time, it ages very well. So whether it’s your first or last time putting it in, I’d say give The Muppet Movie a watch.

Player Development, Six-Pack Abs, and Coconut Oil: What You Need to Know About Gabe Kapler
The Phillies will announce the hiring of 42-year-old Gabe Kapler sometime soon, according to multiple reports. You’ve surely heard by now that Kapler is a new school, data-oriented, sports nutrition nut, who is unafraid to take an unconventional approach to his craft.
I like it. What could possibly go wrong?
Ryan Lawrence of Philly Voice recently dug up this little gem from an old blog post written two years ago by Kapler regarding leadership:
Caring too much about what others think of you stifles your ability to take risks. That football coach has to decide between being popular and winning more games. If you want to be average, continue doing what everyone else does. Being better than the pack requires doing something different.
Christ. Tell me that doesn’t sound familiar.
Obviously, only time will tell if Kapler’s hire by a front office with an obsessive dedication to a new era philosophy that relies heavily upon advanced metrics and data will prove to be wise. It’s likely you’ll read some criticism of the move written by old-timey baseball writers, while young, progressive media types will be tucking quarter-chubs as they hail the hire as “revolutionary” and a slam-dunk for the Phillies. The truth is, nobody knows how this will play out, but here’s what I do know—the stories are going to write themselves with this guy. I’m feeling #blessed.
Without further ado, here is what you need to know about Kapler:
I’m Pretty Sure He Is Insane
Kapler is all about striving to achieve peak performance, but maybe not the kind you’re thinking of. Here’s Kapler on gaining, uh, strength:
If you want to be your strongest, get some sun on your boys. And by boys, I mean your testicles.
Tan your balls = Vitamin D = increased Testosterone = strengthening your pipe.
And once you have achieved that strength, here’s how you maximize that strength:
You’re moisturized and smelling tropical, your teeth are white and your face looks like you’ve just visited a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon. The sun has set, and the moon is out. Perhaps you have a friend nearby, perhaps it’s just you by your lonesome…well, this is awkward. I’ve promised you authenticity, honesty and openness. Take this how you wish and I’ll spare you the step by step. Coconut oil is the world’s greatest lubricant. I can’t help where your mind goes with this. Once the ball leaves the bat, I can’t steer it.
This is some fantastic, revolutionary shit. I can’t get enough of it. Color me impressed.
He’s Hot
Kyle got into some sports erotica earlier. All I’m going to say is that I don’t know where this photo was taken, or why. Initially, I felt shameful inferiority for not being the man Kapler is, but more than anything, this photo makes me want to go horseback riding with him. I want him to keep me safe at night.
Kapler’s Player Development Background Likely Got Him the Job
It’s true that Kapler hit .268 over 12 seasons for six different Major League teams, but this isn’t the typical “middling ex-player grinds his way through the minors and gets a shot” story.
Kapler only managed for one season in the minors, so his in-game skills and strategic philosophies are a huge unknown. Still, Kapler has an intriguing and diverse baseball background that goes beyond playing experience. He worked as a writer for Baseball Prospectus, the definitive baseball nerd publication, and as an analyst for Fox Sports. Most notably, Kapler was hired by the Dodgers three years ago to oversee the organization’s player development program after he was passed over by management in favor of Dave Roberts for the managerial position. The Dodgers, a team loaded with young talent that has made an immediate impact, are two wins away from a title. Surely, the Phillies believe Kapler is the guy who can best maximize the impact of the Phillies’ own highly-touted prospects.
Kapler is Klentak; Klentak is Kapler
You know what teams don’t want? They don’t want a pissed off manager barking at the front office about personnel and they don’t want philosophical differences between the dugout and the front office. They want cohesion and accord. It doesn’t take a great deal of investigation to conclude that General Manager Matt Klentak and President of Baseball Operations Andy MacPhail both view Kapler as a guy who can turnkey to the players the tenants of this front office. The Phillies have worked extensively and have invested a great deal of money in the analytics department. I thought this 2013 Baseball Prospectus article written by Kapler was interesting, particularly this:
Somebody has to be the foundation, the bottom of the pyramid. Enter the intern.
Remove the bias you’ve accumulated from years of watching the coffee-fetching TV caricatures of entry-level workers. Those personalities don’t have the pedigree earned by these squirts. MLB interns can come armed with degrees from Ivy League schools and often have completed additional years at prestigious business institutions like Chicago Booth and the London School of Economics. In most cases, they turned down high-paying job offers from major corporations like Wal-Mart (woo-hoo!) to pursue careers in baseball.
It’s likely that Kapler’s understanding and appreciation for an intellectually diverse front office is something the team noted in its evaluation process.
Now, theoretically, all of this sounds terrific, but there are plenty of questions to be answered. Will the players like Kapler? How will he handle adversity? What’s he going to do when Odubel Herrera forgets how many outs there are and does something impossibly stupid? Those are the unknown variables, ones that will ultimately determine his success here in Philadelphia.
For now? This, at the very least, leaves us with plenty to discuss.
