Clark Kent x Male Reader
Content: Greek Mythology AU
Warnings: Smut, Bottom!Reader, Top!Clark, semi-public sex, anal sex, unprotected sex, drunken sex, skinny dipping, spit as lube, missionary position…
Summary: You’re a member of Dionysus following and during a feast you meet a demigod son of Zeus, Clark, also known as the man of steel…
——
You were a lesser deity in a world filled with powerful gods, monsters and heroes. You were the son of the now famous naiad, Daphne. Unfortunately though your mother was no longer with you as she had been turned in to a laurel tree as a form of mercy.
It was considered mercy because the only other option she had was to be violated by Apollo, who was under the spell of Eros after an argument between the two. Apollo feeling bad about the whole ordeal apologised by finding you a place in the retinue of Dionysus and Ariadne.
You didn’t mind this as your duties were pretty much drink, dance, fuck, drink more and generally just to have a good time. It was just constant partying and celebration.
One night when the party had yet to start a visitor came for Dionysus. You were sat close to the god’s throne, you were petting one of his pet leopards when a strange man appeared and entered the god’s camp. He walked slowly towards the olympian. You noted his handsome appearance as he stopped in front of Dionysus.
”Lord Dionysus, you sent for me” the man said in a deep tone. ”I did” Dionysus confirmed before standing up saying loudly ”Everyone! Let me introduce to you to Clark, you may know him as the man of steel!… And also one of my younger half brothers”.
Dionysus followers broke out in cheers for the hero, who seemed slightly confused by the big welcoming. ”I’ve called him here to save us all from the cyclops that has been attacking in the night” Dionysus declared and everyone once again cheered.
”What?! You never told me of any cyclops?!” Clark asked agitated. ”Actually I didn’t tell you anything but you showed up anyway” Dionysus teased him. ”Why don’t you save them yourself?” Clark questioned. However Dionysus only responded with a simple ”Where’s the fun in that?”.
Clark looked irretated at Dionysus and said ”I will not be tricked in to fighting someone else’s battle”. Making the on looking crowd let out disappointed murmurs. Dionysus walked up to the hero and put a hand on his shoulder.
”Come on Clark, do us this favour and we’ll give you the biggest celebration you’ll experince in a life time, with the finest wine and feast, our best music and dancers and if you want you can take to bed anyone you fancy, we don’t judge” Dionysus offered.
Clark took a moment looking around at the crowd surrounding him until his eyes landed on you for a swift moment. He then turned back to Dionysus and said ”Very well, i shall do you this favour”. Once again the crowd including you broke out in cheers and applause for the demigod.
The very next day gifted Clark with a sword, armour and food by Dionysus as he and his followers saw off the hero on his way to save them from the threat of the cyclops.
I didn’t take long for Clark to return as he was back at the camp by next day. He came back in the afternoon covered from head to toe in dirt, dust and a little cyclops blood. Throwing the red painted sword by Dionysus feet.
”Well done” Dionysus complimented looking at the blood drenched sword. Dionysus then turned towards you ”Y/n, take our hero somewhere he can wash off” he commanded. ”Yes, lord Dionysus” you said with a quick bow. He then turned back to Clark and said ”When you return, we feast”.
You went and collected a basket with a bottle of scented oil, a strigil (a tool they used in ancient greece to wash themselves) and a new chiton. ”This way, my lord” you said to Clark and started guiding him through the forest. ”Please, just Clark is fine” he said humbly following you.
You guided him to a secluded pond. ”Impressive, how did you find this place so quickly?” Clark complimented. ”My mother was a naiad, it’s an instinct” you explained putting down the basket next to the pond.
”Would you like me to bring you anything else?” you asked Clark as he started undressing out of the dented armour and dirty chiton. ”You’ve already done enough for me, thank you” he said gentlemanly. Clark was now naked, revealing his muscled body and impressive manhood, which you tried not to look at.
He stepped down in the pond, the water reaching up to his hips. ”Why don’t you join me?” he suggested gesturing towards the water. ”I’d love too, but i have to help the others prepare everything for tonight” you said. ”Come on, only for a short time” Clark tempted. ”Okay” you said with a smile, taking off your chiton and sandals.
Clark watched your naked form with interest as you stepped down in to the water. ”See, it’s nice” Clark said starting to wash himself off using the scented oil you brought for him. You tried not to stare at his oiled up chest but you were 90% sure he caught you looking but he didn’t say anything, he only smirked.
You relaxed in the cool water for a while until you remembered you needed to get back to the others. You climbed out of the pond and started putting on your clothing once again. ”Thanks for the company, hope i’ll see you tonight” Clark said. ”Hope, i’ll see you too” you said and started walking through the forest back towards camp.
That night the music rang loudly through the forest as you celebrated the death of cyclops and your new hero, Clark. You drank and danced wildly with your friends. Some others were already passed out from drinking, some were gambling and playing games and one couple were fucking against a tree.
You saw Clark sitting on a pillow next to Dionysus talking, goblet in hand. You made your way over to the olympian and the demigod. ”Y/n” Dionysus exclaimed happily as he noted your presence. He patted a pillow next to him saying ”Come sit down”.
You took the offer sitting down next to the god, he made your empty goblet instantly refill and put an arm around you. ”I was just telling Clark of my inner circle” Dionysus revealed and continued ”Y/n, here you’ve met, he is my and Ariandne’s favourite attendant and friend” he said sweetly.
”Also he has a body as if sculpted by Pygmalion, carved and smoothed to absolute perfection. You should hope to have a look upon it someday” Dionysus said taking another sip from his goblet.
”Actually i already have” Clark stated boldly making Dionysus spill some wine on himself. ”Y/n, joined me for a swim in the pond” Clark explained making your cheeks heat up slightly. ”Is that so?” Dionysus questioned looking towards you.
”Well, i’ve got to go find Ariadne” Dionysus said getting up leaving you and Clark. ”Are you and Dionysus-?” Clark started but you cut him off saying ”No, he and Ariadne just have a very open relationship”. ”How has your night been?” you then questioned the hero.
”Enjoyable but i’ve never been much of a party person” he said then taking a sip from his cup. ”I get it, before i came here i wasn’t either” you told him and then got an idea. ”Wanna go for a walk for some peace and quiet?” you asked. ”Sure, i’d love too” Clark said and the two of you stood up and walked off in to the forest behind you bringing your goblets with you.
You walked and talked for a while, drinking until your goblets were didn’t have a single drop left in them. Dionysus must’ve brought out the strong stuff because you and Clark were stumbling around and slurring your speech, you were laughing loudly at each others stories, sitting very close together.
Finally the two of you ended up behind some bushes close by to the party. You started to passionately make out, you laying on your back in the soft grass and Clark on top of you. Clark tore open your chiton and undressed you, leaving your naked form beneath him.
He then took off his own clothes revealing his muscular body and his hard cock. Clark took his hand and brought it to your mouth, you sucked on his fingers to get them wet, then he brought his moist fingers to your enterance and started pushing finger inside you.
You let out a small gasp as Clark started to finger you open, he added another fiinger and then another until you were ready to take him. Clark spit in to his hand and rubbed it over his erect manhood.
”It’s time i claim my reward” Clark said spreading your legs, he lined himself up with you and started pushing his hard cock in to your warmth. Clark loved the seeing the face you made as his cock slowly filled you up.
”Fuck your so big” you hissed as the demigod was fully sheated deep inside you. He then slowy started moving pushing himself in and out of you as a wave of pleasure started washing over you.
Your legs were wrapped around Clark as he thrusted in to you. ”I’m gonna fuck your little nymph hole full with my seed” Clark groaned in to your ear and placed kisses all along your neck. The demigod started speeding up his thrusts.
”Clark, fuck yeah! Take me” you said in ecstasy grabbing at his back as he fucked your hole. Both of your bodies had started gleaming from sweat as he mounted you under the moonlight, as his reward for defeating the cyclops.
Clark’s thrusts became rougher as he wanted to take you like a real demigod would, he loved how your walls clenched around his thick cock. He brutally fucked you with all the strength of his godly heritage to bring you to your release.
You let out breathy moans as Clark pounded your gaping hole, thrusting against your prostate. You felt yourself getting close to your orgasm. You dug your nails in to the grass below as Clark’s cock made you see Mount Olympus.
”Clark, i’m gonna cum” you said panting heavily making Clark thrust deeper as he wanted to push you over the edge. Then your cock started spraying cum all over your and Clark’s stomachs. Clark’s own release was getting close.
”I’m gonna plant my seed deep inside you” Clark moaned and his rough thrusts became uneven and sloppy. Clark delivered one last deep stroke in to you and he erupted inside you, he flooding your insides with his cum.
Both of you panted heavily and Clark rolled over and layed next to you in the grass. ”You were amazing” Clark praised while softly stroking your cheek. The two of you then used your torn clothes as blankets as you cuddled close together and you both fell asleep under the starry sky.

f1 drivers as tracks from the tortured poets department: a very abridged and very biased list.
DISCLAIMER: this is all for fun and should be taken very lightheartedly. Not all drivers were included, but I am open to suggestions as well as constructive criticism.
Without further ado:
CHARLES LECLERC - I Can Do It With A Broken Heart
Absolutely suicidal lyrics that should be mildly concerning but all in all very upbeat and makes you want to run around doing side quests. Such as write an album, or open an ice cream shop. I'm thinking this is specifically 2022 Charles when he trusted no one at Ferrari, or mid-2023 when everyone was calling him washed and calling for his teammate to be n1 driver, and then he proceeded to put it on pole in a tractor multiple times and still hasn't finished outside the top 5 since. Either way, I am looking forward how this song will hit when Charles gets his eventual championship.
MAX VERSTAPPEN - Who's Afraid of Little Old Me?
This one is for Mad Max, who was thrust onto the world stage as an untested young prodigy at seventeen, who was called too young and immature and proceeded to win a GP upon debut in a top team, who was called Crashtappen from 2015-2019 and labelled as overly aggressive to his detriment, who was painted as a villain by every media outlet and documentary and DTS episode, who said "fuck the haters" and won championships anyway, who broke records, and made his own national anthem the expected song for every podium. A driver who is fast approaching greatest of all time status, for his win streaks alone. A driver that most others now just shrug about, because there's no shame in not choosing to fight the inevitable.
LEWIS HAMILTON - So Long, London
Ah, the heart-wrenching track of letting go of your long-term British relationship that doesn't serve you anymore. So many lyrics from here I could apply to the rumoured break down of amicable relations between Lewis and Mercedes, the team he won six championships with. From "My spine split from carrying us up the hill" to "I didn't opt in to be your odd man out. I founded the club she's heard great things about" to "you say I abandoned the ship But I was going down with it. My white-knuckle dying grip. Holding tight to your quiet resentment". Honestly, I could copy and paste all the lyrics here and they would apply to Lewis' Merc swan song. Taylor wrote "you swore that you loved me but where were the clues, I died on the altar waiting for the proof." about Abu Dhabi 2021.
CARLOS SAINZ - The Prophecy
Carlos has been delivering some of the best drives of his career this season, but it doesn't matter because he's not the chosen one, he's not il predestinato, he's not the son of Maranello. No matter what he does, he would never have kept that Ferrari seat over the mythos of Charles Leclerc. "Let it once be me. Who do I have to speak to, to redo the prophecy?"
LANDO NORRIS - Guilty as Sin?
Specifically given for half-flirting with Red Bull for most of last season, only to shake himself out of it and re-sign with McLaren, but I have one eye on him, not entirely sure he's given up on the Red Bull daydream, and Red Bull have been open about wanting to get him, if they can. It's all on Lando to stay faithful.
OSCAR PIASTRI - Fresh Out the Slammer
Piastrigate continues to inspire and compel an entire generation of F1 fans, and as such should form the basis of Oscar's song selection. What was the promises that Alpine made him, if not "Gray and blue and fights and tunnels Handcuffed to the spell I was under For just one hour of sunshine"
FERNANDO ALONSO - Florida!!!
Florida!!! is a big and powerful song about being a Shakespearean villain with a History and questionable morals and motives. Who is that if not Fernando Alonso? "Tell me I'm despicable, say it's unforgivable." "Is that a bad thing to say in a song?"
LANCE STROLL - But Daddy I Love Him
Yeah this one is self-indulgent and too good to resist. He's singing it about Fernando btw. Next.
DANIEL RICCIARDO - Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus
Someone is getting that Red Bull seat next year, and every name is on the list except Daniel Ricciardo. "As the decade played us for fools, you saw my bones out with somebody new." Who knows what would have happened if Daniel hadn't left Red Bull, all those years ago? "Just say you loved me the way you were" Oof. We could spend years living in the What Ifs of it all.

Hello, I'm new here and I really liked your tumblr. I would like it if you could answer my question. Don't you think Saturo is a little needy, you know he always wants to get people's attention, he always wants to force a friendship, that scares me a little, he can even be unnecessary sometimes.
Hiii! I literally have no idea how you came across my blog but I'm happy if it made you feel welcome ❤️ Thanks for reaching out.
Tumblr media
Don't be scared by the tall man with the impossible eyes and bulk volume suffering. He's here to help! ✨
I mean, you pretty accurately described Gojo, tbqh. He is needy, I wouldn't say he wants to get people's attention... but he has it, anyway, he is desperately reaching out for human connection, he frequently ponders and is consumed by the unnecessary (just as much as the necessary) and people tend to conflate his strength with his identity.
How do we put one at ease with this larger than life personality? We speedrun it, of course. The best way to empathize with someone is to understand how they got from point A to point D and this is as it applies in real life, too. Consider this my humble offering toward this threat I made a few years ago. Going to avoid spoilers beyond what's been animated but this is still going to be a long one so strap in! JK there's a minor spoiler that's marked (⚠️) but it's not a major plot point.
IN DEFENSE OF GOJO
A mostly unsolicited essay ✨
Before we get into how Gojo became Gojo, let's look at the basic information we know about jujutsu society in universe.
Curses are formed by negative emotional runoff, typically from people who can't control cursed energy.
There are humans who are born with cursed techniques but the brains of humans so their powers were dormant until Kenjaku!Geto activated them in the last episode of season 2.
Those with power that are beyond the comprehension of the elders happen to find themselves carrying death sentences (as it applies to Yuta Okkotsu and Yuji Itadori, specifically).
There are 3 Big Families: the Gojo, Kamo, and Zenin Clans, likened to nobility, which have been active since the Golden Age of Jujutsu hundreds of years ago.
Generally, the Gojo clan inherits the Limitless technique. Six Eyes is a lot less frequent and both techniques haven't manifested in one user in over 100 years until Gojo was born. (Purple or Hollow Purple is another hidden move which each family has some extra razzle dazzle offshoots from their main cursed technique.)
Kamo clan passes along Blood Manipulation (re: Choso, Noritoshi Kamo, the Kyoto student, and Noritoshi Kamo, the blemish on the Kamo clan who created the cursed womb paintings)
Zenin clan has the Ten Shadows Technique (re: Megumi. Bear in mind, previously a Zenin Ten Shadows user fought a Gojo Six Eyes + Limitless user and the fight ended in a stalemate that resulted in both of their deaths).
Anomalies, like that of Maki and Toji, exist even in these age old clans where an heir is born without the ability to manipulate cursed energy and/or see curses.
Of the above and those of the main cast specifically, the inheritors of these generations' old techniques have pretty shit origin stories. They are privileged but cursed in a way. Heavy is the head, and all.
BIG THREE FAMILY CULTURE
We haven't gotten a lot of insight into the Gojo clan except that it's basically a clan of one: Satoru Gojo.
Noritoshi, the Kyoto student, bears the name of the blot of the Kamo clan and is a bastard son who happened to inherit the familial technique. Because of this, he is shepherded into the fold of the Kamo the family, foisted into a position of responsibility, and separated from his "disgrace" of mother. She leaves him, knowing her presence would hold him back, and hopes that her sacrifice in doing so will enable him to better help others. ⚠️ However, when Kenjaku!Geto used remote Idle Transfiguration to awaken dormant vessels and dormant cursed technique users, the proper firstborn heir of the Kamo clan's inherited technique was awakened which swiftly saw Noritoshi's expulsion from his status and the clan.
The most damning evidence we have of the culture of these families is from the Zenin clan:
They terrorized Toji Zenin, despite his inhuman strength, simply because he was born without the ability to manipulate cursed energy. To the extent that an incident from his childhood left his face scarred and likely radicalized him into the sorcerer killer he is today.
Mai and Maki were gravely mistreated because, in addition to being girls, they were born twins which is considered highly unfavorable.
The twin superstition is "justified" by Mai's weak cursed technique and Maki's inability to see curses or manipulate cursed energy.
The misogynistic treatment of the girls is likely not uncommon within the Big Three families given 1) what we've seen happen to Kamo's mom, 2) the treatment of the twins' mother, and 3) the way that Gojo vehemently advises that Tsumiki would never be happy with the Zenin clan (as both a jujutsu outside and because she's a girl as determined by events that haven't been animated yet).
Empirically, from the above, we can extrapolate that familial ties don't mean shit in the Big Three Families, blood relations are tenuous at best. Tradition, power and hereditary techniques reign supreme to maintain status. Those outside of the blessed few are at the mercy of more powerful members of the family which will be more evident in season 3.
💡 As an aside, kinda interesting to think about Geto's ideology applied to these traditional families. In fact, I wonder if Geto cultivated his beliefs based on what Gojo told him about his family.
Tumblr media
UNDERSTANDING THE CHARACTERIZATION OF GOJO
Now that we understand society as Gojo would have known it, let's get into how he experiences the world from birth.
Canonically, his birth shifted the power balance between sorcerers and curses. A lot of readers assume he has a god complex which, in addition to being categorically false, is more a reflection of his canonical in universe power. He is neither a god nor does he necessarily perceive himself to be one. But that's not to say he doesn't have a bit of an attitude problem.
He is born with both the Limitless and Six Eyes techniques which, again, hasn't happened in over 100 years. Subsequently, stronger curses are on the rise to compensate for this dramatic shift in power.
💡 Lowkey, I kinda headcanon that the influx of more powerful curses comes from the bitter resentment that periphery individuals must have harbored against Gojo because, let's be real. He's clearly Mappa's favorite and it brings out the anti in everybody IRL lol I can only imagine in universe if you were born to a jujutsu family and lost out on the genetic lottery when it came to cursed energy.
He explicitly draws the ire of curses and cursed users alike with a bounty that immediately incites an onslaught of first come, first serve mercenaries. As a child. Even Toji, the great sorcerer killer, tries to get the drop on a young Satoru Gojo but none are successful at coming close. Not even the invisible man.
From what we know of the Big Three above, the miracle of Gojo's inheritance would likely push him into a place of great power and influence within his clan, even from an early age. Further, we've seen what the burden of responsibility an inherited technique looks like as it applies to Noritoshi Kamo. Gojo would have been burdened with this status and, simultaneously, constantly placated by others so as to appease the miraculous heir.
Additionally, as we saw with Noritoshi, other clans may also have a vested interest in currying favor with the young heir because even proximity to Gojo creates a sense of power and status.
By blood, Yuta is a distant, distant cousin of Gojo's from a branch family and we see how OP he is.... Later in the story, Gege makes it a point to use the Great Satoru Gojo as a measure of power and, subsequently, more explicitly how close other characters' power, prowess or technique come close to that of Gojo's.
Subsequently, as the Kamo clan heir, Noritoshi tries to ingratiate himself to Megumi despite the fact that he's no longer even connected to the Zenin clan. He curses that Mai didn't inherit Ten Shadows to make relations a bit smoother. Gojo would likely have several people vying for his attention and grace whether he wants it or not.
I think you can see how, a smart kid like Gojo who literally has nothing but time to process and compute the ways of the world around him, would come to understand the motivations of others as it specifically relates to him and his power. It would be understandable if he were innately wary and distrustful of others, especially when you consider his initial experience as the target of an onslaught of, albeit unsuccessful, assassination attempts.
Here, I think, is what really gives life to the isolation that Gojo feels from a very young age which is only known by those with immense power like Sukuna and other characters who've yet to be revealed. Gojo is less an individual and more a means to an end. He is a monolith for power, protection and status. His power is so incomprehensible for other sorcerers of the era that his potential for vulnerability is taken for granted.
With a culture that prioritizes strength over, perhaps, morality, it makes sense why, when we see Gojo years later as a high school student, he is relatively disrespectful toward his elders and thinks it is silly that the strong should have to diminish themselves for the comfort of the weak. Bear in mind, this disrespect is likely because no one was really checking him on manners from a young age. Further, from his experience, strength has always been commodified, why would you diminish that? He was and remains head of the Gojo clan with all the pomp and circumstance that comes with that.
Enter Suguru Geto, the smoking gun as to why we know Gojo doesn't have a god complex. Suguru, like Geto, is the only other special grade sorcerer aside from Yuki Tsukumo (and she makes it a point to not take missions). Qualified as equals, the two are constantly doled out missions that higher ups are not even equipped to handle. Try not catching an ego about that.
Even though their power may not necessarily be on par with one another, it is enough that Gojo deems Geto an equal. Their friendship tempers Gojo's character in ways his family could not.
THE HUMANITY OF A GOD
Gojo is not a god but, to those around him, he's certainly lauded as such. Part of that entails inherently overlooking that which makes him vulnerable, makes him human. As someone who can, at will, literally turn off the ability to be touched at all, the premise is ironic. But the fact remains, from all the above and his behavior therein, it seems as though Gojo had to wait until high school to act like a kid at all and that is all thanks to Geto.
As an outsider, Geto's opposing ideology suggests that the strong are meant to protect the weak and keep others who are strong in check. Gojo is frequently shown taking Geto's criticism and point of view under critical advisement. In fact, realizing how out of touch he is with the reality of others, he defers to Geto as a moral compass, trusting implicitly in his judgement.
Not only that but, from what we saw during the Kyoto Goodwill Event, it is not uncommon for sorcerers to be wary of disclosing what their cursed technique is to other sorcerers. You can never be too careful nor can you know who's a cursed user in the making, even amongst your own classmates. With inherited techniques, word gets around but... Geto, an outsider, was intimately aware of the drawback Gojo experienced when overusing his technique and that speaks volumes about how comfortable Gojo was being vulnerable with him.
Geto encourages Gojo to speak more politely to his elders, again, a pushback he clearly wasn't getting anywhere else or, perhaps, direction he simply wasn't taking from anyone else.
Because Gojo recognizes Geto as an equal, he is more relaxed and able to behave accordingly which Geto graciously allows and creates a safe space for. Imagine all the steam this little weirdo has been holding in out of obligation? Moreover, as someone who has always undeniably been the strongest person in any room, imagine the relief in finally knowing that there is someone else you can rely on? Feel safe with? Someone you can be needy and greedy with. Gojo found his One and Only best friend.
Geto allows him to authentically be himself AND HE STARES AT HIM LIKE THIS WHILE DOING SO!
Tumblr media
Additionally, we talk about Gojo being unnecessary at time, which he is. I poke a lot of fun at how Gojo will take in what someone like Yaga explains to him and then the output is some Digimon reference a lot. He literally speaks in gibberish half the time but Geto just... understands him. Or makes it a point to try. Bear in mind, Gojo's silly goofiness belies his penchant for serious contemplation, as well, as he's knowledgeable about historical poetry, prominent figures and events. The dichotomy of this is whiplash inducing to Ijichi. If you think about the adage, those who don't know history are destined to repeat it, it shines an interesting light on why Gojo seems to have such a wealth and emphasis on the history of not only jujutsu sorcerers but also other politics at play dating back centuries. Even more so if you consider ItaFushi to be SatoSugu 2.0 as... the story kind of feels that way, doesn't it? BACK TO THE POINT, Gojo behaves like a fool but he isn't stupid.
I think this arrogance and silly facade is a product of being plugged into the reality of what it truly means for the few to protect the greater good. He's probably hyper aware of the prospective survival rate of his peers based on empirical information he has at his disposal. It's why he pointblank tells Ijichi not to become a sorcerer. I think it's also why he's frivolous with having and creating fun. Not just for his kohais but later for his students. With Geto, he experiences a closeness he hadn't had with anyone else and it improves his ability to connect with others by extension.
Tumblr media
I know this is not from the canon material but I think this is the perfect inclusion as to Gojo's proclivity for frivolity. LOOK AT HIM.
MISSION FAILURE AND FALL OUT
Based on the information we have currently, Gojo didn't exactly have the same splintered origins that Megumi and Noritoshi had. But from the above and his socialization with people outside of the Gojo clan, we see how coming from a place of privilege can still create deficiencies. But it isn't enough to simply learn and benefit from the good times. Maybe people take for granted that which isn't tested or taken away. We can't fully understand adult Gojo without understanding the failures of teenage Gojo.
Tasked with a mission that literally impacts the fate of the world and is relayed as such, the two special grade sorcerers take on the Star Plasma Vessel mission. As we saw in season 2, it didn't exactly end well. From this we can glean the following:
From the beginning and despite that which hung in the balance if they were unsuccessful, Gojo and Geto were willing to blow it all, come what may, if the vessel opted out of the merger. They were willing to fight Tengen themselves to spare one life even if it destabilized everything else. The idea of which seems Icarian in nature and we saw how that worked out for Icarus.
Toji's plan of attrition (wearing Gojo down specifically) was successful partly because of the false sense of security engineered by Shiu Kong that allowed them to recapture Kuroi.
However, based on Gojo's hubris, Gojo and Geto were already living in a false sense of security. Any attempts Geto made to temper Gojo's ego were appeased by the fact that, he wasn't alone. Finally. He had Geto and Gojo was insulated in the comfort and security he found in Geto's company. He could take on Tengen, he could risk another night in Okinawa burning through his stamina. It did not matter if he had Geto to rely on. They were the strongest.
Turns out it did matter and they were both foiled, thoroughly. The fall out of these events results in the following:
Gojo's evolution wherein he learns how to control reversed curse energy which shoots him past his previous limits.
Gojo avenges his loss to Toji and Riko, by extension (that order feels important to mention). He achieves a level of enlightenment and transcendence which saw the successful use of the Red Technique that he'd been unable to use in a fight against a lackey during the same mission which also made it possible to execute the finisher attack Hollow Purple, resulting in the fight's end.
Upon reclaiming Riko's body from the Time Vessel Association, Gojo, in the haze of his victory, asks Geto if they should slaughter the people celebrating Riko's death. Showing that, regardless of his power up, he still needs Geto's guidance and values the opinion of his equal. I say this even though we know Gojo lies about Shoko treating his injuries. Even he's aware that this latest evolution creates a greater disparity between their relative strength but he defers to him anyway.
Geto begins questioning whether the lives of non-sorcerers who are capable of such evil are really worth fighting and/or dying for.
The acknowledgement that, even though there is nothing beyond special grade classification, Gojo became the strongest.
Foundationally, Gojo came to terms with the vulnerability that Toji was able to exploit and subsequently trained to remediate that. Simultaneously, Geto fell deeper and deeper into a despair over a persisting moral crisis that Gojo, with Six Eyes at his disposal, was incapable of seeing or understanding. The occurrence of which is maddening to me, personally but such is the way of a fatal flaw.
Geto's subsequent and "sudden" defection pulled the rug from beneath Gojo's feet.
We have seen him dust off countless attempts on his life as a child, shoulder the burden of the Gojo clan as a child, execute his obligations as a sorcerer regardless of his beliefs as a child, and bear the brunt of jujutsu society because of the magnitude of his strength as a child and he never batted an eye. Not to say he didn't have something flippant to say about it but he endured it.
But with Geto's abandonment, whatever security he'd finally found was abruptly destabilized and it's important to note that only when it comes to Geto do we see Gojo's nonchalant facade falter. When he learns of the attack on the village with Yaga, when he confronts Geto in the streets of Shinjuku, when he encounters Kenjaku wearing Geto's corpse, he's not so silly goofy anymore is he?
Tumblr media
Finding Geto was like finally feeling the warmth of the summer sun on your face after living in the shadows of a cave all your life. For Gojo, his departure was like never knowing that warmth again.
Not to mention, his immense power and status of being the only other special grade sorcerer meant he also had to carry the weight of being his best friend's executioner. Please.
He spends his adult life cultivating strength in others, rescuing kids from a society that seeks to destroy what they refuse to understand, uniting other so they aren't burdened by the same loneliness that plagues him and, whenever possible, trying to bring light and fun to the lives of kids who may never make it out of high school because that's the reality of sorcerers. That's the burden of responsibility they carry so, in between missions, he tries to be silly, he tricks them, he leads them on wild goose chases so they actually get out and experience their youth properly.
You're not meant to fear Gojo. Fear the society that allowed for these things to happen because he's trying to fix it. If anything, pity the man who is not allowed to be weak or vulnerable because he has always known the weight of the world. He could have been a god but he chose instead to love and it was his undoing.
If you'd like to pity Gojo further, dive into an expansive list of all the SatoSugu brainrot I could think of.
Lowkey, this feels like a call out, because why am I also terrible like this?? Am I being cyber bullied? I feel like this took me several days to write.

"I hate you, Sully." You hissed before you left him and walked back to where the clan was celebrating, "Will you give me another kiss for that?" He said, laughing as you settled in so as not to let anyone know what had happened, ignoring him during the solitary walk that divided you more and more. In addition to Neteyam, that small event had also seen Uleyte from afar, remaining slightly baffled by your change on that occasion…
While you were walking you could still feel Neteyam’s hands gripping you, as his warm breath pinched your skin, wet kisses that gave you chills, and the way frustration appeared between your legs. Your breaths were heavy as you missed Neteyam’s body against yours, and you couldn’t help wondering what the fuck was your problem.
You fixed your hair to cover the little bite marks left by the boy on the sides of your neck. A shiver ran down your spine as a delicate hand landed on your back, only to find it was Tul'pey once you turned around. You tried to smile naturally, like the guilt of what you just did wasn’t eating your vocal cords now that you were looking into his eyes.
"Ma yawne, I was looking for you. Where have you been?" His sweet voice was like a stab in the stomach, not finding an adequate answer to give to your future mate. His eyes went down your body, noticing smudges of paint on your hips and abdomen, and then noticing some equally smudged red lines on your neck, which were slightly covered by some strands of hair. His gaze took a little, then opened his mouth again. "…And why is the paint on your body in this…way?"
You couldn’t help swallowing, feeling a lump in your throat as Tul'pey’s grip on your back hardened, making you shudder. Your eyes sought comfort away from those of Tul'pey who burned your skin. "Umh… I-I" you managed to say while you were searching for other words to form a sentence of full meaning.
"Y/N. Where you’ve been for half an hour. And why did you come back like this?" His harsh words scratched your skin, and in that moment you wished you had been attacked by a hungry Palulukan. Tul'pey was a great hunter, for this reason no detail went unnoticed, so you wondered why you had even thought that fixing your hair and clothes would be enough to go unnoticed, especially in his eyes. You felt like a complete idiot for not remembering the paint, you were so busy panting over another guy’s touches that your brain got drunk.
Your pupils dilated and then thought that if you were reduced to that state, then most likely Neteyam was too. You silently prayed to Eywa that Neteyam would not come out of the forest now, or you would die. Tul'pey began to spatter over your behavior, grabbed your face from your jaw, wrapped his hand and squeezed impatiently. "I swear-" started to say and then stopped when he saw hands wrapped around your waist from behind.
The hands were warm, the grip soft and delicate as if they didn’t want to hurt you. A warm body pressed against your back, pulling Tul'pey’s hand apart; the warm breath of the na'vi behind you tickled your throat and then let you breathe again as if the lump in your throat were suddenly loose.
"Oh, it’s my fault." said the gentle voice of your best friend who was holding you. "Lately I have been terribly affectionate, and I didn’t realize I had spoiled the vernce of y/n" the girl laughed slightly and then showed Tul'pey her arms with smudged paint, and then detached from you and show the other smudges of paint on her body. " See?"
Tul'pey’s hand left its grip on your jaw and chuckled, "I should have imagined it" the boy cleared his voice and then took a few steps back. "Y/n, however your parents were looking for you, we were worried about you… I… well, I’m going for.. you know." his voice was broken, obviously embarrassed by the way he was placed. After all, he was always very jealous and protective, but this was the first time you saw him a little more 'aggressive' with you.
When the boy left, you turned to Uleyte and embraced her instinctively. " I… can expl-" Uleyte laughed and shook his head slightly. " You can’t explain better than what I saw" your face began to burn because of the redness, you looked into her eyes mortified.
"Don’t look at me like that… I just wasted good paint and good tribal designs just to save your pretty face," she continued to reassure you. " It’s not what you think. It happened unintentionally. I-I swear!" You started making excuses, and then you got stuck with the girl who just had a smile on her face.
"So your 'oh, Neteyam' were unintentionally? because I think I heard something that sounded like that." She teased you, right before you started slapping her arm with embarrassment. " ULEYTE!" you sighed before leaving the girl’s body.
"I know I’m going to ask you a huge favor, but I need you to go paint Neteyam’s body. If they found out, the hugging excuse wouldn’t hold" You said, taking her hands and hoping she’d agree. "I stopped him right before he left the forest. I had already thought about doing it, but you two little parultysìp! you have to think about things like that, if I hadn’t been there it would have ended very badly" she replied sweetly, before taking one of the white bowls and heading towards the place where Neteyam had stopped. You whispered a "thank you" to her that she smiled back before disappearing into the trees.
Neteyam froze on the spot when he saw Uleyte arrive with a bowl in his hand, sure it was full of poison to make him swallow. Surprisingly not so, the girl made Neteyam sit on the ground, before starting to rebuild the lines that were smudged.
"She has a mate." she whispered chillingly after a few minutes of awkward silence, where Neteyam didn’t know how to speak. "A companion who was sent to her by Eywa." She continued without ever looking away from the paint to make the drawings.
"I know…" Neteyam replied in one breath, feeling tense.
" If you’re going to play with her, I swear, I-" Uleyte stopped when he saw Neteyam’s eyes, and then watched as he was already answering. " I’m not playing." His sincere look and convincing tone made the girl nod, who went on quietly. "You know what she risks. It will be the next Olo'eykte, and if it’s because of you her name gets muddy, you’ll destroy everything she’s worked for over the years." She replied, that she finished drawing on Neteyam’s body. "She does not have the privilege of being a lefnelan, the na'vi would break her spirit and she will have no honor. Be wise, future Olo'eyktan of the Omatikaya." She rose from the ground, drawing two lines in the center of the forehead, symbol of wisdom. "Y/n is a sister to me. I will not speak of what I have seen, I only hope that Eywa will protect you two, whatever your decision, Neteyam te Suli Tsyeyk'itan." When Uleyte finished talking, she disappeared into the trees, returning to the village.
Neteyam spent a few minutes observing the trees, thinking about what the girl had just told him. In that month that he had been so in contact with you, he could not help but appreciate every little part of you: the way you covered your smile when he said something funny; how you rolled your eyes at his jokes out of place; The way your eyes lit up when you talked about the sea and the wind in your culture; Your hair smelling of Yovo Fruit; Your bioluminescent freckles reminiscent of the stars you saw in the night; your decided character. He couldn’t see anything in you but perfection, so he couldn’t help but be jealous of how Tul'pey touched you, caressed you or kissed you. He was burning with jealousy, because he knew damn well he wanted to be the one to make you smile after a kiss, he wanted to be your partner, hold you every night to his chest and worship you as if you were the sun and moon of his world.
When he recovered, he returned to the village, immediately greeted by Tul'pey who invited him to sit among his friends during the banquet. When he saw you coming, his eyes followed your every move, enchanted by the way you radiated your own light only with your presence. He noticed how the smudges in your paint had been retouched like his, and couldn’t stop thinking about how soft your skin was and how his hands fit perfectly into your soft hips.
As Ikeyni began the opening speech to bless the food and the day in the name of Eywa, Neteyam had to mentally apologize to the Great Mother, because in his mind your whimpers echoed against the tree and as you called his name so sweetly.
You noticed Neteyam’s gaze upon you, but you avoided reciprocating, pointing your eyes at your mother who started talking once everyone sat down. Once the Olo'eykte speech was over, everyone began to eat and talk to each other, while the fire you had lit for Eywa created a crackling melody that accompanied the discussions.
Out of the corner of your eye you could see Mi'feya, the dancer of your clan, approaching Neteyam to talk to him. Her body language was so clear, the way she touched her hair, her tail moving slightly behind her, her fingers touching Neteyam’s skin, and then the smiles he smiled back at her. At that moment your heart was as if it was beating more slowly, you felt burning at the height of the larynx, tense muscles and a heaviness that was not in your belly before. Your jaw stiffened to the point of clenching it until you felt pain, while the nikt'chey in your hand turned to mush. It annoyed you to see Mi'feya so close to Neteyam, and her behavior made you nervous as never before, but the thing that caused you the most discomfort and pain was how Neteyam smiled at her and spoke to her with such kindness.
A feeling of jealousy was born in you, as you restrained yourself from looking at them or from dragging Neteyam as far away as possible and kissing him again, until you consumed his lips, until he understood that that smile should only be addressed to you and to you alone. You wanted to damn yourself for this, you didn’t have to be jealous of someone who isn’t yours, especially if that 'someone' is one of the Sullys.
Uleyte immediately noticed your change of mood, and put a hand on your leg, as if it could bring you back to the neutral state. " ma y/n… You’re making it too obvious," she whispered, looking at you, only to make you sigh heavily. "What?" You said while you were cleaning your dirty hand because of the crushed nikt'chey. "You know what," she replied.
Your eyes rolled, pointing at the sky for a few seconds. "It’s nothing." You hissed and then resumed your meal. During the duration of the banquet, your eyes could not stop looking from time to time at the two guys who were sitting on the other side of the circle, and when you looked away, it was Neteyam looking at you, a few seconds that made him sip at the words of the girl at his side. He knew almost immediately of your strange behavior, but did not immediately understand that that was jealousy very little hidden.
Your mother looked at the scene with suspicion, she immediately felt your nervousness, having you practically next to her, but she preferred not to ask questions and observe in silence but with suspicion.
When the banquet ended, dances began marking the time of the end of the sacred day, music accompanied Uleyte’s melodious voice, while some thuds caused by dance steps created additional accompaniment. It was all so harmonious, children dancing or accompanying your friend’s voice, couples joining the dance, and na'vi just having fun. It was a bitter bite to see Mi'feya leading Neteyam to dance with her, dances that were usually for couples or courtship.
You sat next to Uleyte as you watched the horrid scene as your foot and tail trembled in anxiety and exasperation. You had never felt these feelings for Tul'pey, and you were used to seeing him surrounded by young na'vi who touched him or tried to flirt slightly.
A hand beat your shoulder gently, and Tul'pey invited you to dance with him, under Uleyte’s wise gaze, you stood up and danced with your partner, trying to clear your mind.
After a few hours of dancing, the clan’s youngest na'vi withdrew with their parents to their respective huts, leaving in the village only young adults who from there shortly would be given to a little alcohol derived from the fermentation of some fruits or fish and to youthful fun. You stopped dancing, sitting next to your friend, obviously still tense.
"I’m going to clear my mind." You said before you walked away from the heart of the village, and walked where the huts were, thinking if going home was the wisest idea, instead of torturing you in seeing Neteyam and Mi'feya laughing and dancing together. You came unconsciously near the empty house of Neteyam, sighing heavily and annoyed that everything was bringing you back to him. Shortly after you passed the hut, a warm hand wrapped your wrist and dragged you to a hut. Instinctively you carried a hand where there was a small dagger that all the na'vi carried with them even in the days of celebration, one of the hands of the stranger stopped your wrist when it seemed that you were about to attack.
"No need for this" Neteyam’s clear voice echoed through the thin walls of leaves and straw. "Why did you take me like this?! I could have really hurt you. Weren’t you down in the village dancing?" you asked again annoyed, while the boy left you both wrists. "I saw you leave upset and I followed you" he replied gently. "What’s going on?"
You sighed deeply before answering. " Nothing." The dry tone was so obvious that Neteyam could read your face despite the dim light inside the hut.
"It can’t be 'nothing', you have a strange behavior after… well, you know what happened" you looked him in the eye and the small rays of the late sunset painted purple tints on his face. "Neteyam, I don’t want to talk about it, why don’t you go back to Mi'feya? You seemed so happy." Neteyam’s gaze went from sweet to amused when he realized that maybe it was jealousy behind your ambiguous behavior. "Should I? Maybe so, but it wasn’t that interesting" his tone was slightly mischievous. "It didn’t seem. With all those smiles and laughs, it seemed like you were having a good time with her." You drifted slightly away from him, only to be caught again by the wrist.
"You’re jealous, ma Tanhì?" you turned your face to where he was and tightened your jaw.
"No. I have no reason to be jealous, especially of you." You said you tried to be as convincing as possible.
"but I’m jealous of you." He admitted with a naturalness that left you breathless for a second. "And I know that you are of me," he continued as he shortened his distance with you. "Stop your jokes, you’re not funny." Your tone was as if out of breath, which the boy noticed.
"I’m not kidding. I’m jealous, terribly jealous of you and the fact that you’re not mine." His fingers intertwined with some strands of your hair, drawing closer to him. " And I can’t stop being, not after I get a taste of you…" His words were blown on your lips, swallowed as you filled your lungs with his scent and breath. "It’s not the same for me…" those words were more to convince yourself than him.
"Then why did another woman bother you so much?" His eyes wouldn’t come off your face, even studying the smallest micro expression. "Neteyam, that’s enough." your voice was breathless, almost exhausted as you restrained yourself from making yet another mistake. "Then tell me sincerely that it did not bother you and to go back to Mi'feya" his nose touched yours, while the hand between your hair held you close to him.
You opened your mouth to talk, but yet another lump in your throat was created. "I… don’t want to." You whispered slightly as you longed to kiss him again. Neteyam approached your lips but you stopped him by leaning your fingers on his mouth. " We can’t… I-I have a companion" Your tone made your voice broken as you spoke. "Let me just feel you one last time…" he whispered in a gasp. "Allow me to make you feel what he will never offer you, ma Tanhì" His sincere look made you understand his desire for you, the fingers of the hand holding your wrist touched your side, making you whisper his name with exasperation. "Tell me you don’t want it as much as I do, it’s the only way to stop this torture."
"I don’t want it…" you swallowed the knot in your throat, trying to stick to the last strand of sanity in your body. Neteyam leaned his forehead on yours and took a long breath closing his eyes before moving away from you, his gaze hesitated a few seconds before turning to leave.
You bit your lip when you saw it drifting away, but the last thread left inside you had been cut by Neteyam himself. You instinctively approached him, but surprisingly it was he who stole the kiss you were about to take. Your tongues danced together from the start, as the boy’s hands wrapped around your thighs before lifting you up and tying your legs around his waist. The room filled with moaning and wheezing accompanied by snaps of lips that clashed with desire; your hands wandered over his chest, before wrapping around his neck to feel him closer. Your back against the soft fabric of one of the sides of the hut, the breath that was beginning to fail both of you as you devoured your lips as if hungry.
Neteyam slid down gently, not letting you out of his arms, carrying you on his legs. Now his hands touched every inch of your body, memorizing and worshipping it in silence, his fingers squeezed your flesh while you panted on his lips.
When you came off, you carried your mouth over his neck, leaving bites and purple marks as he groaned raucously with his eyes closed, throwing his head back. Your fingers were eagerly wrapped in his hair and neck. You wanted to feel it as your own, so that everyone could see that they didn’t have a chance because he already had someone; the sense of possession was devouring you as you marked his body with your signature. Neteyam did not dare to pull you away from him, moving some strands of hair behind your ear, so as not to disturb your work.
The boy’s hands wrapped around your neck and side, caressing them as if to spur you to keep leaving marks on his body. When you broke away, Neteyam approached you, for the umpteenth time, kissing you with more passion, your hand now descended on his loincloth, pinching the top while the knuckles teased his lower abdomen. Neteyam gave you a silent consent, bringing you closer to him. Even the boy’s hands hesitated after taking off the net shawl, his fingers ripped off the part that covered your breast, while your free hand went to get his, to carry it on your breast. A small groan came out of your lips as he squeezed his grip gently, playing with your already hard and needy nipples; he detached himself from your lips to go and give attention to your breasts, teasing them with bites, licking and small juices that only made you wet. His tail wrapped around yours and then tickled the back of your pelvis, your back arched forward as you panted his name with despair, only making him more eager than you.
Your hand rested on his covered erection and a shiver ran through your body, beginning to draw its silhouette on the fabric that covered it, making him groan and moan around your breasts, while you were eager to feel what it would be like inside you. Your minds were clouded and drunk with your natural scents mixed with pheromones.
"You’re so beautiful" he whispered, voicing his thoughts unintentionally.
Neteyam’s hands went down to remove the lower part of your clothing, leaving you naked on top of him, and he detached himself from your breast, leaving a thread of saliva that still wanted his mouth at that point. He took a deep breath admiring your body with adoration, as if he were worshipping you in silence, and then following the curves of your body, feeling hungry. You wore the loincloth and looked down, swallowing to see the length of the na'vi below you.
Neteyam took your face from your chin and lowered it to its height, then tapped his thumb on your lips. "Open your mouth, ma yawnetu" you did what you said and the boy spat in your mouth, swallowed the fruity taste of the boy and then felt the lips of the boy again on yours, leaving as much saliva in your mouth, detaching immediately after. This time you poured the mixture that had been created in your mouth on your hand, using it to go and use it as a lube on Neteyam’s sore erection.
A long, hoarse groan came out of his lips as he felt your soft hand wrapped around his intimacy, his head bent backwards as a suffocated "Tsahey" came out of his mouth. His body unbalanced backwards, while his hands supported him and thanks to this his muscles contracted, leaving you enchanted by the scene, imprinting it in your memory. Your eyes went down to his abdomen as your hand moved with agonizing slowness to make him complain under you, already knowing he would take his revenge later. Your free hand went to tear the bands that covered his torso, leaving you finally a complete vision on his abdominal muscles, admiring how they twitched when you touched sensitive points like the small lateral vein that pulsed with desire.
You lowered yourself on his abdomen, sliding a little further away from the boy’s body, starting to leave kisses on his lower abdomen, making him swear in a language that you did not know, but that you found strangely erotic said by him. You blew lukewarm air on his pulsating cock, receiving a grunt from Neteyam, exasperated to have a little more. He felt the air missing in the meatballs when he felt your warm mouth around his bundle of nerves, while you licked and sucked at alternate and not decisive rhythms. One of his hands ended again in your hair, guiding you on the course that most pleased him, and when you understood the rhythm you could feel that it was the perfect one because of the tail of the boy who was shaking and beating on the ground for excitement. You began to greedily suck his intimacy, feeling his vein beating against your tongue that tasted his taste. Neteyam’s eyes watched you as you warmed his cock with so much devotion and passion, getting more excited because of your gargling when you went too deep or the snap that made your lips full of saliva against his erection when you got to the deepest point of your throat.
You only peeled off when a sweetish liquid slowly poured into your mouth, you panted slightly as you swallowed his sperm keeping your eyes fixed in Neteyam’s, which made him even more excited. Those eyes that before looked severely and almost disgustingly now begged him to give her more, to push him to the limit. He took a deep breath after pouring into your tongue, whispering a frustrated "Fuck…!" in the language you didn’t understand.
You walked away from his dick after one last lick to definitely clean it from that sweet juice he gave you. His face was swollen, bite marks on his lip were noticeable. One of his hands wrapped around your neck, pushing you against his lips, kissing you with passion and passion, as he stretched you backwards, meeting your back with the floor, kneeling between your legs. Your back arched when you felt Neteyam’s fingers playing with your clitoris right away, rubbing and pinching it, making you moan in his mouth, while a mischievous smile was born on his face.
" What’s going on, Sa'nutsyìp? It’s too much for you?" he said maliciously once removed from your lips, to enjoy your raw moans. Your hands ended up on his back, slightly scratching the smooth surface of his skin, unable to speak when two fingers entered you, leaving his thumb to massage the small mountain of your intimacy. Your breath cut out right in Neteyam’s ear as you closed your eyes enjoying the moment they were giving you the boy’s long fingers that created imaginary circles on the most sensitive spot of you.
Little shivers ran through your body, whimpering for more, until he started pumping his fingers in and out of you, making you squeak and moan so much that you had to shut your mouth to listen to the cries. His free hand blocked your wrists over your head, preventing you from blocking your moaning. "Oh no, I want to hear them all." He said raucously in your ear. The chills covered your whole body, taking long breaths to try not to make you feel more than you should. Your head bent to the side, as small tears formed and stuck in your eyelashes; your chest rose and descended for the ecitation that was exploding within you; your lips swollen and red because of the canines that sank on your own skin.
The fingers of neteyam began a rhythm that went from extremely slow and heartbreaking to a violent one that made you feel so close to heaven, while his lips worked your breasts with small bites or juices that forced you to keep your back arched for too much pleasure. The few times you could keep your eyes open, you could see Neteyam’s shoulders and back glowing through the window. The muscles tense and tense, holding the grip that blocked your wrists did not intend to loosen despite your spasms of pleasure; while his tail could not stand still, meeting yours only to tease her with the small final hairs of her tail, causing you further chills. "m-more…" you whispered exhausted, while the na'vi above you approached your neck. "Ask it like a good prrnen, mh?" he whispered, making you shudder. "Please… more" now your mind clouded by desire and your tongue was loose to any desire of Neteyam.
You felt a sense of emptiness when Neteyam broke away from you, letting your wrists go, his wet fingers came out of your vagina and tasted the taste of your excitement. A deep breath came out of your lips as you saw that scene, closing your legs as much as possible to create friction and relieve the pleasant pain. The boy laughed loudly and then opened your legs, his long fingers clasping your thighs.
"I am not finished." He hissed before leaning over your body and starting to leave wet kisses on your lower abdomen, coming down with a heartbreaking slowness on your groin, leaving some hickeys. You panted slightly, leaning on your elbows to see as much as possible of Neteyam’s actions, your lips again tortured by your own teeth as you lost your breath because of Neteyam’s lips.
"Oh, ma Eywa…" was the only thing you could say with the last thread of voice that was leaving your body after Neteyam breathed warm air on your red intimacy and swollen with desire. Your arms almost gave out when the rag’s wet tongue collided against your clitoris, making you moan louder than you thought. You heard the sound of Neteyam’s mocking smile as your head bent backwards in exasperation. Your tongue still had its sweet taste and the fact that he was now working the same way between your legs only made you more excited.
Neteyam’s lips began to kiss your bundle of excitement, sucking it greedily just to hear you scream and pant shamefully, as if you had never had intercourse before him. His tongue made space between your wet folds and it was easy for him to slip inside you and start enjoying you with pleasure.
"Please… more" now your mind clouded by desire and your tongue was loose to any desire of Neteyam.
He bit his lip, growling against your skin because of your pounding pussy against his erection needing new attention. "o-only this time…" you whispered raptured by desire. "I won’t be the one to stop you, Tanhi." his hoarse voice promptly answered your request.
Neteyam laid his hands on your hips and gently dropped you on his cock, a small hoarse groan betrayed his throat when he felt you tighten the walls around his chapel. The breath left your body when you felt the Na'vi just inside you, while a deep whimper accompanied Neteyam’s groan. Your nails stuck in his shoulders when you took inside you the whole length, your chest pressed against that of the boy as you began to move over him, tightening around his dick.
The hut filled with shameless moans and breathlessness, while the continuous tensions that were created between you were finally released with every movement of the basin you did to feel more pleasure. Neteyam’s lips searched for yours, devouring your every groan or whimper, but you, instead, enjoyed his groans and hoarse anxieties, accompanied by words in an unknown language. You left a few bites on your lips, while his hands touched every inch of your body, holding it to himself without shame and with much possession, frustrated that you could not mark every inch of your body to claim it as his.
His hand ended up in your hair, forcing you to keep eye contact with him, pulling and stroking some strands that he held between his fingers with jealousy. He loved every part of you and that was sending him straight to heaven, he had dreamed so much of having you like this but the reality had exceeded his expectations by light years. The hand that once touched your body was now wrapped around your neck, feeling your irregular breathing and your restraining moans from time to time. "Don’t hold back, let me hear how you like it." He said, licking your lips and then tightening your grip around your neck so you don’t hold back. Your face was a disaster of frustration and full well-being, an erotic vision in the eyes of Omatikayan.
Your nails scratched his shoulders and back, especially when he felt he was hitting a fragile spot inside you, and when he figured out where your G-spot was, he had you lie down again, putting some sheets under your pelvis, without ever leaving you. You screamed with pleasure as she began to slam repeatedly against that fragile spot, you cried his name, groaning like a shameless and leaving other deeper scratches on his back.
After a few more pushes you both reached your second orgasm, coordinating it without even wanting to. Neteyam’s hand was woven into yours at this point, while with the other he bore his weight.
His orgasm was stored so easily in your memory, as he did with yours. Neteyam’s hot cum made room on your stomach, as he had managed to get out just in time from you. Your breaths mingled in the silence of the night, the sweaty, exhausted bodies lying next to each other and the air still filled with your orgasms.
"That doesn’t mean I’ll hate you less." you whispered to break the silence. He turned to his side, looking at you amused. "You literally yelled my name just a few minutes ago and you just came out like that?" You also turned to the side of his answer, looking him in the eye. "Yes." You replied plainly.
Neteyam’s hand wrapped around your neck again, pushing you against him, while the other caressed your soft hair.
"Ma Eywa, you’re even sexier when you’re so stubborn, I’d like to make you cry on my dick a little more" he answered inches from your lips. "Tsk, as if you could." he looked at you.
"Sa'nutsyìp, you don’t even know what you’re talking about, just stop" he said teasing you. "You must have never been touched by a lefnelan" he continued, making fun of you.
"You’re right, I should really be looking for one, but it’s hard to find a man among so many kids." Neteyam’s jaw twitched at your answer and then he brushed his lips with yours. "You’re too beautiful to even answer you in the way I want to." He blew the words on your lips, making you lose a few beats.
His eyes studying you with interest and fun, while her thumb caressed the side of your throat, not taking his hand off your neck.
"What? Short of answers." You smiled mockingly.
"No, but I would gladly take that smile off your face, again." You remained silent for such a natural and sincere response. The desire to kiss him again had increased and he noticed.
"You see, ma Tanhì? You don’t hate me the way you want to" he said on your ear and then stuck you under him again, holding your wrists to the sides of your head. "If not, you wouldn’t have allowed me to take your orgasm twice" he started kissing your neck again. "and you wouldn’t let me do this now."
You turned your head to the side in silence, while he smiled mockingly. "I told you, you would have asked for this." Your eyes returned to his, slightly annoyed.
"You’re annoying." You snorted.
"And you look beautiful when you get angry" he laughed back, then stole a kiss before lying down again.
He took you from your hips and led you to rest your head on his chest, and then covered you with a light blanket that was just below you. " You said 'only this time', then I want to have the full experience" You sighed deeply to his words and nodded closing your eyes, falling asleep with the lullaby of the beats of his heart.
Neteyam could not help but stay a few minutes to contemplate your body next to him, not in a sexual or erotic sense, but only with adoration.
He took the time to print the picture of you sleeping on his chest, and your face relaxed as he held you close to him, before following you into the dream world.

Notes II:
I hope you enjoyed the chapter! Please,comment with your opinions and tell me which part you liked the most.
Well, since I found this beautiful fan art, i post it in this chapter because it reminded me of the scene where y/n paints Neteyam’s body.

Getting giggly thinking about Prince Yeonjun meeting his princess for the first time? Also why were up at 1 am 🤨🤨🤨
PRINCE YEONJUN I LITERALLY YELPED RAVEN ILY FOR THIS. oh. and uh… i was uh.. doing important things!! 😇 anywaYs enjoy jshsjs
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
9:02AM — “yeonjun, tuck your shirt in for the last time,” a strict, female voice barks in the distance.
you awkwardly balance your weight from one heel to another as your soon-to-be husband paces over to you, rolling his foxy eyes whilst his mother sends him strict side glares.
the prince looks as if he’d rather be anywhere else in the world; gloved hands digging into his pockets unceremoniously and plush lips formed in a subtle frown.
nonetheless, your own mother’s face brightens with each and every step they take. “smile, honey,” she reminds passive aggressively.
“why, you both look simply ethereal!” yeonjun’s mother compliments once they come to a stop, bowing with gracefulness that her son begrudgingly copies.
while the queen’s blabber on and feed each other sweet talk, yeonjun finally returns your gaze. he scans you up and down, seemingly unimpressed by his default expression. your brows furrow, feeling offended by the male’s lack of respect and decency.
was this rude, stuck up jerk really the man you’d be married off to?
“well, how about we let them introduce themselves on their own while i fetch you a cup of tea?” your mother offers, extending a gloved hand out to miss choi.
“that sounds delightful.” with one last squeeze to her son’s shoulder, the queen leans in, whispering something unreadable against his ear before prancing off elegantly.
now, only you and yeonjun remain outside the palace. he makes no move to do anything, so you reluctantly take charge despite only wanting to scold him for his awful, un-princely attitude. “i’ll show you around.” you don’t give him time to refuse, making your way inside with confident steps.
luckily, the prince doesn’t put up much of a fight; black dress shoes clicking and alerting you of his looming presence close behind.
you pause in the first hallway with a nervous gulp. “so.. this is where we—“
“what do you want?” the black haired boy rudely interrupts.
you frown, “pardon?”
he rolls his eyes yet again, and you resist the urge to comment on how it’ll get stuck there if he didn’t stop. “fortune? pleasure? fame?” he lists off as if he’d said it a billion times before, eyes drifting off to a nearby painting hanging delicately. “which one?”
squinting, you try to study his features and read his emotions, but as usual they offer you nothing. “uh, none?” you reply honestly, and at last, yeonjun turns to face you in peaked curiosity. “i just want to make my parents happy.”
yeonjun hates the fact that he falls for your confident tone and body language. “well, me too,” he mumbles so softly that you nearly miss it.
“then.. why is it that you’ve broken up with all.. what even is it now— ten of your past wives?” you couldn’t stop yourself from blurting it out, even if it was definitely a question for another day.
however, the choi family’s son seems to care even less. “they were all just using me for different reasons,” he replies instantly. “not a single one actually gave a shit about me as a person, so why should i allow them to sleep next to me in my bed?”
you blink at his honesty, nodding in understanding, “that makes sense.”
yeonjun snaps his head over to you, face still blank, but eyed widened a fraction. “it- it does?”
“uh.. yeah?”
he gulps, unsure of what to say. “sorry, it’s just.. i’m usually told that i’m wrong and i should just learn to accept it.”
feeling proud that he’s opening up to you, you quickly reply with something a princess should definitely not say. “well they’re all dickheads, aren’t they?” yeonjun nearly chokes, coughing in surprise before a laugh tumbles out of his lips. his brown, fox eyes crinkle softly, and you can’t help but think he looks shockingly cute like this. “what?” you ask through your own giggles.
“i’ve never heard a princess say such a word,” he cackles.
“well, i suppose you’ll have to give me a chance if you’d like to hear more.” you wiggle your brows playfully, a mischievous smirk still on your lips.
then, the prince does something he’s never done to a girl before (at least, out of his own free will). with a few steps towards you, yeonjun wraps his arm around your waist, leading you off to where your mother’s wait in the dining hall. maybe he’s gullible, maybe this was all a set up and you were simply a wonderful actor.
but at least for now, yeonjun felt genuine hope. “i think i will, princess.”
this was prob not what u expected sorry for the slight angst 🫶 also ten wives was supposed to be an exaggeration if u couldn’t tell 😭😭

Emma was already thriving through motherhood. Although little Louis was a bit of a light sleeper, she did not mind spending more time with him in the morning, while her husband was still fast asleep.
This morning time was especially meaningful to her, since she had been called back to work quite soon after the birth. After all, the studio had been in the middle of set production, and her paintings were necessary for it to be able to hit the deadline. Unlike Niall, who was at a point in his career where he could take breaks as much as he wished, she could not afford the risk of losing the job she only just got. Thankfully, Niall had happily offered to look after their son by himself, when she was gone.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
To Niall, on the other hand, the new living situation was much more troublesome. Of course, he deeply loved their child and he was happy to spend the day with him, but the stress started to take a toll on him.
He had been looking forward to being a family with Emma and Louis so much, so why did it all seem so wrong now? The baby's screams were constantly ringing in his head, his mind felt like it was never really there, and nothing he did was right. He could not help but feel like the bond with his son was just not there, and any attempt to fix it failed. Maybe he simply was not fit to be a parent.
Looking back, there was one thing he had always leaned on when his feelings were getting too much for him to deal with. It was easier to make it fade away than to bother others with it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
When Emma returned from work, Niall withdrew to the bedroom to get some peace and quiet. But even then, doubts were filling his brain to the point of giving him the worst headache. Frustrated with himself, he grabbed the bottle of whisky he had stayed away from for too long now. Just a few drinks to quiet the noise, then he would head to bed anyway.
As he felt the liquid run down his throat, he leaned back on the big chair and blinked away the tears forming in his eyes all of a sudden. Soon, he lost count of the refills as he felt himself drifting away and eventually falling asleep.
[TRANSCRIPT]
Emma: "Good morning, my beautiful angel!"
...
Niall: "Em-! ...shit, she's at work, isn't she?"
Louis: "AAAAAAAAAAAA"
Niall: "How did you even break this thing?"
Louis: *babbles*
Niall: "I- I don't know what-"
Louis: *screaming continues*
Niall: "No, no, please! What did I do? What do you want me to do?"
...
Niall: "Finally... quiet..."
Niall: "I'll just have once glass to take the edge off... That's not too bad. Just... one... Maybe two..."
Niall: *pained groan*

So…one of my favourite headcanons is that the Potter family are Indian. (Those of you who’ve read my Grindeldore/Wolfstar dancer fic might recall that Fleamont Potter, James’ father and the UK Prime Minister, is Indian in that. Funnily enough, our real life Prime Minister is a British Indian Hindu who became PM last year. On Diwali. Yeah, that was an…interesting day in the family. Still not entirely sure how I feel about it.)
Anyway - here are some headcanons about James Potter being Indian, some of which are based around how I actually grew up. (Note: there will probably be more as I think of them!):
When Holi comes around, James wakes the others up by pelting them with coloured powder. He does it every year and every year they fall for it. They also pelt everyone with coloured powder throughout the holiday. It took weeks for the paint to be cleaned fully. (Some people suspected Dumbledore deliberately let it stay like that because he liked the colours.)
Sirius got really angry the first time he heard someone call James a Paki. He doesn’t know what it means, but he never wants to see that look on James’ face again. He absolutely lost it when James told him what it meant. (For those of you who don’t know what it means, it’s an incredibly racist slur towards south Asians; along similar lines of using the n-word to a black person. This is also why James gets so angry whenever anyone uses the word Mudblood - because he knows how that shit feels.)
Sirius helps James create magical rangoli patterns during Diwali. They also take over the kitchen for an evening trying to make Indian sweets. The results are mixed-looking, but they all taste good, and the house elves get some great new dishes.
Every time a festival falls on a full moon, they always celebrate a few days after so Remus can join in. (He hugely appreciates the sweets.)
James initially wasn’t thrilled that his Animagus form is a stag, since a deer is the form one of the bad guys took in the Ramayana when he triggered the events that led to Rama’s wife being kidnapped.
When James’ father died, he had a traditional Hindu funeral. Traditionally, the eldest son leads the proceedings, but when James broke down, Sirius stepped in to continue. In that moment, James loved Sirius more than he could put into words.
James also taught the Marauders some Hindi so they could talk privately, as well as some Indian magic.
James, Lily and Sirius actually go to india for their wedding outfits. Lily also has magical mendhi patterns done by James’ aunts and cousins. James also had to gently explain to Lily that wearing white is associated with funerals.
Petunia showed up to James and Lily’s wedding in a white dress to try and upstage the bride. She’s very confused to realise a) Lily is not wearing white, and b) a lot of James’ relatives are looking at her weirdly, because she’s wearing a funeral colour.
At James and Lily’s engagement party, James’ aunties kept trying to set Sirius up with their daughters and teasing him about getting married. They shut up when Sirius snogged Remus in front of everyone. James wasn’t even mad that his engagement was briefly upstaged.
James has a book of Indian tales and legends passed down from his father. He read them to Harry at bedtime. Lily would smile and watch from the doorway. He also taught his friends some classic Indian songs to sing to Harry.
Every year on Raksha Bandhan, James ties a rakhi on Sirius’ wrist and charms them so they’ll never come undone. One night, Sirius noticed the threads of one of them coming loose. That night was October 31st, 1981.

This is sooo long, I hope you won't think I'm crazy :) sorry for any mistakes 💺 anon
1) Started doing some yoga at home in my spare time (in grey sweatpants because it's hotter) and it got me thinking, he'd love watching you do your thing, actually he might even help.
2) So we all agree that he's very observant and if he sees that something catches your eye he will buy it for you. So window shopping with him would be impossible!! You'll also have to explain to him that just because you like how a dress looks, it doesn't mean you want to buy it.
3) While on the topic of buying something, we change things up and buy him a bouquet of flowers? He's all "Oh thank you darlin" smiling and trying to keep his cool but inside he's screaming because his lover?? got him?? flowers??
4) Neck kisses!! He loves giving them to you: lazily laying in bed? Neck kisses. Not paying attention to him? Neck kisses. Taking a bath? Neck kisses. Just imagine his lips, slowly leaving a trail of kisses all over your neck, he's in no rush.
5) How do you think he'll act if one of his mission takes longer than promised? And it's not like a week or something, but 2 MONTHS. I feel like he'd definitely get more agitated and snap more often than usual. And when he finally gets home? He's all over you.
6) Plus, since we're talking about missions and being easily agitated,... sending him some photos? Not revealing too much but just enough to make his pants feel tighter. Add a "Sitting here, unkissed." comment and you're in for a ride once he gets back.
7) I noticed I don't write his full codename but I really just like Tan. He also gets used to you calling him Tan/Tang so one day you hit him with the "What page are you at, Tangerine?" he'll stare at you like :O
8) You said he makes heart eyes at his lover, could you describe more on what his gaze looks like? (I love 'soft for his girl only' men)
9) ALSO the 'says he's not thirsty when you need to pee' post made me cry bricks that's SO HIM!! But like how would you even react to that? I think I'll just look at him in disbelief.
Assassin!reader 1) First I want to say if I was on that train and saw him tossing that cig on the ground he'll def get an earful from me. Anyway,
2) Reader getting injured while on a mission, like she got stabbed. The moment he hears her scream, Tan is grabbing the guy by the hair, throwing him on the floor and starts beating the shit out of him. (hot)
3) Speaking of getting injured, if reader ever gets hurt beacuse of his occupation (someone wanted to get back at him) he wouldn't know what to do with himself. He'll never forget himself if something targeted towards him happened to harm you instead. There are times where he thinks it would be best to break up to keep you safe (noo baby :(( )
4) I'm always talking about badass reader but what if she actually starts panicking? We found the son dead and realize we're screwed so he has to calm us down. (It will never not be funny to me how he was losing his shit over the briefcase but couldn't be bothered to care about WD's dead son)
+ platonic lem (shoutout to my boy) 1) Ok don't get me wrong, he's the ultimate hypeman and wingman, but imagine he's so fed up seeing his brother not making any moves that he just tells us to "please date his sorry ass"
2) Picking his side in arguments? Tan is confident we'll agree with him when the three of us bicker over something silly, only for us to side with Lem because when has he been wrong? This leads to some funny replies and Tan's overdramatic ass.
3) Giving him a handmade gift? Like a wood comb in the form of a slice of lemon and we painted it to make it look like one? He'd be like a child on christmas day.
OR just imagine for a second that there's this super rare Thomas figurine and we break bones just to get it for him (kidding)
4) You said a while back that Tan isn't the type to ask philosophical questions but Lem would just for fun (and to annoy). We're getting into some deep conversations while on a 2 hour train ride to pass time (and to annoy :))
5) Playing phasmophobia with them?? I say that because it's a horror game and we're screaming our lungs out but really any team work game would lead into chaos. God forbid it's something else like monopoly or uno. (And if we also add Ladybug? The house is down)
Mini playlist (these are some songs taken from my playlist of him) Pretty old man by No Buses ; Next 2 U by Ego Apartment ; All night by Men I Trust ; Let's skip to the wedding by Eyedress ; Messages from the stars by The Ruh Band ; Air by Men I Trust ; Head over heels by Tears For Fears.
would never think such thing and apologies for any mistakes on my behalf, I wrote this on my phone 💌
1- grey is honestly the way to go!! and YES YES YES!!! like you could be doing it in the living room and he’d insist on staying. pretending he’s watching the tv, but we all know he’s not
2- 😭😭 yes!! would have to reiterate many times that just bc you looked at it for 3 seconds doesn’t mean you actually want it. don’t think he understands that. “you looked at it, so you want it, right?” and you’d be like “no, it’s a cute pattern but I wouldn’t wear it”
3- AAAAH YES!? he deserves flowers too, he’s just an angelic cutie. I want him to keep the petals and use them for something special… FOR FLOWER GIRLS WHEN YOU GET MARRIED (probably won’t, but uhm I want him to, so that’s enough)
4- and why would you put that thought in my head??? hm? can’t stop thinking about it 🥴 and standing behind you doing it when you do stuff around the house🫠
5- he would get SOOO riled up and irritated. and 2 months ???? oh he’d loose the plot. he’d be snapping at lem, being a right dick just bc he wants to get home. he’d be texting you apologies constantly, telling you how sorry he is and how he’ll make it up to you when he’s home
6- so naughty, I love it !! like a picture of the shoes you’re wearing but it’s really just showing off your thighs. and he gets so flustered (jut bc he’s so frustrated and it’s been a long time) and texts you back a few mins later … wink. talking of pictures… would it be gross to say how he sends a pic of his hand after (🥴) and we tease him for it
7- me too!! I call him tan all the time, I think it’s cute tbh. he probs think he’s in trouble or done something wrong if said tangerine
8- right so! I think he’d have the side of his head resting on his fist and he’s watching you talk to someone (lem, a friend, idk, anyone) and it would be the slightest change and they’d gradually get softer. brows would curl upwards in the middle ever so slightly !!! you wouldn’t be able to notice but the change would be stark once he relaxes his face/ snaps out of it. his pupils would widen bc I say so
9- 😭😭😭😭 im thinking we’ll just stare at him quizzically, mouth open as if to say something, but nothing comes out bc how do you even respond 😭 ?? maybe make a hum and tap his legs as you get up to go pee, saying “right” or “okay then”
assassin reader
1- that whole scene ????????? the way he flicks it ??????? 🫠🫠 fuck me
2- oh my god, yeah!!? he’d enter a zone and wouldn’t hear anything anyone else is saying
3- he’d NEVER EVER EVER forgive himself EVER!!! he’d definitely push you away and try to call it quits so that he doesn’t get you killed. he would rather lose you temporarily than forever (although he wouldn’t even want to do that)
4- I feel like the moment you have a freak out, everyone else does. like if you’re losing your mind????? yeah everyone is gonna start panickin
platonic lem
1- he’d get so fed up. the hints he’s dropping between you isn’t enough so he just has to interject himself. I imagine him grabbing you both by the wrists and holding you both in front. saying “ask each other out. I can’t take it anymore”
2- 😭😭😭😭 yes!! he just assumes you’d have his corner (you do most times!! if not all) but not this time and he’d be so wounded ??? (and you’re right, lem is never wrong) I imagine tan saying “that’s it, I don’t love you anymore” or “who even are you?” or “you’re picking that nob over me?”
3- wtf that’s so thoughtful and creative??????????? actually melting!! he’d honestly cherish the shit out of it!!
4- yes yes yes to your scenario. and lem def would !!! especially when it’s time to sleep and you’re all in the same hotel room and it’s late and you’re tired and he perches up from his pillow like “do you reckon we live in a matrix?” and tans like “shut the fuck up” and buries his head in the pillow and then you make it worse by saying “ive always wondered that. what about the truman show?” and lem perks up even more and says “you know, ive never actually seen that. is it any good?” and we’d be like “yes, you should watch it. we can when get back home” he’d reply “is it on netlix?” and tans grumbles get increasingly louder and just to annoy him more, we’d say “god, what’s his problem? if he’s tired he should just go to sleep” and lem would laugh hard, resulting in a punch from tan. and tan would get up and be like “gonna go for a piss and a fag. you’re both getting on my tits”
5- I answered an ask like that a while back and you’re so right. would be utter chaos and you’d all fall out
you have just good music taste!! and they suit him very well
as always, I love your ideas!! they’re just mwah

hello! o/
not sure if you're still taking requests, but if so, i'd love to req. the bachelors with an artist s/o!
thank you for your time either way!<3
Finally! My reblog of that anon summoning post actually work- I mean hi, anon! 👋 Yes, I'm still taking requests ☺️
I hope you don't mind if I write about SVE bachelors too. If you don't know about SVE mod, don't worry, I'll separate the bachelors' answer to vanilla game and Stardew valley expanded mod so you don't confuse them.
Thanks for the ask! Enjoy!
Stardew Valley Bachelors with artist!Farmer s/o:
Alex:
Alex knows that his partner is incredibly talented, so he wasn't surprised when he found out that the Farmer turned out to be a great artist. Another fact about Alex's partner, he will tell everyone and brag about how good his s/o is.
Sometimes he will joke that the Farmer pays so much attention to the object of drawing that he can even become jealous.
Alex doesn't hesitate to flex in front of the Farmer, showing his muscles and giving them a reason to draw him in all his glory.
Despite his pride, he blushes a little when he sees how beautifully his s/o drew Alex. Comment from s/o that in reality Alex will always be prettier anyway will turn the athlete into a tomato.
He really likes your summer seascapes.
It still remains a mystery to him how s/o manages to combine farming and painting at the same time.
Alex always supports your hobby, even if he doesn't understand some types of art like abstractionism.
Sam:
Wow, he didn't know that they draw so well, it's so cool!
Constantly asks for permission to look at the Farmer's sketchbook, if they don't mind of course.
Sam will be delighted with how beautifully and in detail his s/o draws the characters of his favorite comics and video games.
Sometimes Sam will ask Farmer to draw something funny on his hand. It looks like a beautiful tattoo. Jodi politely asks the Farmer to stop drawing in her eldest son's arms, as Sam refuses to wash his hands before eating, afraid to wipe the drawing off his skin.
He will hang all their drawings on the wall to admire during relaxation or musical rehearsal.
Some drawings he will keep in a special box as a treasure.
Please don't show him food and drink still lifes - their s/o paints food so beautifully and believably that he immediately wants to eat something. He laughs at Farmer's joke when they warn Sam not to inadvertently eat the painting itself.
Sebastian:
Cool
His s/o is full of mysteries and talents, isn't it?
Sebby will be interested to hear how and when exactly the Farmer began to get involved in drawing.
He'll be pleasantly surprised if his s/o shows him a science fiction comic they've drawn. If the Farmer wants to publish the comic and concept art on the Internet, then Sebastian will create a dedicated site for their publication.
His entire monitor is plastered with stickers drawn by his s/o in the form of cute frogs. No matter how many times Abigail and Sam tease him about it, he will not remove the stickers.
If the Farmer draws digital arts, Sebastian will always put them on the desktop of his computer.
For their s/o birthday, Sebby will give them a nice electronic sketchbook.
Sebastian sometimes gets nervous when Robin comes into his room, because he is afraid that his mother will accidentally throw out one of his s/o drawings. Robin seems to know that the drawing on Sebastian's desk should not be touched, but Sebby still sometimes hides them in the table, just in case.
Elliott:
Marvelous! Wonderful! Elliott didn't expect to meet another creative soul. The valley is indeed full of talented people!
Even the most ordinary sketch, which, according to his own s/o, is unremarkable, Elliott keeps as the apple of the Eye.
He will be happy if the Farmer offers to draw illustrations for his new novel he's writing.
While he is touring for his another book signing, Elliott will search for handmade sketchbooks and expensive paint sets as gifts for his precious s/o.
Elliott loves how beautifully they portray the landscape of their farm. He will hang this picture in a beautiful frame on the wall in the most prominent place in the house.
One day, after a few strong drinks, he will jokingly offer s/o to draw him half-naked. The poor writer will immediately blush if the Farmer seriously agrees to this idea. The portrait came out beautiful, but they both decided to keep the painting a secret. There are some paintings that are not created for prying eyes.
Elliott will put up a new closet in his room for all his s/o paintings, drawings, and creative figures.
Harvey:
Harvey isn't surprised when Farmer says they can draw. They are talented in everything they undertake.
Harvey is used to their doodles on his workbook and notes. The Farmer in the clinic is a frequent visitor, and sometimes they cannot restrain their creative impulse. Harvey doesn't mind, but please don't draw in his documents!
Every time s/o fills Harvey's lunch box for him at work, they leaves notes with cute and motivating drawings. Today is a note with a pun, tomorrow it is a painted kitten in a cup that wish Harvey a good day. Harvey smiles warmly every time at the sight of such small messages from his loved one, which set him up in a good mood.
He constantly massages his s/o hands when they starts to ache from frequent drawings and farm work. No hard work today, doctor's order!
Was very surprised when he found a whole stack of papers with sketches of his portrait. The Farmer says that Harvey is his main muse, so there is nothing to be surprised about.
He is amazed at how accurately they draw model aircraft.
A little embarrassed when his s/o asks him to pose for a portrait. The Farmer tells him to just be himself the way the Farmer loves him, and Harvey relaxes, once again noting how talented his s/o is.
Shane:
Heh, neat.
"Can you draw a dick on the wall at Joja Market?"
Shane please
He constantly smiles when his s/o shows him a book of sketches. Shane could listen to them forever.
Shane himself is not a fan of great art, but will listen with interest to the Farmer about different styles of drawing.
Stickers and funny pictures with farm animals are his favorites. He especially likes how they drew cute chickens.
What, this chicken sticker was inspired by Shane's favorite Charlie? Shane is about to die of happiness.
His s/o sat with Jas on more than one occasion and helped her with posters for contests and events. + into the piggy bank of good memories for Shane.
The Farmer always asks Shane for fresh sketch ideas. Shane usually says he's untalented when it comes to imagination, but he always comes up with a funny and crazy idea for new s/o drawings.
"So, you haven't changed your mind yet about drawing on the Joja wall di-?"
SHANE NO-
Stardew Valley Expanded Bachelors with artist!Farmer s/o:
Vicror:
:O
There is a whole book with Victor's portrait. And they are all so beautiful, why did his s/o hide it from him?!
Well, they didn't hide it, but Victor would like to know that his partner is the next Leonardo da Vinci!
Victor does not hesitate to give you a huge set of high-quality expensive paints, colored pencils and sketchbooks.
He is very glad that the Farmer and his mother have a common interest. Olivia and Victor's partner often arrange private drawing lessons at home, remembering to constantly call Victor and show him the paintings on the canvas. Great family time!
Although Victor is more knowledgeable in design and drafting himself, he doesn't mind getting some advice from his s/o.
He jokes and wipes the Farmer's hands and face if they don't notice they're covered in paint.
Usually, Victor is a little shy about asking the Farmer to draw something specific, such as landscape with a bridge. But his s/o seems to read Victor's thoughts and in a week gives Victor a beautiful picture with famous bridges. Victor will be surprised more than once how good and accurately they draw.
He also often shares his drawings of bridge designs with them and asks for their opinion.
Magnus:
Not to say that he is a fan of art, but the way s/o draws natural landscapes is very mesmerizing. The painting is like a window to another world!
With permission from his s/o, he casts a quick cleaning spell on them, as the Farmer always manages to stain themself and their clothes with paint.
Magnus and his s/o often go to the forest, where they find a beautiful scenic spot. The Wizard sits in the lotus position to meditate, and the Farmer sits nearby and quietly draws a new picture. It may seem unremarkable to some, but Magnus appreciates such calm moments more than anything.
"Can you pose for me please?" Wait, what? They want to draw him? Why not.
Magnus comments that he looks better on canvas than in reality. For which he receives an angry look from the Farmer and the answer that on the canvas they are unlikely to ever depict their favorite wizard as beautiful as he is in reality.
Merciful Yoba, Farmer, why are you so perfect in everything?
Lance:
Farmer, adventurer and artist... My my, their s/o is an incredible person.
He repeatedly notices how they buried their noses in the diary and make notes about adventures with beautiful illustrations.
A little jealous of his s/o time management: the Farmer has time to do farm work, protect the valley, and paint at the same time!
Nevertheless, he suggests at least sometimes to rest and not to overestimate their strength. Tired hands will affect the ability to hold a weapon firmly, which can end badly in a fight with monsters.
Lance is hard to embarrass, but when their s/o shows him sketches of Lance himself, the brave adventurer's cheeks turn a little pink. They painted him like an Olympic god.
"You are like an Olympic god, I could not miss such beauty and not draw you" Thank you very much, now Lance's cheeks are now rosier than his hair.

A Case for Disney’s “Strange World”
No one seems to know anything about this movie. I didn’t before I saw it yesterday. I went to the movies on a whim and chose this one because the pickings were a bit slim and this one looked like the best out of the bunch.
Guys. This movie is good.
Disney has done this film real dirty by not marketing it properly. I mean, it probably won’t ever take over the world by storm like Encanto did, but it deserves better than what it’s getting. As I said on my Twitter, it is 100% a stunningly beautiful solarpunk film and everyone needs to go see it.
Here’s a brief synopsis since the trailer was garbage and no one saw it anyway:
***The Spoiler-Free Zone***
The story mostly focuses on Searcher, the son of famous explorer Jaeger Clade whose mission in life is to find a passage over the impassable mountains that surrounds their community of Avalonia. While on an expedition to try and scale the peaks, Searcher finds Pando, a mysterious plant that generates a renewable source of electricity. Searcher, tired of exploring and wanting to quit the life, takes the Pando back to Avalonia. Jaeger, still determined to find a way through the mountains, keeps going alone, never to return.
25 years later, Pando has transformed Avalonia into a bustling sci-fi uptopia. Searcher is renowned for having discovered Pando, and now lives a quiet life growing Pando crops with his wife and teenage son. One day, however, the Pando starts dying. In search of a cure, one of Jaeger’s former crew comes to Searcher asking for his help to lead an expedition down underground to figure out what’s killing it and save the society they’ve built with it.
If that sounds like a movie you’d like to see, stop reading now and go see it. Because from here, I’ll be busting out spoilers to talk about themes and why this movie is solarpunk. So I’ll be writing as if you, dear reader, have seen the film.
***The Spoiler Zone***
First of all, this movie is goddamn gorgeous. I really liked the opening comic-panel sequence and all, but I fell in love with the visuals once the story opened up and began showing us Searcher’s farm and Avalonia. Aesthetically, this is about as solarpunk as you can get. Art nouveau-inspired stained glass windows, visible mending on clothes, and really cool-looking tech that’s not at all in conflict with its environment.
That’s not even touching on the world inside Avalonia. I loved the shades of pinks and purples. And the creature design! Absolute chef’s kiss. That whole part of the movie reminded me of this one book I’ve read called ‘Expedition’ by Wayne Douglas Barlowe, which is just about exploring the ecosystem of alien life-forms on a planet called Darwin IV. It’s mostly a collection of really detailed sci-fi paintings of alien creatures. Fantastic stuff. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if someone at the Disney studio had a copy and passed it around for inspiration during production.
In terms of the characters, i thought everyone was engaging and all the voice actors gave really good performances. I really liked Jaeger in particular (yes, he comes back, of course), but all three of the main characters were really well developed.
But, of course, there is The Gay Character. We all know about HIM.
I kid, I kid, I capitalize with irony. They did a good job with him, actually.
I’ve seen a lot of people on Twitter respond to the idea of Ethan Clade with a very cynical shrug without having seen the movie. I have to say, I think people would be genuinely pleased with his portrayal if they gave the movie a chance. There’s no goofy wink-wink LeFou-ing about here. He’s a main character throughout the movie, his love interest is presented upfront with sincerity, and everyone within the world accepts it as normal. He’s not fighting anyone to be gay or trying to hide it, nor is it his one defining trait. He just has a crush on a dude and his dad embarrasses him a bit in front of him. Normal teenage stuff. His character arc is about sorting out his identify in relation to his family, especially his dad. Being gay literally has nothing to do with his character any more than his mom and dad being straight. Which is how it should be.
The story is a fun ride. It’s really well-paced. I was never bored, personally. There are some really great action scenes, some cute comedy with a three-legged dog and a goo creature called Splat, and the emotional beats all made sense with the characters and moved the story forward. It has a lot of qualities that reminded me of Up! and some parts of The Incredibles without directly being a rip-off of either of those. It’s its own thing, and I look forward to being able to watch it again on DVD/streaming.
***I know some of you kept reading anyway so for real, this is where I’m about to get into True Spoilers so save yourselves now y’allllllll***
Ultimately, this is a movie about legacy. Specifically, the legacy we want to leave our children (i.e. those who will come after us). I love the way this movie manages to take the existential crisis we face now in our blessed, beautiful world and condense it into a story where that issue of legacy, of our priorities, and of who we want to be is made clear.
Jaeger Clade is the society that brought us to where we are now. He’s a loud, brash, bush-whacking old man who’s driven to overcome obstacles. Searcher Clade is us now. Not looking to conquer for conquering’s sake, but complacent and only interested in continuing the status quo. He’s proud of what he’s made and sees no reason to change. Ethan Clade is who we should want to be. Someone looking for a third option, who wants to co-exist with the world around them, and be curious without being destructive.
These three outlooks correlate directly to the reveal that Avalonia is actually a living creature, and Pando is a disease that is literally wrapped around the living, beating heart of their world and slowly killing it. It was Jaeger’s drive to explore that led to the discovery of Pando. Searcher was unintentionally making the problem worse by growing more and more Pando to fuel their society. And throughout the movie, everyone is working together to save Pando, and it’s Ethan alone who tries to get them to stop and think more about what they’re looking at, and that things might not be as simple and straight-forward as they appear.
And this is why I think this movie is solarpunk, and not just aesthetically. Obviously, there are direct parallels to our use of fossil fuels, but I think it’s important that in the universe of Strange World, Pando is not an obvious poison or something they have to destructively mine to get. It’s a plant. Something that appears so innocuous at first, but under the surface, grows into a huge, overwhelming problem. No one is an evil bad guy looking to make profit off Pando or keep on destroying the world because it makes them money to do so. Everyone in the movie does what they do because they think they’re doing the right thing. What is the right and wrong answer isn’t always clear, and rather than being a result of them being outright evil, it’s just because they don’t fully understand the consequences.
While I was in the theater watching this, I thought about the Himalayan blackberries that have taken over the Pacific Northwest. It was introduced in the late 1800s by a botanist named Luther Burbank. He prized it for how much produce one blackberry bush could make in a single season, as opposed to the native blackberries that made smaller berries in smaller quantities. His intent was genuinely for the good. He wanted to propagate a crop that could accessibly feed the growing urban areas of the PNW. Create a food forest, in a sense. He sold the seeds because it was easy to grow and would feed people.
Obviously, it’s not bad to want to feed people. But now the damn plant has invested everything, and while the berries are still very much edible (and people do still eat them), it’s also created impenetrable thickets that kill everything around them and interfere with the ability of wildlife to get around. It got out of control. Even though the intent was meant well, the outcome created a problem that is now essentially impossible to overcome. People try anyway, because we have to, but the odds are not in our favor.
Solarpunk isn’t about growing more plants or having more trees in our cities or building solar panels and wind farms everywhere. Well, it’s not JUST that. Of course those things are good things, but every solution offered needs the proper context to work. And that’s the real nature of the movement, right? It’s finding solutions that lead to the best outcomes for everyone. Being invested in our world, learning about it, falling in love with it, discovering the intricacies of how everything is interconnected and how we fit into that. Everything we do will have inevitable impacts on everything around us, but what those impacts are can change radically depending on how carefully we consider our actions. We know we have to change. The question is, how do we change? How do we change for everyone?
And that is the ending message of the film. The heroes choose to save Avalonia. They destroy the Pando, knowing that it means they can’t have their society the way it was anymore. They choose that, because it is right to do. And the movie ends with the resilience of humanity as they come together and try to find a different solution to build their society on, the third solution of people like Ethan Clade who bring together the bravery and curiosity of Jaeger with the steadfastness and dedication of Searcher, and create a world that’s built on understanding and co-existence. In a world that constantly feels like it could teeter over at any minute, that’s a beautiful message to see in a goddamn Disney film.
P.S. I just want to say before I go that I really really really want Ethan’s boyfriend’s sweater. When you see it, you’ll understand, but I NEED the sweater in my life more than air.

Any Rhys Hcs?
ty for the ask!! i have a lot for him, so here’s what i can remember off the top of my head lol
his hyperfixation is the ecology of the flora of daemos (his favorite flower to study is the lotus)
though he doesn’t wear a lot, he loves gold jewelry — he wears golden stud earrings as well as a gold septum ring
he likes to take care of his nails; they’re usually painted dark blue
he specializes in illusion magic — he can make an intricate room out of thin air, or make a person or thing completely change its form
he had his first kiss with asch when they were 14 (they dont talk about it)
when he was younger, he entered the sacred library by himself, only to be found by lady grandma and thoroughly scolded for putting his life in danger
he has a tattoo of a lotus flower on the back of his neck as a tribute to his mother, who had the same tattoo
as for his backstory:
his mother was actually a general in the kingdom’s army, and the highest ranking among the king’s knights — known as General Amaryllis, or Mar for short. her and the king (Asch’s father) were very close friends, and he often went to her regarding important political decisions. she fell in love with a lower class village woman, and soon had Rhys with her (magic!). Mar intended to raise him as a warrior like herself, but when he developed a love for books and learning at a young age, she asked Lady Grandma to be his mentor so he could get a proper education.
Rhys didn’t get to see his other mom very often, as her village was far from the castle. Mar was very secretive about their relationship, so nobody knew who his other parent was. when he was still a child, Mar sacrificed herself to save the king in a battle. the royal family did not know what to do with her now orphaned son, as they had no way of finding any of his other family. mourning the loss of his closest friend and advisor, the king was reluctant to give him up to be adopted by another family. eventually, they ended up letting him stay in the castle as Lady Grandma’s pupil.
though Rhys has complicated feelings toward his mother and her choice, he still greatly respects her and looks up to her for her valiance in battle and loyalty to the king. as for his other mother, he hardly remembers her — and prefers not to think about her, for fear of opening up old wounds and possibly learning something that would change him.
anyway, that’s all i have in terms of headcanons! tysm <33

poison in the well
sam (sdv) x yandere!reader
abusive relationship, violence, extreme jealousy, sebastian hate, angst
this is based on my own experience with my dear sammy. after trying to find cute sam art and finding a lot of sam/sebastian everytime he'd go to the saloon on friday id get sad. until i modded him to be a yandere and then everything was fine! so anyway. might add another part to this later.
"You were out late again."
"Ah- Sorry I got caught up talking to Seb, almost beat him tonight!"
"...So you were with him?"
"Yeah? You know I was! We always hang out at the saloon with Abby."
Fingers rap against the handcrafted dining room table. Like tiny drums daring to disturb the still silence of the night. Something not even the usually loud animals would do.
"Are you... angry..?" Sam's voice is tepid, it reminds you of a child scared to be scolded. It's something you love about him, this hopeful innocence as if bad things couldn't really exist in this world.
Infuriating.
He spends all night out with that man and expects you not to be a little annoyed? When you get out of the mines at 9 and come home eagerly only to find him gone? After everything you did and you were so eager to see him at home?
"I don't like getting home before you."
"I-I know but it's just one night..?"
You can feel the anger in your chest rising. Sebastian fills your head like a ghost, haunting your thoughts and choking out your words. The image seductively places his hands on Sam's hips, a cigarette lazily held limp between his painted lips. Sam has one awkwardly held between his own as well. Sebastian begins to move the two bodys to the rhythm of a painfully slow song, his mouth moving closer to Sam's, the butts of the cigarettes kissing in a hazy blur of smoke, alcohol, and lust. Sickening. You want to throw up. Your chest hurts.
"Y/N?? Are you ok? You look sick. You should lie down-" As he moves closer to your frozen form the smell of cigarettes fills your nostrils knocking out of your daze.
You look up at him with wide eyes, your pupils so small and dilated you look unhinged. Fear sets into Sam when you grab his arm with too much strength that he knows you could break his arm if you tried. Your head tilts to the side as you look into his emerald eyes.
"Y/N... you're scaring me-"
"Why... Why do you... smell like him...?" Your words are slow, laboured, as if it's taking everything in you to spit them out. You don't want the answer. Everything aches.
"Like who??"
"Sebastian." You spit at him the name tastes like venom in your mouth. He's the poison seeping into your marriage.
"I-I? I had a cigarette with him. I don't see-"
Sam can't finish his sentence before he's violently pinned to the table. Your strength from working tirelessly is no match for his soft skin. He bruises so easily under you, like always.
"I won't let him have you. I won't... He can't..."
"Wh-whoa hold on... H-hey y/n l-lets talk about this! Y-your'e hurting me."
You can't hear him properly, it feels like he's talking through an ocean. All you can think about is the sickening smell of cigarettes, Sebastian, the time Jodi told you that she always expected her son to end up with Sebastian, their closeness, that stupid whore.
Sam continues to whimper and plea on deaf ears as you hold him down. Your mind is racing a mile a minute as you boil with anger at Sebastian and you desperately try to come up with a way to keep Sam safe from him. Everytime your brain attempts a cohesive thought about the current position you're in with your husband more doubt and fear swallows your mind.
"Y/n... please...." Sam's voice is so soft, so gentle. Has he talked to Sebastian with this voice? Is he begging you to let him run back to that horrible man?
"Won't... let you go... Can't." Your breathing is laboured as you lean closer to him. "Even if you hate me. Even if you loathe me. Even if you love him-"
"I don't love him!" It doesn't reach you.
"I won't let you go Sammy. My Sammy. Have to protect you. You have to stay inside." That was the answer wasn't it? Never let Sam leave. You were a genius! You dragged him by his aching wrist over to the basement door. Tomorrow you'd go to Clint's and have some chains made, tonight it was enough to throw him in the basement and lock the door.
That's how Sam's new life began.

The Prince of Wayne (Summary)
I admit, I really thought this was a sure loss. I did not expect that this would win when I set the poll.
I don’t know where to start. I also know I asked that poll ages ago, but here it is guys. Finally.
I am still working on A Future With You Summary, at this time of posting, it is at 8k words and I am halfway through the story.
I am honestly surprised this won. And I think it won because everyone had a misconception about what this story is. This happens in modern times in a university. This isn’t about a Prince or anything historical. If that is even the reason why this won.
 With that said, I’m not sure where to start. 
 Firstly, I think you guys have to be aware this is inspired by shows like ‘Meteor Garden’, ‘Boys Over Flowers’ also known as ‘Hana yori Dango’. 
 Secondly, I’ve only ever seen Meteor Garden though, and my memory of it is blotchy. But anyway, the new girl goes to this elite school and there is this group of famous guys, and the plot is kinda of dumb (unrealistic really), but it was enjoyable as a kid. And the classic scene in Asia where the mother pays the new girl (who fell in love with the leader of said famous group of guys) to leave her son. 
 Thirdly, those points I mentioned are what inspired me to make this AU. And which is why the title is “The Prince of Wayne”. I struggled with this if I should have had ‘The Princes of Wayne’ because Bruce did adopt a lot of sons. But I figured since Damian is the only one with the family name, by using the singular form it is more targeted to him specifically. Because it is a story more about him (and Raven).
 In conclusion, keep those points in mind, I thought it was necessary information for you to know before we get into the actual fic summary. And this is not supposed to be very serious, of course, there are dark themes, but it won’t be the focus, which honestly is pretty glossed over. It’s more on just school life really. It is also like a commentary/ comedy about these kinds of stories. Raven is very self-aware, that is for sure.
 This might be the closest to me writing this though, I hope you guys enjoy it.
THE START
 The story starts with a new girl named Raven. She got into the most prestigious school in Gotham. Everyone knew that she was just some scholar/sponsored student. And in stories like this, there are a number of people who look down at her for it. She is just the black sheep of this elite school.
 And as this kind of story goes, of course, she doesn’t know of the silent rules of the campus. Like for example the off-limits ‘The Sons of Mr. Wayne’ or ‘Sons of Wayne’ or maybe ‘Mr. Wayne’s Princes’, which is why the title is the way it is, it was supposed to be a play on their clique name. 
 Anyway, Raven didn’t pay much attention to it. Why would she? She wasn’t interested in that kind of stuff and she was there to study. She minded her own business.
 Someone was showing her around campus who also kindly explained the Sons of Wayne to her. With the way her tour guide was sharing the information, it seemed like these men were celebrities. It is revealed that Raven doesn’t even know who Bruce Wayne is, and her fellow schoolmate is shocked. This would paint Raven as such a country bumpkin. She doesn’t mind because like always she minds her own business. 
 Raven’s guide tells her that Richard “Dick” Greyson is in the Business Department doing his master's. Tim Drake is in the IT and/or computer science department of the school. Jason Todd has been shifting around for a while now and can’t seem to stick to one Department, but currently, he is in (honestly forgot this information but maybe) Psychology (he likely heard it was easy and he always goes to what is easy). Damian Wayne is in Chemistry or Biology (I am not so sure too, but more certain with this than Jason’s), the guide would say that she heard Damian was good with computers but she (along with everyone else was) surprised when he didn’t proceed with anything computer related. People believed that he did this so he wouldn’t be overshadowed by Tim. But all of Wayne’s sons were known to be smart. Well, they were sure Jason was if he just tried, but sadly he doesn’t. Raven, if I recall, is a history major because she was compensating for the lack of knowledge she has about history, which will be mentioned later (her origins are pretty dark sadly).
 This would be a good way to introduce the title though maybe Raven was asking why they are Bruce Wayne’s kids if only one had the name, Wayne. And she would be told Bruce adopted the others but Damian is Bruce’s biological son, thus he is known as ‘The Prince of Wayne’, perhaps also believed to be the heir apparent because he was directly related to Bruce.
 Anyways, moving on, at times she’d see the crowd surrounding one of Bruce Wayne’s sons but she can’t see the said son because of the crowd. She would make commentaries that the school doesn’t seem like school most times especially when these mysterious sons are involved. 
 In one of those crowd-filled insanity, Raven was running from a crowd and hid on a rooftop and stumbled on a man sleeping. He had black hair and he opened his eyes and groaned, glaring at her. He had green eyes.
 This was how Damian Wayne and Raven Roth met. 
 At first, he thought that she was one of those crazy fan classmates or whatever, but she looked at him like he was a creep. He even told her to get lost because this was his spot and he didn’t want to have to find a new hiding place. She’d scowl because this rooftop isn’t his. And that is how he’d realized she didn’t know him or eventually as they interacted, he’d realise that she didn’t know him.
 The rooftop is where they’d meet and eventually become friends. 
 She would even complain to him about how absurd it is that these schoolmates of hers are obsessed with Bruce's sons. He’d chuckle and listen to her. She’d even rant how the youngest, whatever his name was, skipped classes every time but somehow had top grades. And people like her have to show up to classes or else. Jason, though, was the worst and she’d say how nice it is to have so much money at their disposal.
 Eventually, in that space that is where they would fall in love. He fell for her first.
 They even share meals or snacks and naps.
 But outside of that space, Raven doesn’t see him. She didn’t know though that he started keeping his eye on her. 
 Damian would notice that Raven was an extremely odder ball than he initially thought. 
 He’d see Raven sneak out back or somewhere to see her enter a luxurious black and heavily tinted car. Sometimes she just enters to leave, sometimes the car would take her somewhere and the time she’d return would vary.
 Eventually, a rumour that she was some mistress to a rich old man appeared. But she minded her business. Damian was not happy with the rumour or the fact that it seemed true. He wanted to ask her about it. 
 Raven also met this female classmate who seemed to like dressing up to different aesthetics and changing her hair with wigs. The girl was a happy lady whose hair or general aesthetics were never the same the day before. The friend is quite an upbeat and happy girl. Take note of this friend, folks. 
 At this point, If I recall correctly, Raven would be avoiding Damian which would make him talk to her publicly because he was so annoyed. People would realise that they have formed some kind of relationship with one another. He would also confront her about this ‘older man’ rumour or her as a mistress.
 I faintly recall she tried to avoid answering which then frustrated him and made him confess to her. And when I say avoid, she avoided him for days. 
 The friend (different aesthetics every day) would immediately leave Raven if she sees Damian approaching as if she was scared of Damian at first. Eventually, the friend would stop avoiding Damian but Raven would notice that Damian and the friend would seem to have secret glances at one another.
 Then I think Damian and Raven started dating. Raven told him that the car she goes into was the person who helped her go to this school, so in a way, she guessed the rumours weren't wrong, but there was nothing romantic going on with her and that person. Damian just had to trust her. She refused to tell him who that person was. That person was her lifesaver. 
 Eventually, she would tell Damian who the person is, and it has to start with how she met him (the sponsor). 
 Raven tells him that she was in rags, running in the streets of Gotham barefoot, escaping from someone. She begged for help from people, but no one wanted anything to do with her. Especially with the rags she had on. She felt hopeless. Then suddenly a man in a suit was before her and asked if she needed help. The first person who looked her in the eyes. He then told her that she could go with him and he’d help her out. 
 She knew it was stupid to trust a stranger, but anything was better than getting caught from the very place she had just escaped from. She told Damian that she was held captive by some satanic cult, she didn’t want him to know this because she was ashamed. But if Damian had to know who the sponsor is, he also had to understand how they met and how important this sponsor was to her.
 She didn’t get any bad vibes from him so she followed him back to his limo.
 The sponsor was the one who helped her integrate back into society. He did it very patiently too. This is also why she took up history as her major. She wanted to know more about the world because she was hidden from it for too long. And she would also like to understand why there were people like those who took her. 
 Raven wasn’t sure why he was being nice, but he would tell her that someone he cared about asked him to, but he couldn’t say who. Her sponsor is a slightly older male, maybe Dick’s age or just 4 years or more older than Raven. He is currently working at his father’s company and is a name that Damian recognized as they are from the same social group. Damian was shocked to know about how Raven lived before escaping and he swore he’d give her everything and the best life that she deserved.
 Then I remember that Raven would go with Damian to some high-class party. Where she meets a platinum blonde-haired woman with light blue eyes, and not a single strand of her blonde hair is astray. Her voice sounded familiar but she spoke calmly and evenly, and in an almost indifferent manner. She looked posh and proper.
 But the way she talked to Raven it seemed like they were long friends. The blonde then introduced herself as Raven’s friend who’d dress over the top, to Raven’s shock. The friend explained that she comes from an old money family who is quite controlling. As seen in how she is currently dressed and acting. In fact, her identity in school is hidden because she ran from her family and her fiancé was the one who helped her do so. And if her family had it their way, she would have already been married to her childhood friend. The reason she also dresses up differently, aside from experimenting as such clothing would not be allowed by her family, it also serves as a disguise. She would even say that her platinum blonde hair is not natural, but her mother insisted that the palest blonde was the best for her and the family’s image as they were known for that shade of blonde. 
 Damian also knows her as they grew up together in the same social circle, and as they were of a closer age, were friends too. 
 Raven’s friend would reveal that the day Raven met her sponsor, she was the one who noticed Raven. The sponsor was Raven’s friend’s fiancée and childhood sweetheart. She had moved to the front when her fiancé went to get Raven at her command. Which was why Raven did not meet her.
 She apologized for keeping her identity a secret but she was regularly clothed and was hiding from her parents. She was just thankful that she had a very supportive fiancé. 
 And now back, to that whole troupe where the mother of the rich male lead gives money to the girlfriend to leave her son. 
 Raven experienced the same with Talia and Raven is just like: This cannot be happening, this is not like those dramas. 
 And as I said, this fic is more on comedy, so there will be those exaggerated scenes where it is clearly impossible but Raven is self-aware and comments or snickers about them. Damian too would share with her that this place, especially the university, is weird.
 And they’d bond over the weirdness of the school or their world in general. This part might happen while they are becoming friends on the rooftop and can continue on as they get together as a couple.
 And I think that is all for this story. It has been quite a while since I made this story idea so I know I missed a few things. 
 I do faintly remember the confession scene, they were on campus, the sun was setting and Raven was going to go to the black expensive car and Damian ran to her, stopped her, and told her he liked her. And not to go and ask if the rumours were true. I know I cried over it as I thought of the scene, but I don’t remember much of this storyline as I had mentioned at the poll.
 Anyway, I hope this rather long summary was worth your time. 
 If any of you have any questions, even in general, you can always ask me. :)

Felix and Your Tavern <3
A/N: Okay Okay, so I’m gonna do this bullet point form cause 1)I’m kinda lazy to explain everything and have proper sentence structure, etc., 2) This would be much longer than it already is if I wrote it normally, and 3) I’ve had this concept in mind for a fantasy au with Felix for a while and my brain go brrr, so I need to share it. Anyways, I’m sorry for any spelling mistakes and for how messy this will be, but I hope you enjoy my brainrot nonetheless!
**Warnings: Fighting(shouting, kinda physical), swearing, alcohol mentions, running away from home !!! [reader also is called the term “wife”]**
Part I Part II
W.C: 9.4k
Tumblr media
So you first met Felix, he was known as Prince Yongbok of the Clé kingdom, Second son to King and Queen Lee
You were employed by them to be the young prince’s courtier, which was a great honour to you, as you came from a family with no particular title or wealth
You were chosen due to shown proficiency in intelligence, manners, strength, respect during the summer tournament; all good qualities to hopefully rub off on the prince
He was known as the trouble child
blowing off his duties often to do things that were unsightly of the royal family, such as baking, gardening, and other pleasantly activities.
Your first day on the job was a mess, as you couldn’t even find the boy for half of the morning
He was up before the break of dawn out in the greenhouse tending to roses when you finally found him. He did not look up at you as he continued his work, humming to himself pleasantly.
not only was he still in his night wear, dark shaggy hair sticking out in all different directions and skin dull and dry
but he was also covered in dirt and water, creating stains and spots on the loose tunic he wore to sleep.
“Come with me, your majesty. It’s time for your dance lessons.”
“Oh, no thank you. I’d like to stay here and prune these roses. You are free to take your leave for the day!”
You were quite taken aback, as you were quite unsure what to do at this time. Did you obey Prince Yongbok, who was giving you direct orders or stick to the schedule that was given to you by the Queen and the King?
Fearing the Queen and the King more, you stood firmly in your place and cleared your throat.
Felix looked up at you for the first time with a furrowed brow and a pout. He was surprised at your blatant disobeying of his orders, yet you seemed to intrigue him nonetheless
“I really must insist, your majesty. As your courtier-”
“what is your name?” He interrupted you, tilting his head curiously at you
“(L/N) (Y/N). I am your new courtier after the last one was fired.”
“Do you know why they were fired?” The prince asked abruptly, setting the pot of roses aside and leaning over the workbench they sat on to get a closer look at you.
“Of course not, your majesty. It isn’t my business.” You said firmly, feeling like you were under a microscope with how his gaze wracked over your form. He looked like a cat playing with a mouse before eating it.
“It was because they failed to morph me into the perfect little prince that my parents want.” Prince Yongbok said, carting one of his dirty hands through his hair. You stood stiffly in front of him, trying not to waiver.
“And I assume you’ll eventually be fired for the same reason.” He hummed, a hint of venom laced in his tone as he pushed off the workbench and came around to approach you.
“My brother might be the prodigy son; heir to the throne, the golden child.... But you can’t change me. And standing here with a stick up your ass won’t make a difference.” Prince Yongbok scoffed, standing straight with his arms crossed over his chest.
You had to admit, the Prince was a bit intimidating, irritated expression painting his features. but luckily, you were able to hold your ground well enough. You weren’t going to let some bratty prince cost you your job.
“I don’t want to change you, your majesty.” You said, tone even and eyes stone cold. 
The prince seemed surprised by you standing your ground, expression faltering just a bit. 
“However, you have duties as a royal that need attending to. And seeing as your duties are given to you by the king and queen themselves, if you are to disobey them, it’ll be treason.”
you weren’t scared of some pretty boy prince. He was all talk, and you could tell when his expression shifted from annoyed to one of worry.
“So I suggest you come with me to your dance lesson, your majesty. Unless you want me to call for the guards to come and get you instead?”
Checkmate
Prince Yongbok gaped at you, processing what you had said in his head before letting out a exasperated sigh when he realized you were technically right.
He grumbled out a reluctant agreement before following you outside the greenhouse as you lead the prince back inside to be cleaned up for his lesson.
“We can come back out here later to tend to the flowers more if you’d like. This afternoon if you finish your history lesson early?” You proposed as you reached the door to get inside.
while you were strict with his schedule, you really meant it when you said you didn’t want to change Prince Yongbok.
so compromising on his activities seemed like a pleasant solution for both parties.
Prince Yongbok seemed to agree, enthused he was going to be allowed to come back out to the greenhouse later.
None of the previous courtiers were like you; they were mean and strict, shouting at Yongbok for hours, yet their gripes with him fell of deaf ears.
or they were pushovers, leaving Yongbok alone for their entirety of their stay at the castle.
But you were different.
You were stern, yet gentle
Prince Yongbok didn’t know how to feel about you.
But as your time together grew, the Prince seemed to warm up to you a bit more.
Sure, he still avoided going to his lesson and tried to barter his way out of attending the royal court, but you always made sure to reward the Prince with some recreational activities later in the afternoon or evening (depending when he was finishing his lessons)
He spoke to you in a nicer way now, yet he was still distant. Just polite, but not friendly.
He spoke to you as if you weren’t a real person, just a personified schedule.
It didn’t really matter to you
not at all
as long as he was fulfilling his duties, which he was
for the price of an hour of recreational activities before bed.
You have learned he was really good at baking, and he always seemed happiest while he was down in the lower level kitchen with the servants.
And he always made sure to interact with them, speaking casually like they are all old friends.
However, there was one question you did have about when he was with the servants
you finally decided to ask one day as you were bringing the prince to his quarters after a long day of working.
“your majesty, may I ask you something?”
“sure, go ahead.”
“I noticed while we were down in the kitchen today, you were speaking to the servants...”
Prince Yongbok stopped in the corridor to turn and face you. His expression was a lot softer than usual, lips pursed, slight grin adorning his features. He was feeling the same sense of intrigue the day you had met, except there was now an underlying adoration that had grown from being around you
He looked like the sun, bright and curious.
“They call you by a different name... Felix, they call you.”
“Yeah, they do.” The prince nodded in agreement, grin growing as you frown, confused at how casual the situation was.
“why?” you asked, lifting your gaze to meet his eyes. you’d never met a royal who voluntarily spoke to servants, let alone let them call them by a nickname so freely.
the situation nipped at your curiosity, so you finally had to ask.
Prince Yongbok smiled fondly at your confusion, a little giggle bubbling up from his chest.
“The servants aren’t as educated as you and me, so the name Yongbok is sometimes hard for them to pronounce. So I told them to give me a new name. an easier name.” The prince explained, as if it clarified anything to you.
“your majesty, why would you allow them to call you by your name and not your majesty anyways?” You asked, tucking your bottom lip in between your teeth as you couldn’t hold in your obvious confusion.
Yongbok couldn’t help his smile from growing
you were so endearing to him in this moment
“Because they are people (Y/N).” He hummed, turning around and continuing his walk towards his chambers.
Your brain froze for a second as you tried to understand his thought process, before you followed behind Prince Yongbok.
“you say they are people... however, you have me call you by your title. Am I not a person too, your majesty?”
You let the words tumble out before you even register what you said. once you do, you immediately slap a hand over your mouth and bow furiously at the prince, who has stopped dead in his tracks. 
“Forgive me, Your majesty! I spoke without-”
“so that’s what this is all about!” The prince lets out a laugh, turning to look at you as you stiffen out of fear.
“Look, (Y/N), you could have just asked if you wanted to call me by Felix too.” He huffed playfully, enjoying watching you squirm nervously under his gaze.
You looked cute, nervously fiddling with them hem of your sleeve
“I-no! that’s not what I meant your majesty! I was simply-” You began, before the prince silenced you with a gentle wave of his hand. You felt like you were going to explode, tears threatening to spill over your cheeks.
you were embarrassed at your unprofessionalism, but most of all, you were worried you had upset the prince or offended him by having him think you were being rude and ungrateful.
But Prince Yongbok just looked at you sweetly, the corners of his lips quirked up playfully.
“(L/N) (Y/N), as my courtier, I give you full permission to call me Felix. I actually wish you would have asked me sooner.”
You feel your nerves unravel, like the tight coil in the pit of your stomach releasing all the pressure. You felt like you were made of jello, but in a good way.
“You do?” You asked tentatively, trying your best to save face as much as possible.
“yeah. It’s awkward how formal our relationship is when we spend everyday together. This way, it’ll make me more comfortable around you.” The prince explained
you reached his door, meaning it was time to send him off to bed. You had felt a great wave of relief, which must have shown on your face because Yongbok let out a chuckle.
“See you tomorrow (Y/N). Good night!” The prince hummed, waving you off as he opened his door and slipped inside his room
“good night... Felix.” You said softly. Felix couldn’t help the sudden quickening of his heartbeat and the drop of his stomach when he heard the name tumble form your lips.
his name
It sounded great coming from your mouth, he thought
and so, with the establishing of names, your relationship with Felix became a lot more friendly as the months went on
of course, when you were with the king and queen, you called him by his title, no matter how much it caused Felix discomfort.
He hated to admit it, but he had grown very accustom to you being by his side everyday; more than just a courtier, but as a friend.
he enjoyed your company. You were a good listener, and you always tried to provide a solution to his problems when he shared them
not to mention you encouraged him to do what he enjoyed, which nobody had ever done before.
you made him feel cared about, which made him really happy.
yep, you were a good friend alright!
just a friend, though.
nothing more!
...
okay so maybe Felix was starting to fall in love with you.
It wasn’t his fault that on top of being nice, you were also very pretty and it wasn’t his fault he got butterflies whenever you praised him or encouraged him
but as much as Felix wanted to tell you the truth about his not so platonic feelings, he didn’t want to make you uncomfortable
you were forced to spend every day with him no matter what, so he’d probably never forgive himself if he upset you and you just had to stick around anyways.
relationship with each other aside, today was a very important day
The royal family from the neighboring kingdom Naevis was to come today and present Felix’s older brother with his suitor.
Minho was the eldest Lee prince, heir to the throne of Clé. He was a perfect fit for the throne too!
responsible, poised, hard working, and very caring of his subjects.
Felix tried not to be spiteful of his brother, despite the constant comparisons made between the two by his parents.
Nonetheless, Felix knew his brother would make a good king, and a good husband to whoever he was set to marry.
However, he was just as surprised as you were when he was also presented a suitor for the same kingdom
Her name was Winter and she was as beautiful as fully bloomed chrysanthemum and brighter than the stars in the sky
she was sweet like honey and smarter than most tutors, 
she was so full of life
She was what any young prince could ask for when it came to a suitor
but Felix couldn’t help the sick feeling burning up in his throat at the proposal
Of course the king and queen accepted the marriage proposals for both of their sons
The alliances between the kingdom would be twice as strong now, which was very advantageous for both Clé and Naevis
Minho had been set to marry the eldest daughter Karina for many years now, so the two were pretty well acquainted already
But Felix had only ever spoken to Winter twice in his whole life
and with that, it was only formal greetings...
and now he was being told they would be married by next spring?
it was all too much too fast.
and of course, she wasn’t you.
As Felix’s courtier, you had advised the king and queen schedule a few meetings a week with Winter into Prince Yongbok’s weekly duties, to help them feel more comfortable with each other
of course, the queen and king expected you to chaperone the young royals during these meetings
you accepted the responsibility with great honour
but you couldn’t help the nagging feeling tugging at your heart
you spent everyday with Felix, and through the months of working with him, he had become a lot more responsible with his duties
you were excited he was able to move to the next step towards becoming a proper royal with such a lovely suitor
so why did you feel nauseous at the sight of them together?
You were supposed to be happy your majesty was finally going to live the life he was supposed to
so why did you want so badly to jump in between then while they strolled through the garden with their arms linked?
You didn’t know why you felt that way
Well...
you did know.
But you didn’t dare mutter a thought of those feelings aloud at anytime!
it wasn’t your place to get in the way of Felix’s destiny
With the announcement of the engagement, there was a rift created in your relationship with Felix. One where you went back to a more professional demeanor and he stopped being as talkative.
Felix hated it
he hated every moment he had to spend with Winter because he didn’t want to marry her.
And as more meetings happened and more time went on, the wedding drew closer
and you pulled even farther away from Felix
you had lost all the life and became a shell of a person who barely spoke a word to Felix besides what his schedule was and where he was to meet with Winter
You even refused to stay with him while he was out in the greenhouse or in the kitchen with the servants, opting to stay outside the the doorway awaiting to escort the prince to bed.
He was lucky you still allowed him the free time he wasn’t entitled to, but it made him unhappy with you now gone from them.
The final straw was when you called him by his title.
“Good night (Y/N).” Felix said weakly, pushing open the door to his room.
“Good night, your majesty.” You mumbled, bending at the waist to bow  to the prince. Felix felt like he had been shot with an arrow as he froze in place.
Truthfully, he felt his anger bubble up and spill over, face stone cold as he stared at you
“What did you say to me?” He spat, eyes meeting yours as you rose from your bow. You looked unfazed, lips pressed into a thin line.
“I said good night, your majesty.” You replied flatly. As you were turning to leave, you were shocked as Felix firmly grasped your wrist and tugged on it, making you turn to face him
You could feel irritation ignite in you as you glared at him
Normally, you’d be afraid of being fired, but you secretly hoped you were fired
it would be easier than seeing him everyday
“No.” He growled, roughly yanking you into his room before going to slam the door behind you 
“Your majesty-” You sighed restlessly, but were quickly cut off by Felix.
“What happened between us?” He said, raising his voice as he came closer to you.
He looked scary now; dark eyes burning with a fury, jaw firm and expression heated as he brushed his dark hair away from his face. You felt afraid of his strong demeanor, but knew deep down he wouldn’t do anything to hurt you.
When you didn’t answer him, he just continued, pacing back and forth with his arms crossed over his chest.
“You don’t even talk to me anymore. You act like I don’t even exist  beyond being a task for you! And on top of that, you are calling me by my title now... Is this all business to you?! What happened?! Did I do something to upset you?” Felix huffed, letting all the anger from the past few months spill out.
“No, you didn’t do anything.” You replied, fighting back the tears that were threatening to leak from your eyes.
no, you had to stay strong
“I’m sorry for upsetting you, your majesty. I’ll refrain from doing that in the future.” You said simply, bowing politely at Felix before moving to the door and reaching for the handle
you had to get out of there.
“Did you even listen to what I said, (Y/N)?!”
Felix was shouting now, palm pressed against the wooden door to keep you from leaving.
“Let me go.”
you were the one who was getting angry now
“Not until you talk to me. I just want to-”
“Let. Me. Go...” You were shaking from rage now, pulling at the door, but Felix wouldn’t budge
It wasn’t fair
It wasn’t fair you had to be the one who was rational and you had to be the one who was responsible
all while Felix got to act like a child, throwing a tantrum because you were being respectful and doing your job.
“No.” Felix said sternly, pressing his palm against the door even harder, coming closer to you he could feel the heat radiating off your body like plumes of smoke
why were you being so difficult?
Felix’s life had already gone to shit with this stupid marriage stuff, and now you were making it worse by being cold to him
You turn to him, expression fierce and body trembling
“You want to know so fucking bad?!” You spat, shoving Felix away from you as you felt tears of frustration spill over.
“You are going to be married to the perfect woman and there is nothing I can even do about it! I watch from behind the two of you and pray that in another life, it could be me holding your hand. I wish I was as pretty as she is, I wish that I was as smart as she is, I wish that my family had some sort of status because maybe then I wouldn’t have the person I love engaged to someone else! And life is cruel and unjust because I just have to watch you become who you are meant to be, but there isn’t a place for me anymore!”
Sobs fought their way out of your chest, feeling like you were absolutely broken at this point.
You knew this would probably be the last time you saw Felix because of your outburst, but you tried making peace with that as you sucked in a shaky breath, only for more sobs to fall out.
Maybe you’d move far from the kingdom and live in a cottage in the woods
that way you wont have to worry-
Felix was holding you in an instant, arms wrapped tightly around your torso as broken sobs coming from his throat.
You were still catching your breath and your racing mind, but you finally held the prince in front of you, rubbing a soothing, yet shaky hand along his back.
He clutched you tightly as if you would dissolve if he let go
“for fuck’s sake (Y/N), you have no idea how much agony I am in everyday because I am utterly in love with you.” Felix wailed, burying his head in the crook of your neck.
“I hate being engaged. I hate wedding planning. I hate everything about this situation because she’s not you.”
You let out a weak sigh, feeling the weight of this confession crushing down on you
You felt a lot of things in that moment, but the most prominent was relief he felt the same way
Felix pulled away just enough to look at you in the eyes, his own were blurred from tears.
“I love you so much.”
And you allowed, just this once, for your feelings to prevail over your brain as you kissed Felix for the first time
He kissed back with as much fervor as possible, as he was still out of breath from crying
and when you finally did part for air, it only lasted a second before Felix was diving in for another kiss.
His lips were trembling as he clawed at your waist, seemingly trying to get you even closer to him.
You brought your hands up to tangle in his shaggy hair, holding his head lovingly as you willed every ounce of emotion you had into the kiss
Felix parted from your lips, leaning his forehead against yours
“please, stay with me...” He whispered desperately, placing a peck on your face between each word
but you were rational
and responsible
“I can’t.” You said breathlessly, sniffling and sliding your hands down his back weakly. 
“you know we can’t Felix...”
“Just for tonight.” Felix bartered, already walking backwards towards his bed, pulling you along with him.
“Just for tonight...” He repeated, legs hitting the edge of his mattress as he placed another kiss to your lips.
“please... be mine, just for tonight?”
And you let your heart make one more choice over your brain
you let yourself have one night in Felix’s arms, clutching onto him as if he was the most precious thing in the world
one night where your tongues danced together and teeth crashed into each other
One night where you whispered sweet nothings to each other late into early morning
one night where you could call him yours
because when the sun rose, you were gone. Back to the reality of your situation.
You relationship with Felix got better
You went back to calling him Felix in private and you began spending his free time together doing what he loved again
but you kept your distance, opting to never speak of that night to him again.
no matter how much he brought up the subject of your love
You refused to entertain his ideas, changing the subject when he tried to speak to you about what happened that night
or you pulled away whenever Felix tried to grab your hand as you walked or held onto you a bit to long after a hug.
You began to notice him stealing glances at you whenever he was with Winter,
and when he was paying attention to her, he looked bored and acted very formally around her.
When it came to wedding planning, Felix was even more distant.
“I don’t care, whatever flowers you want for the ceremony.”
“All these cakes taste good, so it doesn’t matter to me”
“Why are wedding colours even important? Just go with that one.”
You knew he wasn’t thrilled to be marrying Winter,
but at least put in a bit of effort for her sake...
“Yongbok Darling, you know how we were unable to have an engagement ball a few months ago due to complications in my kingdom?” Winter asked her fiance.
it was a beautiful spring afternoon and the two were having tea out in the courtyard (under your supervision of course).
You knew the wedding was a few weeks away, yet the king and queen still seemed adamant on Felix meeting with Winter a few times a week because he still hadn’t quite warmed up to her yet
with the wedding so close, why was she bringing up an engagement ball?
Felix stirred his tea nonchalantly, looking out at the pond in the center of the courtyard. How much he wished he could just dive in right now and drown
that way he wouldn’t have to be in this situation anymore
when Felix didn’t answer, you kicked at his ankle to get his attention.
“hm? oh yeah, the engagement ball...” Felix hummed dismissively, giving a haphazard glance to his fiance before staring down at his tea cup
“Well, what if we had one? It would be for both our union and our sibling’s, but I think it’s a very important tradition. Don’t you?” Winter said sweetly, picking up a biscuit and dunking it in her tea delicately
“Isn’t it too late to plan one? Our wedding is in a few weeks.” Felix said politely, but grimaced at the thought
“Our parents already have it planned out,” Winter explained, “It was supposed to be a secret, but I wanted to tell you in advance so you could prepare.”
Felix perked up at this, finally looking at Winter. His expression morphed into one of nerves as he let a frown play on his face only for a quick moment
“When is it?”
“in a couple of days. I suppose your parents wanted it kept a secret until the day of...”
Felx let out a small ‘oh’ before plastering a fake smile on his face
“I’m glad we are able to have one finally. Thank you for the extra heads up, Winter.”
“Well I actually said something for (Y/N)’s sake,”
You perked up when the Princess addressed you directly. You were used to being not even acknowledged during these meetings between the two, so it was surprising to hear your name come from Winter’s lips
You didn’t even know she knew your name, as she referred to you as the courtier when she did reference you
“Can you fit in dancing lessons into Yongbok’s schedule? I would hate for him to make a fool out of himself at the ball.” She asked, turning to you with a gentle smile. You nodded in agreement, clasping your hands behind your back as you bowed to her.
Felix looked at you, bittersweet expression adorning his beautiful features before he turned back to Winter.
“Wonderful! Shall we go inside now?” She exclaimed, finishing her tea and dabbing her mouth with a napkin. Felix stood from his place, gathering the tea set just as you started to as well.
You hands touched for a moment while reaching for the sugar, and you felt an spark shoot through your fingertip.
“Leave that for (Y/N), Darling. Wont you walk with me?” Winter asked, holding her arm out for Felix to take.
Felix froze for a second before wordlessly leaving you to collect the rest of the tea set and laced his arm through Winter’s
But not without having his gaze entirely focused on you
even as you began to walk them back to the castle, tea tray in hand, He barely spared his fiance a glance
all Felix could look at was you.
even when she kissed his cheek and said her goodbyes, he couldn’t take his eyes off of you...
The ball came in the blink of an eye, 
you felt a bit unprepared in all honesty, but it worked out well
elites from both kingdoms gathered at the castle, wishing well onto both of the happy couples
however, by now, Minho and Karina had already been married some time in the winter
kind of redundant for them to have an engagement ball as husband and wife, but tradition is tradition
They sat up with the king and queen, stoic and poised
as if it was possible for the future king and queen to look anything BUT put together.
the only sign they were really present and not just wax figures was their hands intertwined fondly as they spoke in hushed whispers.
You stood off to the side of the ballroom
as a member of the court, you were technically invited, however you didn’t dare speak to any of the royals.
You were dressed in your best attire, but you felt incredibly bored as you watched the elites mingle.
You almost wished you were dismissed to go down to the kitchen and help out there
you’d be more useful that way anyways
But that all changed when Felix entered the ballroom, arm and arm with Winter
He looked breathtakingly beautiful; his messy hair styled out of his face and he wore a spangled, velvet suit that glittered under the lights of the chandelier
he bowed and greeted guests, grin adorning his features
Winter looked equally as lovely, smiling and waving cheerfully as she mingled with guests as the two whisked around the crowd
they were the guests of honour after all
Finally, the two of them came close enough for Felix to see you
You felt your face burn at the way his expression lit up when he recognized it was you.
He hastily whispered to his fiance, before releasing his arm from hers and weaving through the crowd to you.
now that Felix stood in front of you, he looked even more magnificent; you could clearly see the rosy dust of his flushed cheeks and the star-like freckles that littered his face and neck.
“Good evening (Y/N).”
Felix spoke in a formal, even tone. Considering your current surroundings, it made sense; but nonetheless, you were taken aback by his demeanor
“Good evening, your majesty.” You replied with a bow, trying to hold in a laugh when you catch Felix making a sound of disgust at the title. 
luckily, the prince was able to keep his composure
“You look lovely as ever.” He said, a politeness in his tone. Yet you knew he meant much beyond formalities
“You look quite dashing yourself, your majesty.” You hummed in reply, smiling as you see the blush across his cheeks spread to his neck and ears
“May I ask for your assistance on something?” He asked, lips quirked into a playful grin.
“of course. Anything you need, your majesty.”
“Come this way then, please.”
Felix lead you out of the ballroom and down one of the corridors until you reached the familiar view of his bedroom door. 
He opened it and ushered you inside, closing the door behind the two of you tightly
“So, what do you need-”
Before you could finish your sentence you were quickly cut off with the prince’s lips on your own
they tasted of champagne and sweets
Taken by surprise, you stood stiff, placing your hands on his chest to push him away
“Felix, what are you doing?” You asked, secretly wishing you wouldn’t have to pushed him away.
“God, you have no idea how many times I’ve wanted to do that in the past few weeks.” Felix chuckled breathlessly, wrapping his arms around you and leaning into another kiss.
This time you kissed him back for just a moment, only to push him away again
When you parted, Felix looked at you perplexedly
did you not want this?
“Felix, what are you doing?” You repeated quietly, eyes sad and expression soft
“what are we doing?”
“What do you mean?” Felix asked, rubbing his hands up your back to land at your shoulders. His touch was delicate and gentle
You let out a scoff, looking away from the lovesick boy in front of you.
You could hear the muffled sound of the ball outside the door, as you gazed out Felix’s open window to look at the bright moon hung up in the sky
you could see the pooling of storm clouds in the distance, somehow foreshadowing how this conversation would seem to lead
“Felix, tonight is the night of your engagement ball. Your engagement to the Princess, not me.” You explained simply, taking his hands in your own and removing them from your body
“So?” Felix said desperately. He didn’t want to hear about the ball, the princess, OR his engagement...
“So, we can’t be doing this.” You said simply, feeling your heart sink
you wanted nothing more than to lean back into his touch and to stay here for another night together
but you knew better than that.
You had to be stern and direct with Felix, or else he just wouldn’t understand tha-
“Do you not love me anymore?” Felix asked, eyes already swelling with tears, “that night... did it not mean anything to you?”
“Felix I-”
“Every time I try to talk to you about my feelings- show you my feelings for you... you don’t let me.”
“Felix, it’s because-”
“Do you not love me anymore?” Felix asked once more, his voice coming out as more of a whimper. You could see the way his lips curved into a pout, trembling as he tried to keep his emotions in control
You took a deep breath, feeling like you were being stabbed in the heart as you watched the man you love in such a state
“I do love you.” You confirmed, coming close to Felix to wiping his cheeks with the pads of your thumbs.
Felix immediately reacted to your touch, leaning his head into the palms of your hands. He brought his own up to rest atop of yours, brushing his fingertips against yours
“That night represents everything I feel for you all the time. All the things I’m not allowed to say or do.” You confessed in your moment of weakness, wanting nothing more than to place a comforting kiss to Felix’s lips
but you had enough sense to refrain from that
“If you love me, why do you push me away? Why are you making me go to the meetings with Winter? Why do you ignore my love for you? If you love me, why don’t you show me?”
Felix wasn’t crying anymore, but you could still hear the brokenness in his voice as he spoke.
He was always so emotional around you. It was one of the things you loved about him; the way he was so in touch with his feelings and how empathetic he was.
but it was a curse sometimes, blinding him from reality
“Felix, I do those things because I love you so much.” You sighed, slipping your hands away from his face and letting them lay at your sides lifelessly.
“That doesn’t make sense.” Felix huffed out, coming closer to you and reaching out for your hands. You didn’t fight him as he interlocked his fingers with yours
“Lovers don’t do things that make the other person unhappy. So why are you forcing me into a life that makes me unhappy?” Felix said. His tone seemed tired now, emotional exhaustion overtaking the prince.
“Because it’s your destiny. It’s what you are meant to do. Who am I to stand in the way of your future?”
You could feel the tears escape your eyes now
It hurt you more than words could express to let Felix go, but you knew it was what was best for him.
“If this is my destiny, I do not want it.” He whispered now, leaning close to your face. He kissed your tears away gently, tone even and serious
“If this is my future, I do not want it.”
He slowly leaned in once more, placing a kiss on your lips as you couldn’t find it in you to refuse him anymore
He moved took his hands from yours and brought them up to cup your face as he kissed you more.
you felt yourself melting into his touch, kissing him back 
because you were just as love-struck as Felix was
“Lets run away.”
Your head was spinning, so you weren’t even sure if you had actually heard him right until he leaned his forehead against yours and his eyes meeting yours
“Lets run away tonight.” He whispered again, lips brushing against yours as he spoke. You shook your head in his hands, leaning away from him again
You couldn’t do this to him
“Felix...”
“Look, I’ve thought about it a lot these past few weeks.” Felix said frantically, reaching out for you as you pulled away from him and opting to take a step back.
“Everyone is busy at the ball, so it would be easy for us to leave.”
“Oh yeah?” You chuckled bitterly. 
You hated how it always had to be you who was reasonable
it always had to be you to bring him back to reality...
“And how are we going to leave then? On foot? We’ll be caught before the sun rises.”
“The stables. We take a horse and ride it far away from here.” Felix explained. You sat on the edge of his bed, rubbing your face wearily.
Felix stood in front of you, holding onto your hands again.
“Okay. Say we do get a horse and we are able to get away and hide before anyone catches us.” You sighed, gazing up that the man in front of you, “What then? We live out in the woods with no food, no water, and no home?”
Felix glanced over to his nightstand, where his expensive jewelry box sat open. Diamonds, rubies, sapphires and emeralds; gold and silver, all shone in the light of the moon
“We are not stealing from the royal family- your family, to run away Felix!” You cried out, pulling your hands from his. He hastily knelt down in front of you and clasped your hands in his again.
“We only take what we need to get a start! I’ll work after that.” He bartered, eyes desperate, “Besides, everything in there belongs to me anyways...”
You looked down at where his hands held yours, gold engagement band shimmering in the light
taunting you as you listened to Felix’s silly request.
“And what about your fiance? Your kingdom? You are going to throw it all away for what?” You said exasperatedly 
“For you. For our happiness.” He replied simply, pleading with you to run away.
You could feel the walls around your position crumble the more Felix tried to convince you.
You resolve was deteriorating quickly, so you tried one last effort to change his mind
“You’re a prince. You have duties. I can’t-”
“No!” Felix interrupted you firmly. His eyes were filled with a sense of determination that shook you to your core.
“Prince Yongbok has duties. That’s his future, not mine. My future is with you, (Y/N).”
You felt all the air was being punched from your lungs as your last ounce of will power shattered
Okay.
“Okay...” You whispered, finally giving into what you wanted in your heart.
You could see Felix’s face morph into a grin as he stood up excitedly. He looked like a puppy now, eyes shining and hyper fingers that pulled at you to come close to him again.
“But if we are going to do this, we are going to do it right.” You spoke in a hushed tone, pushing away from Felix once more to smooth out his outfit.
The sounds of the ball still sounded lively from ballroom, laughs and music echoing off the halls
“We’ve been gone for too long already, so you need to go back in there and be with the Princess.” You explained, much to Felix’s dismay.
“I’ll prepare everything for us to leave. New clothes, food for the road, something to protect ourselves, things like that. We’ll meet at the stable in an hour or so and we’ll leave.”
Felix nodded enthusiastically, leaping into you and squeezing you tightly, to which you gladly reciprocated.
This was the most happy you think you have ever seen him, and knowing you were the cause of that was worth so much more than trying to secure his future.
and so, with Felix being sent to return to the ball to throw off suspicions, you began to gather the things needed to leave. 
Clothes that were much less conspicuous that your formal attire
cloaks to help hid the two of you in the dead of night
The jewelry box from Felix’s nightstand
a long, silver dagger and a bow with a few arrows from the armory that would be useful for you to protect Felix with if you needed
peaches, bread, and bottles for water for a couple days, as you had no idea how long you’d be on the road for.
You prepared the largest horse in the stable for your journey
a pure brown Clydesdale with the most inconspicuous looking leather saddle you could find.
Your hands shook from sheer adrenaline as you tied the saddle firmly to the horse
You knew if you were caught now, you’d be executed for treason 
The thought made you nauseous, but you pushed it down and tried of focus on Felix
you thought back to the first day you met him
he was dirty and scuffed up from tending to the roses all morning
you thought of the small details, like how the sun shone through the glass and illuminated Felix so brightly and how delicately his fingers worked to prune those roses
That beautiful image was a stark contrast of now, dark and gloomy
the storm had washed in sometime within the past hour, leaving you soaked and cold
However, it meant people were less likely to come out and catch you
That idea didn’t stop the panic you felt when the stable door swung open
You reached for the dagger and pointed it at your lover before even realizing it was him.
He was soaking wet too, dark hair matted to his forehead as he tried to catch his breath
he must ran here
He was in new clothing as well; a brown hunting jacket and a pair of black trousers
He also had a small knapsack slung over his shoulder
“You stopped at your room first?” You asked, rolling your eyes as Felix nodded. He took the bigger bag from you to put his knapsack in it.
“I had to.” He replied, jamming the knapsack with the heel of his palm, “I had important things with sentimental value in there.”
Felix grabbed the second cloak your prepared and swung it around his shoulders
He watched as you fastened the pin, and he couldn’t help but place a quick kiss to the tip of your nose as you finished.
“We don’t have time for that.” You grumbled, climbing aboard the horse and holding your hand out to help Felix up too.
“We can kiss all you want when we are safe,” You said under your breath, heat crawling up your face as the words effortlessly tumbled from your mouth.
You flicked the lead only when you felt Felix snake his arms around your middle securely, burring his face somewhere between your shoulder blade and the crook of your neck.
there was something comforting about being in his grasp again, but you couldn’t dwell on it now, as you needed to focus on the road ahead
And just like that, your trusty steed galloped away, as fast and as far as it could before stopping
You took a sigh of relief as the two of you passed through the city gates and off into the hinterland
You closed your eyes for a moment, letting the cool rain drops hit your face
You really did it.
You didn’t stop your travels until the sun started to peak up over the horizon, long after the storm had passed.
there was a forest that marked the base of a mountain, which provided enough cover for you to safely rest for a bit.
Past the mountain would be a small farming village, in which you will hopefully be able to rest for longer and get your bearings.
and beyond that was a city
that was the end goal
for now, you allowed your great Clydesdale a place in the long grass to lay and sleep for a bit
all while you spent your time in Felix’s hold, showering him with all of the attention you didn’t allow yourself to do before.
you watched the sun rise paint his skin in a soft golden glow
you found yourself falling in love with him all over again as he just enjoyed your company.
in this time, He explained he had a gift for you, sitting up before pulling something shiny out of his pocket
It was his engagement band, with a gold chain looped through the center of it
“When I get married, it will be to you!” He promised, placing the chain around your neck and adjusting it accordingly
“I love you.” You hummed dreamily, placing a chaste kiss on Felix’s lips
“I love you too.”
The trek was more dangerous than you thought it would be
the mountain proved to be rough terrain, a very narrow pass and hard rock with little traction
to pass the time, Felix would sing folk songs, his deep voice echoing off the rock
And when you reached the town, it was in the middle of the night a couple days later
You were exhausted, 
The journey had been physically and mentally taxing on you, and you honestly couldn’t wait to sleep in a bed for the first time in a while.
however Felix felt uneasy at the thought of seeing people
What if someone recognized him? by now, there had to have been search parties out for him.
and it wasn’t like a small farming community was used to travelers coming through...
“(Y/N), I think it’s best if we move on and just go to the city. It feels safer to me.”
You hummed, taking long slow blinks
It was only about one more day’s ride to the city, meaning you could be there by morning if you were quick.
Felix was right, but you weren’t sure if you could last that long
“Let me navigate, you should rest, my love.” Felix said simply, taking the reigns from your tired hands
He placed a quick kiss on your forehead as you leaned into his chest, allowing yourself to sleep
“don’t let me rest for too long...” You mumbled, Hearing Felix’s hum in agreement, before allowing yourself to drift off to sleep
You didn’t wake up until early the next morning, just before sunrise
so much for ‘don’t let me rest too long’
“Hey, we are here.” Felix said, you could hear the grin in his voice
In front of you laid the city of Miroh
It was the largest city in the west, with a populations almost double that of Clé
It had been safely under the rule of the Yang dynasty for centuries now, with a large army supporting it.
And with the mountain being one of the only entrances from the south lands, it was an independent nation, having only alliances with the neighboring kingdoms around it
A perfect place for someone to disappear
You and Felix found home along the very edge of the city on the north side
Using almost all of the precious jewels that you had brought, the two of you bought a run down, little tavern with a the modest inn upstairs.
It was not the best conditions, dirt and grime covering every inch of the bar, a few broken floorboard, and a bit of weather damage done to the outside
it would be tough to fix this place up, but with hard work you could do it.
and boy was it hard work
Felix got a job as a farmhand for a rancher, working long hours out in the sun with livestock
he would be up before the break of dawn and come back after the sun went down, but it was discrete.
you got a job cleaning at an inn in the city center
It paid next to nothing and the owners were cruel, but you always tried to look at the bigger picture
for months you and Felix were just scraping by, working every single day just to be able to live
and slowly, but surely, you were able to replace the broken floorboards
then a couple months after that, you got proper furniture for the tavern and bedding for the inn
and when you finally replaced the few stone steps out front, you were so close to being able to open
Just a few more weeks of this to buy alcohol stock and meal ingredients, and you could finally start your life for real this time
it was late, the moon high overhead when you heard Felix return, boots scuffing against the wooden floor
He always looked so tired now, body heavy and eyes drooped as he shuffled to the back where your room laid.
“I cooked some stew if you’re hungry.” You said as cheerfully as possible.
truthfully, you both had become shells of who you once were, but you felt it was best if you were as happy as possible for Felix when he came home
“Thank you.” He grumbled weakly, emerging from your room with only a loose fitting tunic and his work pants. He sat at one of the many tables as you came over to him with a bowl of what looked to be mostly root vegetables, cream, and small bits of meat from a prairie chicken you bought off a traveler at the inn you worked at.
“Work was tough today?” You asked innocently enough, but it seemed to upset Felix as he frowned
“very much so.” He replied flatly, scooping more stew into his hungry mouth.
His skin was much tanner now from working outside, and you could prominently see his freckles
“well, I’ve been thinking...” You said quietly, watching as Felix barely paid you any mind. The only reason you could tell he was listening to you was through the way he haphazardly grunted in response
“We are so close to opening this place up, I just wish we could do it tomorrow, y’know?” You started out, before reaching for something and placing it on the table in front of Felix
He looked up from his meal at you as you revealed what you had placed
his engagement ring on the chain he had given to you months ago
“I crunched the numbers, and if we sell this, it’ll be enough to start us up. You wouldn’t have to work out there anymore and we could just start running the Tavern everyday.” You explained, chewing your bottom lip.
You hated seeing Felix like this everyday, so if you could give up something to make it stop, you would do it 100 times over
“You... we cant sell that.” Felix said, a look of sadness on his face
he reached out for the ring, looking between the piece of jewelry and you
“Felix, I don’t want you to have to keep living like this for us. It’s killing you!” You cried gently, grasping onto his hand as you felt sadness well up inside you
“I gave this to you, because I made a promise to you. I promised I would marry you” Felix said pushing his meal aside to lean over the table closer to you
“I know, but-”
“So we can’t sell it. not until I marry you.”
“Then marry me.” You blurted out. Felix stared at you in shock, shaking his head
“I can’t yet, you deserve a proper wedding and I can’t give it to you yet.” Felix explained with a heavy sigh
when had he become the rational one in your relationship?
“Marry me now, and we can have the wedding after if you want.” You replied, as if it was the most casual conversation you’ve ever had
You took the engagement ring from Felix’s grasp and walked over to his side of the table
you knelt down in front of him, holding the ring out to him
“Lee Felix, will you marry me? Right now?” You asked, playful grin adorning your features
and for the first time in months you saw Felix smile again, shaking his head as he let out a chuckle
He held out his hand and you slipped the ring back on his finger, chain dangling from it as he pulled you into his lap
“Is this the part where I kiss you?” He asked teasingly, holding you close to him as he planted his lips on yours in a sweet kiss.
when you parted, you couldn’t help the heat from burning across your cheeks
“Lets go to bed, my wife.” Felix said wistfully, lifting you off of him opting to clean up his dinner before taking you to your room.
He was your husband now
Felix, your husband
(Y/N), his wife
Titles felt good for once.
That night, you laid in Felix’s arms once more, and you were reminded of that first night you shared
lots had changed since then, but it was for the better now
And so, after finally being able to open up the tavern, you and Felix lived a relatively happy life
every night, patrons would come to your establishment
your home
and they would eat, drink and be merry
you would have different musicians come and play to add to the atmosphere
every once in a while, you would run into trouble
bounty hunters and adventurers trying to make quick cash from the King and Queen trying to bring Felix back home
They tell people you kidnapped him and he needed to be saved
but you always set them straight with a drink, a story, and a smile, telling them good luck if they tried to take Felix away, because he wouldn’t allow it
usually that was enough to send these people on their way, not without staying a night upstairs and enjoying an evening downstairs
but sometimes it didn’t work
people were still adamant on taking Felix
usually they had to be paid off or you’d have to resort to more unsightly methods
in the end, it was still working out for you
but you tried not to worry Felix with the trouble
He was finally happy again, spending most of his time in the kitchen or behind the bar
he got to bake everyday, which is quickly what your tavern became known for
Looking for pastries, tarts, cookies, and fresh bread? You must go to that tavern on the north side!
Yes, Felix was finally happy, but mostly because he got to crawl into bed next to you everyday
His wife
his love
He sometimes lays awake at night, long since you have fallen asleep in his hold and thinks about what would have happened if he hadn’t have met you
He’d still be the problem child, a disgrace to his family
he’d be married to Winter, probably have a few children, and be a ghost of man who never felt true joy
and god, does he feel grateful he chose this life with you
___________________________
A/N: This had so many more plot details than I originally planned, but I hope you enjoyed it. Honestly, I might write an actual fic that has to do with Felix and (Y/N) living in their cozy tavern later in the future, because I didn’t really expand on it too much because I couldn’t without going into ANOTHER heavy set plot, but who knows!

🙤 Enjoyable Things 🙧Rules: List five things you enjoy and pass it along!
Tagged by @shivunin and @demandthedoodles, thank you very much!! (I am an indecisive ass so limiting myself to five is... a struggle) (also am I the only one that started singing Favourite Things from Sound of Music...?)
Food. I know it will sound stereotypical as an Italian, but eating something I like gives me so much joy. I love eating and quite like cooking, even if I'm lazy. I am a vegetarian with a lactose intolerance, so I end up eating vegan most often, and I'm currently having lots of fun in trying indian recipes which are naturally vegan (or easily so substituting ghee/butter with oil)! This Baingan Bharta recipe by cooking with Manali is something that always gives me so much joy, paired with some jeera pulao!
The sea/going swimming. I don't live close to the sea unfortunately, but I spent quite a lot of time in my youth. I can dive (used to reach 10m with no oxygen back then, now I'm terribly out of shape) and I LOVE snorkeling and seeing the fishes, and when I'll be rich I'll go diving in a cage to see some sharks from up close. All marine life gives me so much joy (the jellyfishes are so pretty! From a distance).
Medieval and Contemporary History. In case you were wondering, I love history and knowing more about it, but I'm very selective when it comes to remember it. The Middle Ages and the first half of the XX century (up until the Moon landing) are my favourite periods. Oh and also Ancient Greece. LOVE Ancient Greece (with all its flaws). I love love LOVE museums. And strolling around Medieval buildings is just!!! AAAAH! The older the better, I LOVE gothic cathedrals, and those old castles! And Oooooh I'm not the biggest graveyard fan but Irish graveyards? I'd be there sketching every day, I visited some when I was there and they were so peaceful. I love trying to read the inscriptions, and they lack the baroque kitsch that I never like. (Ireland is another thing that gives me joy, I wasn't there for enough but every time it was just... Bring me back please)
Sketchbooks. I am a art supplies hoarder, but sketchbooks are the one thing I like the most. I don't go outside without one in my purse, the fact that you have a book to be filled with what you want is just HHHHHHHHHHH so nice, it gives me so much joy. I tend to be a perfectionist, but I'm slowly trying to get rid of it and just... Do it for sketches, who cares if they're ugly.
I love to glimpse of personality in art. For both books and paintings, sculptures, movies, comics... I just love when you look at some form of art and realise the little quirks, what the author didn't like to do, or what they just love. Tolkien going on for two pages to list plants in the Ithilien because he just loved greeneries. Pushkin being overly enthusiastic about feet (Pushkin was the biggest feet fetishist... And you can't hate it for it because the way he uses words...! AAAW.). Michelangelo that was perfect but couldn't bother to paint or sculpt women because he never saw a pair of boobs in his life. It's not highlighting mistakes, it's just... I think it makes authors human, and that much closer to us. What I don't miss about the academic field is this aura of sacrality about classic authors that's... Boring. I just love to spot these little things and remind myself that big ass authors/painter/artists were just humans like you and me, with all their flaws and all the things they didn't really know how to do... but did anyway. You don't need to be perfect if MICHELANGELO can allow mistakes, no?
One more: anything Tolkien. There's just something so soothing about his writing and the way he shapes stories. I know the Silmarillion is heavy but... Consider reading his shorter books. Tree and Leaf is something that always moves me to tears, and please please do yourself a favour and read his children literature. "Roverandom" is a tale he invented for his son Christopher, to soothe him when he lost his favourite toy at the beach. He invented the story of that toy, a dog, to explain to the child that oh no don't worry your toy dog, Rover, was actually a real dog turned into a toy by a wizard, he didn't get lost, he just got home! He loved you very much but he had to return a real dog you see! You helped him find his way back!
... sorry I had to include another, hope you don't mind. :P
And HELLO new followers I'm Arja and when they distributed synthetical abilities I was trying to pet a doggo.
(also doggos gives me so much joy. If the day is grey and a doggo by the street sniffs my hand and lick me or let me pet them, the day is instantly saved.)
Tagging: @salsedine @coloricioso @heniareth @melisusthewee @rowanisawriter @zenstrike @eowyn7023 (hi!) @rosella-writes @scribbledquillz @herearedragons @idolsgf
And YOU!
