#pet care app design

[shepherdfeathers]

Work in progress design for my pet care simulation app!

My game will be a cozy, ambience based idle game where you take care of a strange creature in a medieval inspired setting. It will feature extensive interactions with your pet, cute animations, and flexible customization for your pet and home!

Should it have a garden? NPCs? What should the pet sound like? You decide!

Uncover the secrets of the world you find yourself in, everything might not be as cute and harmless as it first seems…

If you want to help me design the perfect domestic life simulator, please take my survey! I also have a discord server.

ACT 1, SCENE 4: blue lock headcanons

shidou would view traditionally ugly creatures as strangely cute. it's not a disgusting cockroach, it's a silly little bug with eyelashes as long as his. no, he's not going to let go of that scraggly one-eyed cat that likely has rabies. it looks too sweet to be abandoned on the streets. his dream childhood pet was definitely a piranha.

aiku wears band t-shirts without knowing the actual music group. no, he does not listen to sex and the pistols, he just thought the design looked very cool. would also wear lana del rey merchandise just to impress the ladies. the only song he realistically knows is west coast, and even then he's only heard it at a random sushi restaurant.

reo would have stereotypical rich people problems. he can't decide if he should bring his chauffeur and valet or actually drive the car himself for your upcoming date. also spends at least one hour seriously pondering over which gucci silk pattern tie looks better on him. trick question, they're both the exact same shade.

shidou steals your covergirl perfect point eyeliner because he thinks it looks way better on him. also a big fan of body glitter and super vulgar eyeshadow palette names. his favorite hue so far is that one hot pink fuchsia that literally burns your eyes with its brightness. nothing is too neon with this man.

ness is the epitome of the sunshine-turned-unhinged-maniacal-killer trope. he would be the bestest boy, but if someone even lays a single hand on you, he’s already plotting their murder. eerily good at hiding bodies but would never divulge his secrets in fear of scaring you off.

shidou would walk unashamedly to the women’s clothing section of the general department store. would never be embarrassed by the bra sizes. you have a double D? he’s already trying three of the cup sizes on just to see if he can get you a comfortable one. if you’re part of the itty bitty titty committee, he wouldn’t judge either. this man loves femininity in all its full glory.

aryu exclusively uses dior beauty. he would rather die than use a generic drugstore makeup brand. sometimes you wonder if he's secretly a dermatologist because this man knows the exact shade, tint, and quality of product for every possible skin tone and type. also very passionate about the controversies behind animal testing and parabens. would be exceedingly picky when it comes to anything he smears on his face (think jeffree star but without the problematic issues.)

sae has his phone screen set to default wallpaper. he only has the translator app downloaded, and that's about it. his personal trainer takes care of all the rest of his stats. after he started dating you though, he kept pictures of you in his private photo albums.

noa cannot tell a white lie to save his life. if he doesn't know something, he will not know something. he doesn't see the point in hiding that. sometimes has trouble reading the room, so you need to remind him that brutal honesty and pure rationality aren't always the way to go. he does become more conscientious after that.

bachira used to draw crayon portraits of all the imaginary monsters he saw at night. scared the shit out of his parents because they thought he was hallucinating (he actually was.) nowadays, he's a lot tamer because you force him to take his meds.

isagi is, in fact, the number one mind reader and manipulator throughout the entire series. this man is clairvoyant, psychic, and telepathic all packaged into one. sometimes his right ear twitches, and he just knows someone is talking about him behind his back. unfortunately, all of this occurs in his head, so no one on the outside world actually knows about his sixth sense.

rin was absolutely bombarded with valentine's chocolates last year, but when he sorted through the entire pile and realized you hadn't given him one, he returned them all to their respective senders. will refuse any form of sweets unless it came directly from you. you need to be there physically to hand him the box.

kaiser writes, thinks, and speaks entirely in german even if no one else can understand him. he secretly can speak english but chooses not to because he absolutely hates anglicization. refuses to compromise his own language and culture just to fit in with the rest of the world. it's degrading. if he had it his way, german would be the new lingua franca. definitely thinks translation is for dummies. what do you mean you're not already bilingual? you better run, not walk, to that little green owl app. does use his foreign accent to make you feel flustered though. has a voice kink but in a non-traditional sort of way. you have to be the one turned on by his voice. only then will he start feeling it.

yukimiya loves it when you lose your shit. one time a jerk cut you off in traffic, and you started aggressively cursing. he fell in love with you right there on the spot. it was something about the fire in your eyes and the way you refused to take any attitude from the other party. that self-assertiveness you exhibit is so empowering.

aiku takes you out to karaoke bars just to hear you sing. you look so pretty under the purple disco lights, belting your little heart out to the rock lyrics. sometimes he has to take a minute to just appreciate how lucky he is to have you.

nagi didn't know that you have to actively check and update your email inbox. he had no clue school even started until one day the principal called his parents over his thirteen student absences. he thinks it's a headache to even get out of bed and put his fingers on his laptop keyboard. since when was the distance between his arrow cursor and the search bar that wide? it looks too long for him to reach. maybe he should just do this tomorrow.

reo does not know what saving money is. the first time you asked him for a promo code, he looked at you as if you had just spouted a strange language. when you showed him your little wallet full of cut-out coupons, he literally had to hold them up to the light and closely inspect them. it was definitely a moment of enlightenment.

sae likes anklets, especially the super thin gold chain ones. something about the way it brushes against his bare leg when you sleep beside him drives him out of his mind. he's also a sucker for subtle jewelry as evidenced by his necklace and wrist bands.

otoya practically lives for instant gratification. he would be guilty of love bombing. loses interest quickly, but sometimes wishes he could actually commit for once. football is important to him because it is one of the only activities he has consistently practiced for over a decade.

karasu is down bad for anyone who can actually outsmart him. you got a higher mark than him on the recent exam? damn, his heart just beat a little faster. spaces out in a love-filled haze whenever you ramble on about your nerdy little subject interests. he is a sapiophile through and through. intelligence just does it for him.

loki is the type of person who absolutely demolishes your self-esteem, and yet you still cannot bring yourself to hate him. when people say god has his favorites, they mean this man right here. he would be an innately talented genius while simultaneously being the most humble human being in existence. at this point, it's not his problem. it's a you problem. try harder next time.

chris is very similar to a neurosurgery resident. he has the largest self-entitled ego in existence. not a single day goes by when he doesn't remind you that he is, in fact, one of the highest ranking football players in the world. you can't say anything about it though because he has rightfully earned his arrogance. i mean, what are you going to use against him? his grueling hours of blood, sweat, and tears? this man works harder than the devil himself. in fact, he is the devil.

rin is the type to get emotionally attached to the most ordinary objects ever. he collects batteries and keeps a separate drawer as a graveyard for them once they die. the triple A ones get a special funeral since they're so hard to find. he just can't bring himself to let go of objects that no longer serve a purpose (just like his relationship with sae, sorry not sorry.)

hiori cannot go to bed unless it is absolutely dark. the curtains have to be closed. the door has to be locked. everything has to be drowned in pitch black. the reason he does this is because he still has flashbacks from that tiny strip of light underneath his bedroom door. his parents would argue all night when they thought he had gone to sleep. it still haunts him to this very day.

nagi wishes he could be a cat. sleeping all day and sunbathing on the rooftop seem like great ways to spend his life. unfortunately for him, he is not a cat. when he dies though, he wants to be reincarnated as one. either that, or a rock.

rin snores like a whole power drill at night. sae secretly hates his brother for that but can’t bring himself to wake him. whenever the itoshi family goes on vacation, ear plugs are not an option but a necessity.

chigiri knows ventriloquism. he used to play with his sister's dolls and make up character voices for each of them. definitely uses it as a party trick or as a way to make you laugh when you've had a bad day.

sae always keeps his feelings to himself. sometimes he finds it easier to rant to you than others, but then he almost always ends up retracting back into himself after realizing just how much he's revealed. he hates being emotionally slutty.

ness is the big scary dog in his relationship with kaiser, not the other way around. everyone thinks kaiser is the intimidating one, but ness wears a leash for a reason. one of them is the chihuahua, and the other one is a rottweiler. you can already guess who is who.

reo was having a mental breakdown in his limousine one time, but he ran out of his usual luxury aloe vera lotion tissues. instead of buying more, he took out his cheque-book and ripped out the pages to dry his tears. money is just paper to him. it can be recycled (no, it can't.)

loki is the type to show you a sweet and heartwarming smile before pulling out the most atrocious uno card combination in existence. i'm talking reverse, wild card, skip, draw 2. you sat there for twenty-five minutes trying desperately to draw a green. by the time you were done, he only had one card left. (screw you, loki.)

niko draws his own manga whenever he doesn't like how the official plot ends. if the canon ever diverges from the way he imagined it in his own head, he will draft his own fan fiction instead. one time, he rewrote an entire shonen jump series just to bring his favorite character back to life (*cough cough* said character wears a blindfold.)

karasu is definitely the "um, actually..." type of student. he will always have a rebuttal on hand. the truth is never black-and-white with this man, and he will argue both sides if it furthers his own agenda. he reads the encyclopedia front and back every night just so he can pull out a random arbitrary fact to win an argument some time in the near future.

shidou had a bad habit of chewing pens as a child until one day it finally exploded in his mouth. from then on, he vowed only to chew glittery gel pens. that way when it exploded in his mouth, his tongue would be stained a bright, shimmery purple. if you ever got him a scented gel pen pack, his life would finally be complete.

rin cannot differentiate between colors. if you asked him to find the difference between bubblegum pink and cotton candy pink, he would not know. to him, seven colors is already a lot to memorize. when he was a child, he only drew pictures with a single color because it was less of a hassle that way.

otoya used to think lime green was the most aesthetically pleasing color in existence. almost considered dying his hair that shade until karasu told him that girls don't actually like guys who look like neon highlighters. still wishes he did it though. he wants to glow in the dark.

“𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐝𝐚𝐲”

— : [nsfw] arranged marriage, loss of virginity, virginity kink, unprotected sex, praise kink + pet names

— wc : 4.8k

it’s an auspicious date for the ideal wedding. as ideal as a wedding can be for someone who wasn’t in the loop until a week ago. she had never dreamed of getting married, it was all too much for her but she knew her place.

her parents are far too secretive about everything and she’s only been told that the man she’ll be marrying is someone of high status.

she’s was not surprised in the least, considering her parents cared more for their status and money than they did about her wellbeing. she wonders what she would’ve done without saeko tanaka, a lovely maid servant her parents had hired when she was barely a teen and saeko had finished high school.

“dear, you know your place in society, don’t you?” her mother smiles but that smile has never reached the old woman’s eyes and it left her feeling uncomfortable.

she sometimes wondered if her parents would be more proud of her if she was a boy. she was smart and ambitious and had already graduated university with her degree but it was never enough for them.

greed was an ugly demon, always lurking close by.

“first we bow to the heavens and the earth, darling”

she woke up with a loud gasp. the air around her felt cold and damp despite it being much warmer these last few nights.

it sounded like something had whispered to her but she supposed anyone would be jumpy, preparing for a wedding they didn’t want to be apart of.

her friends were right, it was ridiculous to agree to marry someone she didn’t even know. they wouldn’t even tell her his name.

“the age of social media” her father rolled his eyes, “i don’t need you going around making a mockery of this family on that ridiculous x app you like to be on”

what about what she wanted? she knew that none of that mattered to her parents anyway so it was pointless arguing and running away would create bigger problems.

there was no way she’d be able to fall back asleep and she knew that if she tried to sneak down to saeko’s room, there was a chance she’d run into her father since he was always up in his study and she was too angry to talk to any of her parents.

“it was just a dream” saeko says, helping her prepare breakfast, “don’t read too much into it”

she did have a had habit of being a superstitious but for days she’d been having strange dreams and then she finds out she’s engaged? it felt like a warning of some sort.

“i just don’t understand why they can’t tell me anything about him” she groans, “what difference does it make? i’ll still have to marry him”

“maybe he’s a politician” saeko offers which doesn’t help ease the nerves at all. she never imagined being married to anyone that important, let alone a politician.

she wouldn’t put it past her parents though, since it would make them look good in the eyes of the public. attorney general’s daughter marrying into a prestigious family and she can only imagine the people flocking to her mothers design company.

she felt like a pawn to them.

“a red veil is compulsory dear, you know how important this is for your father and i” her mother sighs, “don’t make this difficult for yourself”

“what does he do?” she asks, “the man i’m supposed to marry”

“why does it matter?” her mother rolls her eyes, forcing her to stand upright as her measurements are being taken, “he’s very important and it won’t do us any good if you upset him”

“i feel like a doll” y/n frowns, “it’s too tight”

“you are a doll” her mother cups her cheek, “the prettiest of them all and you’ll be the perfect bride”

and the perfect sacrifice

“tonight, you’ll wear white” her mother instructs, “it’s important that you look your best”

“what’s wrong with what i have on?” she frowns

“don’t be silly” her mother scoffs, “i had the maids prepare your dress and shoes and saeko will help with your hair”

reaching into her bag, she produces a beautiful black box with gold phoenixes decorating it.

“a gift, from your betrothed” her smile is genuine this time and y/n knows it’s because she cares more about the expensive piece of jewellery.

the gold chain is thin and dainty and y/n can see the tiny center piece is the “grooms” family crest. she’s heard about these kinds of traditions and she doesn’t bother fighting when her mother insists on putting it on for her.

binding.

“how beautiful” her mother sighs but her eyes are on the center piece and once again, y/n feels like nothing more than a pawn.

she would never consider herself to be superficial, she knew real beauty was skin deep but she couldn’t help the small gasp when her walked into their large dining room.

he was so tall and pale, the moles on his face making his beautiful face stand out that much more. he didn’t smile and he didn’t seem interested in shaking hands with anyone, keeping a distance from her parents as his driver and assistant, stood nearby.

their eyes met a few times and y/n felt a cold shiver run down her back. his eyes were like two beautiful black holes, way too dangerous to keep looking or you’d surely get lost forever.

for a moment, it felt like the chain around her neck burned into her skin and she winced, looking back down at her hands in her lap.

“master wants to speak with you alone”

she looks up to see the man that had arrived with her .. fiancé.

“there’s no need to worry, i’m atsumu” atsumu smiles gently, “he’s in the garden”

she nods and follows him into the backyard. it’s the one place she can truly call her own since her parents never cared about it.

“there you are” kiyoomi says and his voice is rich and deep, causing a pleasant shiver to run down her spine. it’s different being this close to him and she’s a little surprised when he reaches for her hand and it’s cold to the touch.

“there’s no need to be so shy around me” he tells her, “we’re going to be married soon”

“… right” she says because she wasn’t sure what she was supposed to say. it helped that he was charming and he smelled like fresh lotus flowers.

“you’ll have a garden, just like this” kiyoomi says, “you take care of these flowers no?”

“i do” she smiles, “it’s my garden”

“you can plant whatever you want” he grins, “you’ll have all the free time to do everything you like”

as long as you never leave.

“iI think my mother would’ve loved you” kiyoomi says as he watches her pour him his tea, “she liked gardening too”

“oh.. i’m sorry” y/n says awkwardly

“it’s alright” he says, “it’s been years since i lost my parents, it’s an old wound”

does that mean he chose to marry her on his own? she didn’t understand what was going on. she also didn’t know how he even met her father and what exactly did he do for a living.

the next week felt like a blur, with having to get more measurements done, to having an official dinner as a family. they weren’t even married yet but the news spread fast that y/n, daughter of the attorney general, was finally going to be betrothed.

everyone in the city seemed to be excited for the grand wedding. smaller cities meant that everyone knew each other and she couldn’t even go out with friends without people congratulating her and some people looked as though they felt sorry for her.

an elderly lady at the café she frequented couldn’t even look at her without becoming teary eyed.

“i’m not going to stop coming here” y/n tries to make it lighthearted, “i’ve been coming here since high school”

“oh sweetheart” the elderly lady shook her head but before she could speak further, her husband pulled her away from their table.

“what was that about?” keiji asks

“it’s an old people thing” maki rolls his eyes, “don’t pay them any mind y/n”

y/n tried to ignore the uneasy feeling she felt for the rest of the day. it felt like the lady had more to say but her husband stopped her before she could say anything.

was kiyoomi really someone that well known? she had never really seen or heard of him before and that made her even more confused because the city wasn’t that big.

everyone knew everyone.

“there you are!” her father exclaims and she resists the urge to roll her eyes at him.

“kiyoomi thinks it’s important that you two get to know each other before the wedding” her father says and she can hear, in his tone, that there’s no room for arguments.

“will he come here?” she asks and her father shakes his head.

“he’s sending atsumu to pick you up tomorrow morning” he holds her hand, “you’ll spend some time with him so pack a bag”

she widens her eyes at that. her parents had always been strict about dating so why would they be so comfortable to let her stay at a man’s house she barely knew? a man she was engaged to.

“and keep the chain on at all times” he reminds her as she stands, “it’s important to him”

what about me?

“we’re very proud of you” her father says, “you’re very important to us”

she tries not to cry because that’s the first time he’s ever said that to her. she can’t even bring herself to hate him because after all, he was her father.

she wasn’t sure what she was expecting but his house is much bigger than hers and much more .. haunting. it must’ve been around in his family for many years despite being in perfect condition.

“come, atsumu will have them put your things in your room” kiyoomi takes her hand, “let me show you around”

“is this—”

“i told you” he pulls her into the huge garden in the back, “you can plant whatever you want here”

“it’s beautiful” y/n smiles, allowing herself to feel just a little bit happier. at least she’d be away from her parents for a few days.

“it’s yours” he tells her, “or rather, it will be”

and you’ll belong to me.

when keiji comes by the next day, he’s also shocked at how big the house is but it feels empty, almost like the walls whisper to you when you’re alone.

“the old lady was at the store earlier” keiji says, “she was so worried about you”

“about me?” y/n frowns, “what did she say?”

“she was talking so fast but she mentioned something about an old village nearby and sacrifices”

“oh” y/n laughs, “maybe she’s paranoid because i haven’t stopped by lately?”

“could be” he shrugs, looking around the large room y/n was staying in. “her husband told me to just ignore her so i didn’t say much else”

“ah, i see” y/n nods

she doesn’t mention the weird dreams she’s still having because she knows it’s because she’s just been overwhelmed lately and while saeko did go back home to fetch a few things, she knew she’d be back.

y/n still felt too nervous around kiyoomi even though he was putting in a lot of effort to make her feel comfortable.

“how is he?” keiji asks after a moment, “do you get along?”

“he’s great” y/n sighs, “almost too perfect, it doesn’t feel real”

“do you want to get to know him too?” he asks and she nods. she could admit that she was just a bit curious about him.

“i.. like talking to him” y/n says, “he listens and he’s patient because it’s obvious i’m still on edge”

“when is the wedding supposed to be?” keiji asks

“a week from now” y/n laughs bitterly, “my father picked the date”

“god he’s so—”

“don’t” y/n sighs, “it’s fine, i’m still getting used to the idea, that’s all”

“it’s still unfair” keiji sighs but he knows to back off.

a knock on the door startles them both and y/n feels that chill from before when kiyoomi opens the door to lean against the frame.

“you’re still here” he says and y/n nods.

“oh, this is keiji” y/n smiles, “keiji, this is kiyoomi”

“nice to meet you” keiji says and kiyoomi nods in acknowledgement.

she notices the mood change when keiji leaves. kiyoomi is already very quiet but it feels different that she feels the need to explain.

“he’s been my best friend since high school” y/n says, “he got married last year to his husband”

kiyoomi looks taken aback before he smiles again, standing to his full height.

“shall we have dinner?” he asks and she nods, smiling awkwardly.

was he already jealous?

“you’re the one i’ve been waiting for, you can never leave me. i’ve waited long enough for you to finally come to me and now that you’re here, i can never let you go.

sleep well, darling”

she wakes up gasping, sitting straight up in bed. the room is dimly lit since she had fallen asleep while reading.

she couldn’t really see anything or anyone in the recent dreams but it felt so real, like she was being pulled into the darkness just before she’d wake up, gasping for air.

“am i losing my mind?”

the conversation with keiji comes back to her and she can’t shake the feeling that something is going to happen. did people experience this before their weddings?

is this what cold feet was?

she shook her head and snuck downstairs to get a drink. she needed to clear her mind and reading was starting to make her overthink everything.

“can’t sleep?” atsumu asks. he’s sitting outside in the garden as she steps outside and she nods, holding her warm cup of tea close to her chest.

“is kiyoomi home?” she asks, sitting on the porch beside him. the garden was her favourite part of the entire place and she found herself playing with her chain as she stared out into the night.

“he’s in his study” atsumu smiles, “he’d love it if you joined him in there”

“wouldn’t i be disturbing his work?” she asks but atsumu chuckles.

“he has a personal library” atsumu adds, “master says he’s seen you reading a lot”

“ah yeah” y/n smiles, “i think i’ll go inside”

“goodnight” atsumu bids her farewell and she smiles.

that’s right, come to me darling.

she knocks gently and he calls for her to entire. she opens the door slowly and her eyes widen at how big his study is.

he looks beautiful even in the low light. glasses suit him and his smile made her feel warm inside. she didn’t feel so uneasy when he was around.

“oh, this is a pleasant surprise” he grins, “is something wrong?”

“i just couldn’t sleep” y/n admits, closing the door behind her, “am i interrupting?”

“of course not” he shakes his head immediately, “you can sit with me whenever you want darling, would you like a book to read?”

she smiles then and walks further into the study and towards the large bookcases.

“you’re more than welcome to come in here whenever you want” kiyoomi hands her a throw blanket as she makes herself comfortable on the couch. “after all, what’s mine is yours”

he watches her closely as her eyes begin to droop and he wants nothing more than to reach out and hold her but he knows he runs cold and it would be a while before she got used to his touch.

“so beautiful, even when you sleep” he sighs, “do you know how much i’ve wanted you?”

there have been others but none as beautiful as you are. i didn’t keep them either but their fates were already decided when the village elders sent out their names.

i can still hear the song of the brides as they were each carried on their sedans, brought into the cold forest and left there.

this way, is easier. i got to choose my bride and this time, i intend to keep you.

“what are your thoughts on having children?” kiyoomi asks. they’ve spent the morning sending out their wedding invitations and y/n would be going home until the wedding day.

“oh” y/n shrugs awkwardly, “i’ve never really thought about it and i’m not sure if i want to have any”

“i see” he smiles, “then we won’t have any if you don’t want to”

i would never have to share you with anyone ever again. you’ll only be with me.

y/n smiles up at him as he stands to get ready for work. he kisses the top of head, something he’s doing since the first morning they had breakfast together and she finds that she doesn’t mind.

she isn’t sure she wants to go back home but she knows she has to because it’s not appropriate for them to be so domestic before their actual wedding day.

“wait for me tonight and i’ll take you home” he says, “you can spend the day in the garden if you like or the study”

“thank you” she finds herself saying and he grins down at her.

“there’s no need to thank me” he cups her face gently, “i’m just happy to see you smiling”

she ignores the way that makes her feel, the butterflies in her stomach feel like a a tornado and she hates how disappointed she feels when he lets go and walks towards his study to get his work files.

you see it too, don’t you my love? you can’t be without me either.

“you don’t seem happy to be home” saeko grins, “do you miss the garden or kiyoomi?”

“oh, he’s no longer master?” y/n asks and saeko flicks her forehead.

“don’t try and change the subject” saeko says dryly, “do you miss him already?”

“.. maybe” she shrugs, reaching up to play with her chain, “it’s silly, i barely know him”

“does that matter?” saeko asks, “i haven’t seen you that happy and comfortable when you’re here”

y/n couldn’t argue with that. she felt free when she was with kiyoomi because he didn’t suffocate her and he was happy to just be in her presence without expecting anything in return.

“you’ll be with him forever after the wedding” saeko grins, “maybe you’ll have a child”

“he seems content to just have me” y/n looks down, suddenly feeling shy, “he said we don’t have to have any if i don’t want to”

“bare minimum but he’s a keeper” saeko says, “i’m excited for you now that you seem happier about the wedding and everything”

“i think he’ll make me happy” y/n smiles, “and i won’t have to see my parents as often”

good girl, you’ll only ever need me.

the room was cold, very cold and when she reached out to turn the lights on, it wouldn’t work. she could hear the faint sounds of a piano playing and the low humming of a man, a man that sounded so similar to kiyoomi that she couldn’t help but call out to him.

“kiyoomi?” she croaks out, her throat sore and scratchy. she couldn’t really recognise her surroundings but the scene before her caused her to scream and fall backwards.

there were people dressed in black, crying softly as the picture of kiyoomi sat in the middle of the room.

it was a funeral.

his funeral.

her screams are so loud that it wakes saeko up in the other room. she had stayed upstairs with y/n instead of heading into the servants quarters where the parents expected her to stay.

“y/n, wake up it’s just a dream” saeko gently shakes her shoulders, turning the bedside lamp on, “hey, it’s okay, you’re okay”

y/n can’t really think straight, still struggling to catch her breath as she wraps her arms tightly around saeko. she knows she shaking but she squeezes her eyes shut and tries to match her breathing with saeko’s.

“what was that?” saeko whispers, “you’ve never had nightmares before”

“i.. i don’t know” y/n chokes out, “it was just so cold”

“do you .. want to talk about it?” saeko asks gently, patting her head to help her relax.

“it was his funeral” y/n says softly, “like i could hear him humming softly but when i got closer to his study, the room changed and .. it was his funeral”

“it’s alright” saeko holds her tighter, “it was just a dream, he’s alright and so are you”

it just felt so real that y/n didn’t fall asleep again when saeko left. she said she’d be okay but she couldn’t get the image out her head no matter what she tried to do.

you see why you can’t leave me?

she doesn’t know why she tweets about it but everyone seems to think it’s normal and the amount of people praising sakusa makes her feel better. it was clear people knew who he was and he was obviously well liked.

it wasn’t like she was worried about any of that, she just didn’t like the dreams.

her phone ringing caused her to almost drop it.

“hello?” she says softly. she didn’t want to be too loud since it was way too early in the morning.

“darling, why didn’t you tell me you were having a hard time?”

“i.. i wasn’t sure how to talk about it” she sighs, “it’s never happened before so i must really be nervous. i didn’t want anyone to worry”

“i’d worry about you anyway”

“could you maybe.. come see me later?” she asks, “i know the wedding is in 2 days but i want—”

“of course” he says, “i’ll be there in an hour”

“isn’t it too early? you have to work” she frowns, glancing at her bedside clock, it read 5:56 am.

“i’m never too busy for you, wait for me”

“okay” she smiles, already feeling better.

when she opens the door to find him standing there, her body moves before she can think about it and she wraps her arms around his neck, pulling him down to hold him close.

“oh..” he grins, pulling her flush against him, “this is a lovely surprise”

“i just missed you” she mumbles but he still hears it loud and clear and he smiles, kissing the side of her head.

“i missed you too” he whispers, “do you want me to lay down with you?”

she nods. it was far too early to be awake and her parents would soon be getting up for their day and she didn’t want to see them right now.

closing the door quietly, she takes his hand and leads him up to her bedroom. the lamp is still on since the curtains are closed and the room feels cozy now that he’s with her.

he doesn’t wait for her to move closer, wrapping an arm around her, he pulls her against his chest.

“you could’ve slept like this with me at home” he chuckles, closing his eyes as he listens to her breathing.

“we only just met” she frowns, “i felt like this was overstepping but my dream really scared me”

“what happened?” he asks

“you were dead” she whispers, holding onto the back of his sweater tightly, “it was your funeral and there were people crying and everything felt so cold and scary that it was almost suffocating”

“look at me” he says and moves her back just a little. he cups the side of her face and forces her to look at him.

“kiyo—”

“i’m not going anywhere” he tells her, “it feels like i’ve waited lifetimes just to be with you”

she sniffs as wipes her eyes.

“i won’t ever leave your side” he promises, “you’ll never have to worry about anything or anyone ever again”

she nods and leans closer to him. she knows it’s wrong but she can’t help wanting to be closer and when he leans down to close the gap between them, she gasps into the kiss. his lips are soft and while his body runs cold, his kisses are so warm that she sighs and wraps her arms around him again.

“you won’t leave me, right?” he asks and she nods

“good girl” he smiles, kissing her again.

i have you now. you’ll always be mine, y/n.

she falls asleep to the sound of him humming softly. it’s comforting and she finds herself having the best sleep she’s had in months.

the morning of the wedding, she sat still as her mother fixed her hair. it was the only time she ever had her mother make such a fuss over her. she was grateful for saeko and kaori, it helped her not cry.

she didn’t want to ruin her makeup.

you’re just so beautiful, why wouldn’t i want to keep you forever? you’re the perfect sacrifice. i suppose i could grant this town a few blessings.

unless you told me not to. i would do anything for you.

kiyoomi could hardly keep his eyes off her as she stood in front of him. he could hardly focus on the bows or anything else as he watched her face through the pretty red veil.

she never needed makeup but her eyes were so much more prominent with the dark eyeliner. he could only think about finally making her his.

“beautiful” he whispers and he can see the way she smiles shyly. a smile only for him.

he could see her friends glancing at each other, trying to be discreet with their texting but there was nothing they could do now. he smirks as he makes eye contact with satori.

he must’ve always had his suspicions but after all, stories are just stories aren’t they?

saeko would do whatever she could to mark sure y/n was happy or he would just have to get rid of her.

no one would dare come between them or he would wipe the whole town out.

the bed was covered in a deep shade of red, matching her wedding dress. she sat patiently with her hands in her lap as she waited for him to join her.

she kept her veil down, knowing he had to remove it for her.

she was nervous but she knew she wanted to be with kiyoomi and it was clear he definitely wanted her just as much.

“lie down for me darling” he whispers, kissing her jaw as he slips the rest of his clothing off. she laid bare before him and he smirked, trailing his fingers up her thigh, stopping at her neck to squeeze gently.

“kiyoomi” she whispers, “please”

“i know” he tells her, “i just want to look at you”

i will never look at anyone the way i look at you.

he wanted to tell her everything, how he had seen her at that café she frequented. how he had set everything in motion for her greedy father and how it was just to easy to have them offer her up on a silver platter, all for him.

she gaps, grabbing onto his bicep as he slowly pushes into her. it hurt but she found herself moaning louder, wrapping her legs around his waist. she wanted all of him.

mine.. all mine..

he never cared for any of their offerings. he was almost 700 years old now and while he doesn’t remember much about the previous offerings, he knows he never cared as much as he does now.

you were so perfect and exactly what he wanted. before you, he had plans to get rid of the town that had conjured him up all those years ago for their own selfish desires.

“more omi, please” she begs, eyes tearing up when you feel him press deeper into you, his body so close that it almost felt like you were burning up.

he could give you that and so much more. he would give you everything you asked for.

“fuck, you feel so soft and warm” he whispers, gripping the back of your thigh and lifting it towards your chest.

like this he was even deeper, fucking you into the bed. your new bed that you’d spend your forever in.

“so good” she can’t help but cry out for him.

she’s never felt anything this intense before, he own fingers were nothing compared to the way he fucked her.

he knew exactly where to touch and where to kiss.

“tell me baby, who do you belong to?” he asks, gripping her jaw to force her to keep eye contact.

“you” she moans, “i’m all yours”

he believed her words to be true because he felt the way her pussy clenched tightly around his cock. a virgin, he grins down when he sees the tiny droplets of blood. it only made him harder, closing his eyes to keep his composure.

you have no idea.

Assorted Batkid Headcanons

During the middle days of Damian being Dick’s Robin, he was still figuring out how to show affection in a nonviolent way, so he just kept getting Dick fish. His logic was ‘Grayson has issues taking care of himself, so I will get him a pet that even he will find easy to care for’.

As a result Dick has an entire tank of various fish, all named Jim after Jim Gordon.

Dick finds this hilarious. Babs finds this hilarious. She’ll casually mention something ‘Jim’ did in conversation with her dad and watch as he bluescreens.

Tim has the pallet of a five year old. All he likes are exceedingly sugary sweet foods everyone else wants to puke while eating.

As a result, all he drinks are those stupidly sugary energy drinks that leave you seeing god after a few minutes. Is this unhealthy? No, it’s a liquid, therefor water, therefor good - Tim Drake.

Duke has purposefully broken his wrist to see if he would light up like a glowstick before. It didn’t work.

Cass shows her affection through objects, so a Batkid will often walk into their residence to find something like a metal bottle cap or a feather neatly placed on their table, without any security triggered or any other indication anyone was ever here. They all know to treasure these, no matter what they are.

Jason, given he’s built like a tank, will often hold things out of reach from people just to Be An Asshole. He loves it.

Damian used the same method of affection on Steph when she was his Batgirl, but had a bit more faith in her ability to not let something die, so he kept getting her small rodents, like hamsters and rats. She named them all after characters from Supernatural.

Stephanie had a huge Supernatural phase when she was 13 and never really grew out of it. She’s tried out summoning rituals from the show before.

Every single Batkid had a Warriors phase. Every. Single. One.

Dick was SO FUCKING HAPPY when Duke showed up because he finally had a brother who would happily give him a hug without having a panic attack due to TouchFuckery.

Steph has referred to the Batfam as “Furry Touchfucked McNuggets” before. No one questions it because she’s right.

Babs has designated snacks for every occasion. Program Taking Too Long To Load is Cheetos. Bruce Being a Bitchass On the Comms is popcorn. Done With This Bullshit For Good, I Swear is Twix.

Tim’s Notes app on this phone is entirely filled with sleep deprived 4am rants about why Star Trek is the superior franchise. He’s very passionate about it.

One time Bart was bored so decided to raid the pantry and he found Damian crouched on one of the top shelves, hissing like a cat and clutching a box of Weetabix. He took a picture and now it’s the YJ discord group icon.

Not exactly Batfam but the YJ Core Four + Cissie have a discord group chat and Tim’s the mod.

Damian loves Weetabix. Idk if anyone else knows what that is but that shit was my fucking childhood so he loves it.

Duke has tried and is currently trying to unionize all the kid sidekicks. They’re getting there.

Jason’s favorite authors are Mary Shelley and Jane Austen. Pride and Prejudice is his comfort book that he often reads after patrolling as way to wind down. He fucking hates Edgar Allan Poe with a passion for reasons he refuses to explain.

Cass will sometimes teach some dance moves to little kids while on patrol. Sure, she knows it’s not stopping violence, but when she sees another little girl with scars on her palms and wary eyes light up as she twirls in the air and laugh as she leaps, she thinks it’s worth it. More than worth it.

Jason’s found her doing this sometimes. Neither of them say anything.

The Batkids all love Jon. Yeah, move over Damian, don’t keep him all to yourself. They may have their own supers/alien besties, but Jon is just adorable, and they all want to smoosh the cheeks of a kid who won’t attempt to stab them for it. Look, he’s so cute. The day anyone bullies Jon beware, because the entirety of Gotham’s vigilante force will be there to wreak havoc upon you.

Little Ways to Love Your Life

I love performing little rituals to enhance my life. It's infinitely satisfying and it reminds me why living is so beautiful, on days when I start viewing the world through a pessimistic lens. This is your reminder that there's so much beauty in the mundane, just start looking for it :)

Here's some things I do that make me love my life just a little bit more:

Wake with the sun:

There is nothing better than opening your eyes to golden sunshine on your face. The golden hour has this quality that makes you feel like royalty.

Move your body:

Give your body a dose of endorphins by doing some exercise! Go for a hot girl walk, hit the gym for a sweaty HIIT sesh, or just groove to some Just Dance. I promise it will make you feel like you can conquer the world.

Smell sweet:

Put on a playlist and sing as you shower. Lather yourself up with sweet-smelling soap, and after you step out of the bath, slick on some vanilla scented moisturizer, and perfume. Don't forget deodorant! Make sure to stick with organic products because chemicals can irritate your skin.

Food = love:

A full stomach is a happy person. Make yourself a cup of coffee, and a hearty breakfast. Take note of the way milk swirls into the dark coffee, how the egg sizzles in the pan. Allow yourself to just exist in the moment, where you are taking care of your mind and body.

Self-love:

While I eat healthy 90% of the time, on days I really need to feel excited, I go buy a pain au chocolat from my nearest artisan bakery. It's one of my favourite foods to indulge in and it always makes me smile. Likewise, buy yourself something nice. It could be a new shirt, a bouquet of flowers, or designer chocolates. Indulge in yourself. You deserve it.

Look at beautiful things:

I don't mean window shopping or aesthetic Instagram pictures. Go out and observe. Look at the shape of the clouds, and how the trees dance in the wind. Pet that cute dog. Smell the wildflowers. Disconnect from the online world, even if it's for half an hour. Give yourself that much time.

Take pictures:

Screw retail therapy, taking aesthetic pictures is my new thing. Take so many pictures. The way sunlight filters in through your window, a cat stretching, a close-up of a flower, your Starbucks mocha latte. Unleash your inner photographer.

Pursue your hobbies:

When I'm down I play the piano or whip out my glue gun and craft my worries away. Doing something you love instantly puts your brain in a good mood. It could be tennis, gardening, quilling, birdwatching. Whatever you love. Do it.

Restrict your social media:

I was unknowingly comparing myself to all the girls I saw on Instagram and it was so detrimental to my self-esteem. I ended up deleting the app. I'm currently planning on reinstalling it by July next year. Delete the apps that do not make you feel good. You will have more time to dedicate to work, hobbies, family and relationships.

Finding joy in the mundane is the most healing thing you can do. Make your routine special, and switch it up once in a while. Don't shy away from your dream life, because you DESERVE it. You deserve EVERYTHING you ever want, okay? Now go get it. xoxo

<3

something new - l.mh

note: this is a reupload from my old blog

content: sub minho, dom reader, light body worship, biting, handjob, fingering (m receiving), light praise, begging, cum eating, reader’s sex is unspecified

word count: 4.1k

“Ow!”

Your squeak was immediately followed by the sound of Minho’s mischievous laughter, only growing louder as you turned to give him a glare. “Minho,” You huffed, gingerly rubbing the spot where he’d pinched your hand. “That hurt.”

He simply grinned, bunny teeth peeking out from behind his lips. The sight ebbed your annoyance a bit, and you settled for giving him a half-hearted swat before leaning back against him.

He had curled up next to you on the bed as the two of you attempted to solve puzzles on your phone together. In typical Minho fashion, he had to balance out the fact that he was feeling affectionate by bothering you as much as possible.

He’d been helpful initially, using his sharp wit to figure out the answers with ease, but as time went on, it seemed he became more interested in making your life difficult than actually contributing anything.

“Causing irritation or annoyance,” Minho read the next hint out loud. “Vexing.”

“Lee Minho.” You grumbled.

The comment earned you a sharp poke to the stomach, and you gritted your teeth to avoid giving him the reaction he wanted.

“Mmm...nope! Doesn’t fit.”

You wondered just how satisfying it would be to push him off the bed right then and there. Furrowing your brows, you reread the hint, racking your brain for possible adjectives to fill in the space. You’d gained plenty of points on the app already, but you still needed a few more to unlock the next level, and Minho’s presence had started to make that goal seem unachievable.

You stiffened as the man in question took hold of your hand—the same one that he’d pinched. “Don’t.” You warned, trying to yank it away. Minho puckered his lips into an irresistible pout, blinking at you innocently.

“Just wanna kiss it better,” He claimed, tone so sweet that you knew there had to be a catch. You eyed him doubtfully as he brought your hand up to his lips, giving the sensitive spot a peck.

There was a pause, and just when you thought it was safe to let your guard down, he stuck his tongue out and licked you.

Goosebumps immediately rose on your skin, and Minho snickered as you let out a disgusted groan. “Gross, Minho.” You complained, wiping the back of your hand on his shirt.

“What? That’s how cats heal wounds, y’know.” He pointed out proudly.

With that, a golden opportunity to get back at him presented itself. “Yeah?” You cooed, demeanor shifting. “Is Lino my little kitty?”

You jokingly brought your hand up to pet his hair, and Minho let out that fake, warning laugh of his that meant you were in danger. Deciding to push your luck, you scratched underneath his chin.

“Such a pretty kitty.” You praised, only pulling away with a panicked giggle when Minho’s jaws snapped in an attempt to bite you.

He managed to grab hold of your wrist in time, but instead of retaliating like you’d feared, he lined his fingers up with yours, big eyes sparkling playfully. “Mm...I have cuter hands than you, don’t you think?”

You barely restrained the urge to tease him again as you were once again reminded of how dainty they were. It was as if Minho had deliberately been blessed with the most delicate features imaginable to mask his troublesome personality underneath. You were certain that great care had been put into his design so that he was just endearing enough to get away with all his antics—a cat through and through.

“Obviously,” You hummed. “Everything about you is the cutest.”

Minho paused, clearly not expecting that sort of response, and the faintest tint of red crept up on his ears. His small fingers played with yours, brushing faintly against your skin.

“Yours are still nice, though.” He mumbled, almost to himself.

You watched Minho fondly, amused by how fixated he seemed to be on your hand all of a sudden. As he inspected it with a strange fascination, you took the chance to admire his side profile to your heart’s content. You took in his long lashes, your eyes following along the bridge of his nose right down to the adorable little freckle at its tip.

“What’s got you so interested all of a sudden?”

“I wanna try something new.” Minho announced.

He kept his eyes focused on your entwined fingers to avoid the look you gave him, and you could’ve sworn you saw his cheeks redden to match his ears. When he made no effort to elaborate, you gave his hand a gentle squeeze, encouraging him to continue.

Minho scrunched his lips to the side as if contemplating something deep and profound. You leaned a bit closer to him, studying his thinking face with growing curiosity.

“Don’t we…” He hesitated. “Y’know that new thing we got the other day?”

His attempt to sound nonchalant failed so spectacularly that you had to push back a smile.

“Mhm,” You played along. “You mean the thing that you suggested we buy?”

He made a face, not taking kindly to the reminder. There was another pause, long enough that you could tell he was struggling to figure out how to phrase his next words.

“I wanna use it.”

You tilted your head, fully aware of what he was trying to get at. “For?”

Though Minho held eye contact to the best of his ability, you didn’t miss the way the tips of his ears flared up, an undeniably deep red this time. His hold on your hand tightened in place of an answer, blinking rapidly through the silence.

Eventually, he gave up, realizing you weren’t going to let him off that easily. Huffing in defeat, he steeled himself.

“Wanna try fingering.” He deadpanned.

Your unsurprised reaction wasn’t lost on Minho. The fact that you’d seen right through him was both a source of comfort and unease. It was something he’d never quite gotten used to—having someone who could read him the way you did—and it filled his chest with a strange exhilaration.

“You feel ready?” You asked.

Minho nodded, searching your face for some sign of disapproval. “We don’t have to,” He said hastily, his burst of courage fizzling out. “Just thought it’d be...interesting to try.”

He trailed off awkwardly. His eyes averted again in a rare display of embarrassment, and you felt yourself soften.

“I think it’d be interesting, too.” You agreed playfully, unlocking your fingers to take his face into your hands.

Minho grumbled as you mocked his choice of words. Despite that, his earlier resistance was nowhere to be found when you squished his cheeks together, making his lips pucker.

“Lino’s so curious,” You murmured. “You really are just like a kitten, hm?”

He mustered up the most threatening glare he could, but his flushed cheeks and wide eyes betrayed him. You smiled when he said nothing, choosing instead to pout as his face grew hotter under your touch. It wasn’t often that you were able to catch Minho flustered to this degree, and you were determined to make the most of it.

“Can we?” He breathed, voice even softer than usual.

You leaned forward to press a kiss to his nose, and you felt him relax. “Whatever my baby wants.” You said sweetly. “I’ll be right back.”

Minho gave a small half-smile, and you patted his cheek before slipping off the bed to make your way over to your closet. With a bit of digging around, you were able to find the thing in question–that being, a bottle of lube. It was still unopened, purchased on a whim just like many of Minho’s other sudden objects of interest.

You’d learned very early on that experimenting was a given when it came to Minho. He wanted to try anything and everything at least once, often dropping new ideas on you with little to no warning. Whether it was done to catch you off guard or just his capricious mind at work, you weren’t sure, but judging by how shy he’d get after each blunt request, you couldn’t shake the feeling that he was just attempting to mask his own apprehension.

Knowing how impatient he could be, you made quick work of retrieving the bottle, washing your hands, and returning to the bedroom. There, you found Minho squirming slightly on the mattress, looking adorably lost. His eyes lit up when he saw you, and you smiled warmly as you joined him on the bed.

He watched intently as you opened the bottle of lube, his dark eyes locked on the object. “This’ll make things easier for both of us,” You reassured him. “Wanna make sure I can slide into you just fine, yeah?”

Minho let out a small whine of embarrassment, and you couldn’t hide how delighted you were to see him so easily flustered. Once you’d removed the plastic film from its cover, you placed the lube on the nightstand and leaned forward to give him a soft kiss. He instantly melted into it, humming into your mouth.

When you pulled away, some of the unease in his eyes seemed to have disappeared, and you nuzzled your nose against his. “No need to be nervous.” You reassured him. “We can stop any time you want, okay?”

At that, Minho’s lips curved into a small smirk, showing a glimpse of his usual self. “If you do a good job, we won’t have to.”

You pulled away with a click of your tongue. Normally, you’d scold him for mouthing off like that, but you knew that his teasing was just an attempt to calm himself down. “Keep talking,” You dismissed. “Let’s see how smart you are once I’m inside you.”

Minho was thankful there was no way for you to catch how your words made his heart jump. When you motioned for him to lay down, he obeyed without any further remarks. He shuffled back on the bed, resting his head down against the pillows and spreading his legs for you. You adjusted your own position so that you were between his thighs, and your hands found their way to the hem of his shirt.

Minho’s breath hitched as you tugged on it without warning, sliding the garment up so that his stomach was exposed. You watched the way it rose and fell as his breathing picked up, overtaken by the urge to plant a kiss on the soft skin. You did exactly that, earning a squeak of surprise from him.

“Such a pretty boy.” You mumbled, pressing another kiss right above his belly button.

He grumbled half-heartedly as you peppered kisses along his tummy, paying special attention to his surgical scar when your lips passed over it. You opened your mouth against his skin, moving further and further down his abdomen and leaving wet marks wherever you went. The plush heat made Minho shiver, and it wasn’t long before he was squirming beneath you again.

“T-tickles,” He complained breathlessly, letting out a quiet whimper as you grazed your teeth along his flesh. You smiled into your kisses before licking a long stripe down his stomach, only stopping when you reached the waistband of his pants.

Minho’s whole body jolted, and he made an unhappy noise, reaching out to paw at you. “Quit teasing me,” He whined. “You know what I want.”

“Be patient.” You mumbled, ghosting your fingers over his clothed length. “You’ve never done this before, let’s take it slow.”

You knew your words were the exact opposite of what Minho wanted to hear, and he made that apparent with another childish grumble. It was quickly silenced, however, as you began palming at his bulge.

Minho jerked up with a gasp, his eyes fluttering shut. You briefly admired the way his long lashes rested atop his cheeks before slipping your hands under the waistband of his pants. He immediately lifted his hips higher, far too eager to bother with giving you any trouble today.

You tugged his pants off along with his boxers in one smooth motion. As his length came into view, you felt a tinge of pride noticing that he’d grown half-hard from your kisses alone.

Minho sighed as you began to stroke him slowly, both out of pleasure and frustration that you still weren’t giving him what he wanted. “You’re m-mean,” He stuttered. “Want you inside me already.”

“But look how much your pretty cock is twitching,” You purred, relishing in the dissatisfied whimper he let out. “It’s just begging me for attention.”

You ran your thumb over his slit, gathering some of the precum that had accumulated to spread along the rest of his length. The sensation made Minho’s thighs quiver, and he bucked his hips up in a wordless plea for more.

With a tsk, you flattened your other palm against his stomach, pushing him back down against the mattress. The added pressure of your hand spiked his pleasure more than he’d like to admit, and he couldn’t hold back the sharp gasp that escaped him.

“Since when are you this desperate, Lino?” You teased, giving him a gentle squeeze.

“You’re just—hah—as excited as m-me.” He retorted.

Minho grimaced over how unsteady his voice sounded, and he felt his face burn hotter when you simply laughed in response.

“Am I?” You drawled. “Say it without stuttering and I might believe you.”

You didn’t bother waiting for an answer, instead rolling your palm around the head of his dick to make him cry out. He was fully hard now, and you pumped his length a few more times before releasing him from your grip all at once.

A low protest escaped Minho as you did, as if the bliss of your hand had already made him lose sight of what he’d been vying for.  

“Relax,” You shushed him. “I’m gonna give you what you want so bad now.”

Minho’s eyes were dark with arousal when he blinked them open. His usual mischief was nowhere to be found as he gazed up at you, watching anxiously while you reached over to retrieve the lube from your nightstand.

You squeezed a generous amount onto your index and middle finger, lathering them with the slippery substance. Once they were thoroughly coated, you settled back between Minho’s legs, and he instinctively spread them wider for you. “I’m gonna start with just one, alright?” You told him gently, bringing your middle finger to prod at his entrance.

Minho hissed at the cold, unfamiliar feeling, his whole body tensing up. “Right.” He managed through gritted teeth.

You placed your other hand on his thigh and slowly began to slide your middle finger inside of him. He sucked in a sharp breath, instantly tightening around you.

“Loosen up, babe.” You ordered softly, rubbing delicate circles into the skin of his thigh. “If you’re that tense it’s gonna be uncomfortable.”

Minho swallowed hard, squeezing his eyes shut as he nodded. You waited patiently for his body to relax before sliding the rest of your finger in, paying close attention to the cute hiccups he let out the deeper you inched.

Once you were fully inside, you gave him a few moments to adjust, kneading his flesh with your other hand in an attempt to soothe him. “Do you feel alright?” You checked.

He struggled to compose himself before responding. “Mhm,” He breathed. “Weird...but not bad.” Minho clenched around your finger as he spoke, still getting used to how it felt pressing against his walls.

“Just let me know if it gets to be too much.” You murmured, beginning to pull out bit by bit.

“I can take it,” He assured you. His confidence was instantly overtaken by the broken moan that spilled out of him. Your eyes gleamed with amusement, and you paused for a moment before you pushed back inside of him, admiring the way his cock twitched as you did.

You began to pump your finger in and out tentatively, building up a smooth pace. Minho’s cries immediately burst into the room, the new, pleasurable sensation quickly clouding his mind and eliciting noises that made your stomach flip. His sweet sounds encouraged you to keep going, and you increased the speed of your movements, hungry for more of his reactions.

“Have you been dreaming about this for a while now?” You cooed. “Having my fingers inside of you?”

Minho gripped the bedsheets, his back arching sinfully. “Yes,” He mewled without hesitation. “Needed it.” His thighs started to tremble again, and you strengthened your grasp to steady him.

“So cute.” You hummed, digging your nails into the skin of his thigh. “You’re not as subtle as you think, angel.”

The pitiful groan that spilled out of him only emphasized your words. You curled your finger inside him, brushing along his prostate in a way that sent a ripple down his spine. Minho cried out your name sharply, a string of curses following soon after.

“Such a dirty mouth,” You frowned. “That’s not how a good boy talks, is it?”

Minho let out a whine in response, pushing his hips towards you in an attempt to recreate the delicious sensation he’d just felt. “Again,” He demanded weakly.

You clicked your tongue. Instead of complying, you brought your slick index finger to prod at his entrance, causing him to gasp. “Since you’re so desperate, I think you’ll have no problem taking another, yeah?”

Minho swallowed hard, trying to even his rapid breathing. “Y-yes...more.” He pleaded, eyebrows furrowing as he tried to brace himself. You trailed your index finger around his hole, amused by the way his squirming grew more and more restless the longer you dragged out the wait.

It wasn’t until he whimpered impatiently that you finally slipped it in to join your middle finger inside of him. Minho inhaled so quickly that he nearly choked, and it took all of his strength to keep himself from stiffening as you delicately stretched him out.

“You’re taking me so well,” You murmured, marveling at how your finger disappeared inside of him so smoothly. “You sure you haven’t done this before?”

“Sh-shut up,” He stuttered breathlessly. The soft whimper that he let out as you spread your fingers inside him did little to help his case.

“Watch your mouth,” You warned. “Or I just might decide to stop.”

Minho blinked his eyes open in an attempt to scowl at you, his gaze hazy with lust. You held his stare with ease, unable to take him seriously when he looked so helpless beneath you. His hair was tousled from all his wriggling around, his face was flushed a pretty pink, and his swollen lips were parted as he panted heavily.

You moved your hand from his thigh to brush your fingers through his damp hair, wiping away the beads of sweat that had formed. “Hah…‘m sorry,” Minho finally huffed, pressing his lower half against your hand to try and gain some friction.

Satisfied with his quick surrender, you gave his cheek a pat and began to pump your fingers once more. Minho let out a long, adorably high-pitched moan, and his cock spasmed against his stomach as the pleasure kicked in again.

You leaned down to press a kiss to his thigh, causing him to jolt in surprise. He instinctively tried closing his legs, and you pressed your hand down on his thigh to hold him in place. You hooked your fingers inside him as you worked your mouth, finding his sweet spot and earning a choked sob from the boy.

“Again,” Minho gasped, hips rocking subconsciously. “Again...please, please,”

You peppered more kisses along his thigh, smirking against his skin. “You sound so pretty.” You hummed. “Is it that good, baby?”

Before he could respond, you repeated the motion, curling your fingers and drawing out a whine that was positively sinful.

“Yes,” He moaned, his grip on the sheets becoming so tight that the veins in his arms protruded. “Love it—ah!—keep going, p-please.”

To hear Minho beg so openly sent a fresh wave of arousal through you, and you quickly complied with his plea. You bit down gently on his thigh, taking satisfaction in the way it made him shudder, and began to curl and uncurl your fingers at a steady pace against his sweet spot.

Minho’s airy cries grew more and more shameless, spilling out of him with little break in between. You pulled back from his thigh to catch a glimpse of his blissed out state, licking your lips as you drank in the sight of him.

He had bitten down on his bunched up shirt, but that didn’t stop the delicious sound of his moans from filling the room. More precum had gathered at the head of his dick, and it dribbled down onto his stomach, which rose and fell rapidly with every heave.

“So good,” Minho whimpered through the fabric, arching his back off the mattress. “Almost there—ngh—please.”

You continued to hook your fingers in just the right way as he clenched around you,, and when his cock began to jerk wildly against his stomach, you knew that he was close. You reached out to take a hold of his length with your free hand, ready to stroke him to completion, only for him to gasp out a protest.

“N-no,” He slurred. “Wanna c-cum from just this.”

Minho’s words sent a shiver down your spine, and a delighted grin made its way onto your face. “My baby really likes this, huh?”

You spread your fingers out in a scissor-like motion several times before going back to teasing his sweet spot. All it took was a few more skillful curls, and he was sent over the edge.

The sob that escaped Minho was unlike any you’d ever heard before. He bucked his hips up frantically, spilling onto his stomach as wave after wave of pleasure overwhelmed him. His seed shot out of him in several spurts, and you admired the way it decorated his skin.

You continued to finger him through his climax, eating up every spasm of his body and weak mewl of your name. When the last few drops of his cum had been emptied, you halted the movement of your fingers to allow him to come down from his high.

Minho’s whimpers gradually turned into slower, more controlled breaths, and the desperate expression on his face morphed into one of contentment. He relaxed under your touch, and you made sure to be gentle when you pulled your fingers out of him, admiring the way his hole gaped at the sudden loss.

A light tug at your shirt stopped you when you rose from the bed to retrieve a washcloth. You turned your head curiously to find Minho gazing up at you with that lazy, half-lidded look that he knew you couldn’t resist.

You softened. “I’m just getting a towel to clean you up.” You reassured him, trying again to pull away. He made no move to let go, however, and it was difficult to hold your resolve under his unwavering stare.

“So needy.” You sighed, unable to keep the fondness out of your voice as you flopped back down on the bed.

Minho grinned triumphantly before settling his head into your lap, not even trying to mask how hungry he was for your affection. He rested his cheek on your leg with a self-satisfied noise, and as you eyed his stained stomach, an idea came to mind.

He jumped when your fingers brushed against the sensitive skin of his tummy, scooping up his seed on your clean hand and bringing it to his lips. Minho let out a flustered whine, his ears quickly going red again. “If you’re not gonna let me clean you up, at least do it yourself.” You scolded.

Despite his embarrassment, he parted his reddened lips and took your fingers into his mouth. You felt goosebumps form on your skin as he licked them clean, his face scrunching up slightly at the taste of himself.

“How was it, Lino?” You checked. “Seems like you really enjoyed yourself.”

It was rare for Minho to try something out that he didn’t end up liking given his curious nature, but his reaction had been especially positive this time. So positive that you wondered if this may become a regular thing.

Minho swallowed as you pulled your fingers out of his mouth, letting out a shy hum. “Mmm,” He nuzzled his nose into your thigh. “I dunno.”

The playful lilt in his voice wasn’t lost on you, and you rolled your eyes when you noticed the corner of his lips curving up into a smirk.

“I think we need to test it out again, just to be sure.”

Hi! Do you know of any fics where Draco is a rich/powerful businessman? Maybe muggle au’s?

Hello! Your holds have arrived!

I think I've got the exact kind of vibes you're looking for! I hope you enjoy these fics! And as a bonus, be sure to check out this excellent art by @ano-ka-ba.

Rich/powerful businessman Draco

The Potters' Pool Party by @darcyshire (7,453 words, rated T)

When 12-year-old Scorpius is invited to a pool party, worried father Draco insists on tagging along for the sake of safety. By the time Draco realizes whose family is hosting, it's too late for him to back out.

i stay by @hogwartsfirebolt (9,104 words, rated M)

The darkening sky is dangerous for the shape of Harry’s desire, it makes it seem reasonable, as though it were a natural conclusion of having Draco once again within reach, rather than the mirage it actually is.

Seeking: pet carer for Bartholomew (four-year old rescue greyhound, no special needs) by @gallifrey1sburning (14,694 words, rated E)

When Draco’s boyfriend ends their relationship rather abruptly (and, frankly, extremely rudely), he leaves Draco with full-time responsibility for their rescue greyhound, Bartholomew. Draco loves his dog with all his heart, but the long hours he works at his law firm mean that he can’t possibly be home as much as Bartholomew needs. Enter Sirius Pet Care, an app designed to solve this very problem! When Draco books Harry, he’s relieved at how quickly the man and his dog bond. He’s less relieved by how unexpectedly, distractingly attractive Harry turns out to be… and how Draco’s afternoon meetings keep being “mysteriously” cancelled, meaning that he JUST HAPPENS to be home when Harry comes by. After all, it’s not appropriate to ogle one’s employees… right?

to be where I'm going (in the sunshine of your love) by theweightofmywords (19,080 words, rated E)

"He imagined Draco’s smile, all gums and slightly crooked teeth, his hair slicked back with Pacific water, and he knew: He’d travel as long as he’d need to if it meant he’d see that face. If it meant that Draco would hear the message he’d been carrying for so long. Maybe he didn’t have to travel the road alone anymore."

Draco and Harry go on a road trip together. It's about the journey, not the destination.

Uptown Downtown by Sbpagel (29,134 words, rated E)

Draco Malfoy is the spoiled, entitled, pretentious heir to Malfoy Constructions. James Black is a mystery, wrapped in an enigma and tied together with a puzzle.

it was a bad idea ('cause now I'm even more lost) by @all-drarry-to-me (36,446 words, rated T)

When Draco is told his green card is denied and he must return to England, he does the only thing he can think of and starts a fake relationship with the one available person in the room: Harry. The plan is simple — until feelings get involved.

When Trust and Truth Collide by silvergalaxy (47,374 words, rated E)

Harry meets Draco for the first time in the employee break room on a boring Wednesday morning and they immediately hit it off. Chance encounters turn into dates, and dates turn into feelings.

Oh, yeah. Draco's also Harry's boss. Harry has no idea.

Burn the Witch by @lettersbyelise (95,800 words, rated E)

When Harry Potter is sent in to investigate Draco Malfoy’s successful potions company, posing as Draco’s bodyguard, he doesn’t know the case will launch a series of events that will change his life — and Draco’s.

A story about choices, scars, Chopin piano pieces, and finding all kinds of love in the most unexpected places.

Pages of You by @wolfpants (101,717 words, rated E)

Summer, 1980. Harry is floating between university and becoming a Real Certified Adult. He's not ready. He really isn't.

In a desperate attempt to have the Best Last Summer ever, he takes a casual job at his godfather's bookshop in London, starts an illicit pen pal affair with a wordy posh boy that he's catching feelings for, all while dealing with the son of Sirius's business rival, one Draco Malfoy, insufferable know-it-all extraordinaire.

A story about trying to figure out who you are, where you're going in life, and who you want to take along with you.

I'm trying to design a photography studio that will suit my needs. I'm trying to make sure it is simple and easy to maintain. I'm trying to eliminate wires and anything that would require getting up and down a lot.

My previous studio was way too complicated. And it was very small so moving around required a lot of labored movements. Always stepping over cords and having to shimmy behind lights and ducking under stuff.

It took me about 30 minutes to set up the studio before I could even start taking photos.

Upstairs I will have a lot more room for activities and I think I can set things up to where I just flip on the lights and start taking photos with minimal fuss. I think I'm also going to try to put everything on wheels.

EVERYTHING will have wheeeeels.

Camera on wheels.

Lights on wheels.

I'm going to wear roller skates.

Wheels galore.

I'm deep into research mode. I'm actually finding some reasonably priced equipment. There are some great deals on lighting these days. And I might try to find some used items as well.

But it is hard not to drool over the super fancy stuff.

Believe it or not, this is a "budget" lighting kit.

That is the Chinese version that was "inspired" by this.

And that's only one light.

If you think about a flash that you see on top of cameras, all of the power bits are in the same device as the flashy bits. Whereas these packs put all of the power in a contained unit and just let the light be a light.

It's a great deal more powerful. You don't have to wait for it to recharge in between flashes. It has fancy functions like a super fast flash duration so you could almost photograph a bullet in mid-air. And the actual light is much lighter because all of the power guts are separate. These packs last for decades too. There are photographers with 20 year old gear that is still pumping out light like the day they bought it. And considering the abuse a high end studio would put on their lights, the premium cost is probably worth the investment.

But I'm probably going to have to get something a bit more... economically viable.

It has the power bits and the flashy bits and a powerful "modeling lamp" that lets you see what your light will do when it actually flashes.

They put a light in my light so I can see what my light will do.

Unlike my old studio lights, this can be controlled with a little thing on top of my camera. Or I can use an app on my phone. So I don't have to get up and down to adjust the power.

So... is 8 times more power worth $28000?

I hope not.

I'd love to be able to get battery powered lights so I could have 0 cords, but those are a bit pricey yet.

I'm probably going to have to use my photography to generate a little extra income. Maybe a photoshoot per week or something. I don't think I'll be able to keep the house if I don't find a little more each month. I really wanted my photography to not be tied to my financial circumstances but a frog's gotta do what a frog's gotta do.

That said, I am hoping to specialize in pet portraits. I think I could be really good at that. Plus I'd get to play with doggos without the burden of taking care of a doggo.

There is still a lot to figure out. And there is a lot I still don't know about my future. But designing a cool studio is a good distraction. And it could be how I keep the house.

Long Ass Tag Game

Cause I wanna get to know you guys better

Thanks for the tag @edas-boytoy <33 Putting this under cut

I accidently wrote looong answer for one question shdhs

How many tumblr accounts have you had before this one?

It's my first one actually haha, I've made like two/three more after this but now they're abandoned forever

Also for this blog I have two sideblogs, I don't really use them now either

How long have you been in fandom?

Like the current one? By the end of July 2023 I posted my first Kyoshi novels fanart and maybe one month earlier I started rebloging and commenting on posts from others, this was after I read the novels and I jumped into their fandom and then in the procces I've also got into tlok and atla (I enjoyed them way earlier but I just didn't participate in their fandoms)

Your favorite trope in fiction?

HMMMmmm Grumpy serious stoick ish x chaotic more fun (and other antonyms that matches first character idk) (whatever heituat has going on))), expressive women with strong personalities, girlfailures<3, severe stern ruthless etcetc women but caring deep down inside (optional), morally gray characters, and I'm just a little obssesed with mother daughter relationships in fiction if that counts as a trope

Your favorite random fact?

That might be well known idk, but sometimes for a video game character they'll hire one person as only just face model, and then differnt person as voice and acting/motion capture

Must feel weird and funny when you basically see yourself in video game doing stuff you didn't do speaking with a different voice

Your favorite game or kind of game?

Now I don't really play video games myself but since I've watched Until Dawn gameplay yeaaaars ago I still like to watch playthroughts of those choice based horror games (the quarry, devil in me, resident evil etc), and later I watch other playthroughts for different choices outcomes scenes etcetccc, The games can be kinda stupid but fun, alsooo playthroughts of adventure games(???), I usually watch them when I eat something

Also CHECK OUT "STRAY"!! I only watched playthrought too but it looks so cool, you basically play as a cat (they did good job with motion capture, feels like real cat moves and it looks so fun to play) and you're in a world when humans no longer exist and there are cool looking robots, you can stratch walls and make robots pet you but I promise it's not just that lolol it has an actual plot and wordbuilding

Aside video games I like chess but I suck big time, but for my defence I mostly played with my friend who sucks even more aHA, we downlanded one chess app for two players and played during some classes

I think I'm just interested in 3d models and graphics hehhh I like 3d modeling

There's also a game called Hades, and this one I actually started playing myself, not the kind of games I'm usually into (roguelike),but friend got me it and! The character designs are very cool

HA nerd long anwser

A place you'd like to visit? (If carbon emissions, logistics and money weren't in question)

Honestly idk, somewhere warm, Greece? Spain would be nice too mmm mm architecture

Or someplace with cool mountains

An animal you're irrationally afraid of?

Ladybugs. No further explenations. But I do appreciate their beauty on photos and from big distance, I'm serious they are very pretty

What's your favorite season?

HMmmm currenlty maybe spring

A smell that brings you nice memories?

I still remember taking a breath of fresh spring air in a specific room last year and getting hit with memories lol, is that even a smell? felt like a smell

(If you're ok talking about food. If not, delete this part)

What's your favorite food from where you were born? And what's your favorite food from some place else?

Pierogi, krokiety and bigos from our stupid potatoland, from other places hmmm, most kinds of pasta maybe, I love pasta, pasta!! which is a little boring but mmmmm mm mmmm pastaaaaa

I do drink but not too often and I don't really care what, I like flavoured beer, which is alcohol for babies as my friend would say and she might be right but I like it

Do you give your pets random table scraps?

Not too often but sometimes yeah and depends what is it

no pressure tag @korrasamibottles

[aesterblaster]

Weird ask but ok-

Niche hobbies/things the Blue Lock boys would ask you to do with them

Notes: so so fluffy lmao and can be read as platonic

Songs: Sherry / Jersey Boys , BIZCOCHITO / Rosalia

Isagi would literally beg you to go over his notes with him. Whether it be on a recent class before a big test or his latest soccer observations, he loves hearing your thoughts on his opinions. Isagi makes all sorts of hand gestures as he rambles on with you about everything from the mundane to the egoistic. You're his favorite person to bounce ideas off of but, he'd never admit to you that half the reason he cleaned up his hand writing so much was because he wanted you to be able to read it.

Bachira would ask you to help him find the right meditation apps. Not everyone knows this, but he meditates quite a lot and unfortunately hates almost every app on the market for it. You should know, having suggested at least 7 to him. The voices are too loud or too quiet, the premises too basic or makes him remember embarassing memories. Of course, it turns out in the end your voice is the best for guided meditation.

Reo drags you away to play old board games when you visit his house. You swear you've never even heard of half the things in his family's board game cabinet. This always gives him some wiggle room to jokingly make up rules, just to watch your expressions as he describes some ridiculously complex dice rolling system. Although you do always get a hold of the rule book and usually win.

Nagi takes you to huge greenhouses to pick out new pet plants. Each time a cactus of his dies he pretends not to care but is heartbroken deep down. Especially since he always lets you choose, claiming that going through each one is too much of a hassle. But there's no denying that there's a spark of affection in his eyes when he gets to watch the cashier place it into it's own little pot.

Rin would make you go to old vhs or horror movie shops with him. You like to tease him that he's the only reason they're still open anymore, but still when you go in there is a sort of reverent feeling that washes over you. From the laminated posters of black and white haunted houses to the sheer amount of tapes from all over the globe, you can't knock the owner's dedication. He always ropes you in to buying way more than you mean to in the end.

Tabito convinces you to go to a glassblowing class with him. At first he signed up on accident, meaning to go to an extra chemistry course, but he quickly falls in love with the craft. You do too, even though you're sweating to death in the hotshop, seeing the glass cool into just the right shape or pattern is always worth it. With his eye for precision and your ideas for sculptures or even just willingness to help make you two a perfect team.

Shidou calls on you at random hours to help him completely redecorate his room. What can he say, his interests change and sometimes what used to make him explode with joy just isn't doing it anymore. Half of the fun of redecorating with him is simply hearing him talk about his life or feelings, opening up in a way he doesn't in your day to day convos as he puts together a new bookshelf. He hints that maybe one day you two will do some work on your space as well.

Otoya would make you help him DJ at events. Whether it's a school dance or some club he managed to book a gig at, he'll always ask for your imput on his playlist or request that you set up his gear with him. Even when he pretends to be hurt at your suggestions to remove something or add something somewhere else you know he takes it to heart. He even teaches you the basics of BPM matching and other techniques so you can give more specific feedback.

Kenyu would take you to his modelling interviews. Half for support and half to joke with you about the ridiculous things they'd ask him before they let him try on the clothes. You like it because you get to go to these amazing locations all over Japan and see some amazing fashion design while also getting to hang out with Kenyu. Honestly even though you two laugh and joke about the designers, you're grateful he shares these amazing experiences with you.

Zanzo Headcanons in No Particular Order

Autism + Cerebral Palsy + Hearing Loss + Quad Amputee (@treemintart was first on this, I just co-opted it)

Based on research I did on bionic prosthetics, I think it'd make the most sense for sense for Zanzo's limbs to be osseointegrated - contact between bone and a sturdy metal like titanium. Nub - metal rod - cybernetic limb snaps into rod and covers nub. (Peppermint and Chai might have this set-up too. And maybe Rekka.)

His cybernetic limbs are battery powered. They need regular charging to function. (There were a handful of instances where Zanzo's limbs shut down from his lack of attention. He's more distressed when it happens to his arms than his legs.)

There's an extra collapsible wheelchair stashed in a storage closet in R&D for this precise reason. And also one at Zanzo's residency, which I assume exists somewhere on the island.

He can feel pressure in his cybernetic limbs, but that's all.

Even if his CP only affected one limb or one side of his body, Zanzo would want all of his limbs to match.

Motor Stims: rocking, hand gestures, fiddling with neural implants and other objects

Zanzo has moderate - moderately severe hearing loss (40-70 dBA range) - difficult to hear conversation, vacuuming, alarm clocks, and other sounds of equal or lesser volume.

He turns his aural implants to a lower audio setting while he's working to minimize distractions. Also does this if he's overwhelmed. Has gotten startled from folks walking in while he's in the zone.

The Jojo villain oc cosplay is Zanzo's mask. If people deride him for being "weird" regardless, it's gonna be on his terms.

The pillow is custom. Zanzo anonymously commissioned an artist to design the cover. He hugs it whenever he feels lonely or stressed. Also sleeps with it.

He owns a pair of blue light filtering glasses. Sometimes he remembers to wear them.

Zanzo joined the internet in his early teens, haunting ye old chat rooms and forums. Published lots of fan art. These drawings often included a dual blade wielding green haired character.

He discovered anime around the same time and it changed his life. His main interest is in action-adventure and mecha series.

He watches anime subbed regardless of whether it's dubbed in English so he doesn't miss any dialogue. Because he's hard of hearing. (Also his parents used to yell at him for having the tv volume too loud.)

He enjoys playing action-adventure games like Metroidvanias and fighters. Occasionally breaks or hacks games for fun.

Gacha games are dangerous for Zanzo. He will be compelled to dump everything into getting the pulls he wants. Not to mention they distract him from other tasks. Zanzo had a few apps on his phone, but uninstalled them.

I don't think Zanzo's much of a pet person. In the cat/dog sense at the very least. If he did have one, I think it'd be something small and low maintenance - like a rodent or a lizard.

Zanzo first dyed his hair in his late teens/early twenties, inspired by his favorite fictional character. He stopped when Vandelay hired him, and picked it up again after his promotion, figuring Kale wouldn't care enough to chastise him about it. He was right. (This is dependent on Vandelay's stance regarding colored hair, which we don't have any canon info about. I imagine the department heads have more leeway in regards to dress code.)

I learned from the Hi-Fi wiki that the BRUT-1L has a "baby rocking mode". My proposal is that Zanzo intended this for stimming. Maybe he couldn't justify making something that specifically self indulgent, so he knocked two birds out with one stone by also making BRUT-1L a combat gardening robot. (Zanzo doubts his neurotypical coworkers would understand the appeal.)

Zanzo has a private YouTube/Twitch (or whatever the Hi Fi Rush equivalent is) account. Content ranges from playthroughs (and game breaking), reviews/analysis, unboxings, and showing off his various robotics projects. (Including ones that shouldn't be unveiled to the public yet.) He has a small, but dedicated following.

Does Zanzo know how to sword fight? Kind of. He understands the principle at the bare minimum.

Digital Tools

(For the Witch)

•☽────✧˖°˖⛤˖°˖✧────☾•

You may be thinking, "Locke, you're devoted to the Old Way. Why are you blogging about technology?"

Well, the truth is: I love technology. It makes my life easier, and when it comes to witchcraft, I have found so many different tools to both boost my academic productivity and help keep my focus.

So, without further ado, here are five free programs that I use to study witchcraft with:

Canva Whiteboard

Planable

Google Keep

Finch

Live Transcribe

Now, I know that new software can be a bit hard to digest, especially if a witch is inexperienced with technology to begin with. So, let me break down everything for you. I've kept all my information short, snappy, and easy to grasp right away.

Canva Whiteboard

Pros

Visual organization

Customizable templates

Infinite space

Cloud storage

Cons

Learning curve

Text limitations

A lot of people use Canva for making lovely little infographics, icons, and wallpapers. What they don't know is that Canva has a whiteboard function that allows their users to play with sticky notes, shapes, stickers, multimedia, graphics, and more. I find this absolutely perfect for making mind maps, keeping sigils, and keeping a visual record of herbs and crystals.

This is great for visual-style learners who like to study with minimal writing.

Planable

Pros

Aesthetic layout

Customizable font

Group editing

Tagging system

Cloud storage

Cons

Limit of 50 articles for free

You must sign up as a "company" (I say coven!)

Mobile app does not allow note editing

Planable was originally designed for planning professional social media posts. However, it's also fantastic for keeping long-form notes. It has all the writing tools you could possibly need for making in-depth articles, plotting out the content of your grimoire, and hosting live study groups. It can handle any multimedia you throw at it. It also has an app in beta for viewing your notes on the fly.

Great for witches who love hoarding all their knowledge in one cozy spot.

Google Keep

Pros

Customizable note backgrounds

Voice memos

Drawings

Tagging system

Cloud storage

Cons

Only has basic font customization

Images only (no video compatibility)

It's short; it's sweet. Google Keep (or simply Keep) is an ad-free notes app that gets down to the nitty-gritty. It's best for lists, checkboxes, short-form notes, and posting pretty pictures all in between.

Finch

Pros

Cute and easy app design

Turns goals into a game

Guided meditiation

Daily affirmations

Recieve uplifting messages from friends

Cons

Requires a healthy/newer phone to run

Only available on Google Play Store

Finch is charming, useful, and an anchor all bundled into one. Aimed for self-care, this app is no standard pet simulator. Your finch brings genuine companionship from a place of love, sending you affirmations, inspiring quotes, and offering compassion in hard times. You raise your finch by setting and completing goals for yourself, whether it be for self-care, everyday tasks, magick, or all three. The app also offers guided meditation, emergency panic/anxiety attack regulation, journaling, motivation check-ins, and other various emotional wellbeing activities.

The best way to do magick is with a clear and calm mind. Finch is perfect for facilitating this!

Live Transcribe

Pros

Minimalistic

Instant loading time

Transcribes in multiple languages at once

Offline usage

Cons

May occasionally mishear you

Doesn't shy away from transcribing vulgar language

If the app is closed, you will lose your previous transcription unless history is turned on

Turn it on and let it work! Live Transcribe takes verbage and turns it into a live and fairly accurate transcript for you to format into notes. I personally love finding short video documentaries on history and witchy how-tos to transcribe.

Great for learning and retaining verbal information for witches who may have an audio processing disorder. It's also good for the humble act of hoarding knowledge.

I hope that you find good use out of these digital tools! Have a lovely rest of your week, and enjoy a breath of fresh organization. 🌿✨️
