Gallery Id: NicoleSimblr (check the ‘include custom content’ or it won’t show up). Click here for the lite cc version.
Finally able to share the long-awaited hospital build. I hope you all love it and it lives up to your expectations! 
Floor plan and additional information, including CC list and how to set up birth suite below. 
Floor Plan
Tumblr media
Important Information
Enable bb.moveobjects when placing down
I tried to playtest as much as I could for birthing experience but did not have time to try out with the doctor career, so I apologize in advance for any hiccups.
I used gshade preset spring bubbles by jayica, so colors might look different for you
Please tag me if you use this build, it makes me so happy to see my lots be part of your sims stories! 
This built was primarily made to be used with pandasama’s birthing mod. I recommend potentially removing the door (or locking access) to the pediatric room and the doctors office in the second floor to ensure your sim sticks to the birthing suite. 
Speaking of the birthing suite, if I want my sim to have a regular birth using the pandasama birth mod, then I start off with the default hospital bed already in the room and when the time comes to deliver I go into build mode (bb.enablefreebuild) and switch the hospital bed for the surgery machine. If you want to go c-section route then use the birthing suite up until its time and then go into the surgery room (I recommend the one at the very end of the hallway which has the baby decor)

(oof tumblr absolutely destroyed the quality of this moodboard I’m sorry y’all 😭)
Tumblr media
You suppress a shiver at the feeling of your husband’s hand trailing up your thigh, his other hand on the steering wheel as you head home.
The two of you had been making eyes at each other and leaving lingering touches all night, so when you finally arrive home, it comes as no surprise that Harry wastes no time in leading you up to your bedroom.
He presses you up against the bedroom door, his lips just barely out of reach, a teasing, predatory glint in his eye.
“Harry…” you whine softly, aching to have his mouth on yours, your gaze locked on his pretty lips.
Two fingers lift your chin, forcing your gaze up to meet his.
“Major.”
Oh, Christ. Just when you thought you couldn’t get any wetter…
“Not Harry or Bing tonight, sweet girl.” he murmurs, thumb dragging lightly over your bottom lip as his brown eyes darken, “Major.”
You feel like you’re on fire, every part of you melting as you gulp and whisper “Yes, Major.”
He hums approvingly.
“Good girl.”
Forget melting, you’re evaporating under the heat of his gaze as his fingertips trail teasingly up your side before he steps away, pulling you with him.
He toys with the side snaps of your dress as he perches on the edge of your bed, leaving you standing between his spread legs.
“Take this off, honey,” he murmurs, his voice soft but the words clearly an order.
“Yes, Major,” you breathe, suppressing a shiver as your hands fumble with the snaps, undoing each one until your dress falls to the floor, leaving you in your slip.
His eyes drink you in, fingers barely skimming over the white satin of your slip, and you think you might actually die if he doesn’t touch you properly soon.
Harry notes this — of course he does, with those navigator eyes.
“Tell me what you want.”
You do, even though you know he won’t do it right away. Bing isn’t quite a tease, per se, but he tends to draw things out. Make you wait for what you want.
Still, you manage to let out a soft whine.
“Want you to touch me, please.”
“I will, honey, I will.” He assures you softly, though the pressure of his fingertips remains infuriatingly light, mouth twitching up into the smallest of smiles as he adds, “In a minute.”
You bite back a despairing moan as his hands leave you entirely.
“Lay down, sweetheart,” he nods to the bed as he stands, moving to undo his tie and unbutton his shirt.
Enraptured by the view before you, you simply nod as you climb onto the mattress, keeping your eyes on the increasing patch of chest hair being revealed to you, dog tags dangling in the middle of his chest.
“Words, honey,” Harry reminds you in a gentle-sharp tone that has delicious shivers racing up your spine— ones that definitely have nothing to do with the way his hands are currently moving to his belt.
“I— Yes, Major,” you whine, gripping the sheets none too delicately as you settle on your back onto the pillows.
“Good girl,” he says softly, his slacks joining the growing pile of clothes on the floor.
Finally he touches you again: a featherlight drag of his fingers along your calf, prompting you to lift it.
You let out a shaky exhale as Harry bends to brush light, barely-there kisses along your calf, up your knee, towards where the hem of your slip brushes your thigh.
Praying that he’ll have mercy on you and give you what you want, you sigh a soft “Please, Major.”
“I will, sweetheart. I promise I will.” He mumbles against your skin, his lips moving… not underneath your slip, as you had hoped, but pressing light kisses to your body through the thin satin covering it.
“Fuck, you’re so pretty, darling,” he murmurs, his lips dragging over your still-covered chest and up along your neck as he moves to hover over you.
You let out a soft whimper when his pretty brown eyes lock on yours, his hand trailing back down along the curves of your body to slide just underneath the hem of your slip, fingertips trailing up the inside of your thigh.
He inhales sharply as he brushes against the damp fabric covering your core.
“Oh, honey,” he breathes, “All that for me?”
“Yes, yes, I—” you ramble, “All for you, Major, please—”
“Shhh, I gotcha, sweetheart,” he murmurs, watching rapt as he slips a finger under your panties to drag through your damp folds.
You let out a high, keening whine, throwing your head back as he slowly pushes one finger into you, pumping in and out before adding a second.
Soft whines escape as he fingers you, mumbles of “feels good” and “more, want more, please” tumbling from your lips as he remains infuriatingly steady in his rhythm. His thumb darts out from where his other hand is resting on the pillows next to your head to stroke along your cheek, his way of getting your attention.
As your eyes meet his once more, he asks in a low tone, still maintaining that slow, steady rhythm in and out of you, “You want more?”
At your furious nodding, a gasp of “yes, please” escaping you, he hums.
“Please what?”
You can hardly think, your need for more speed, more something taking up a majority of your brain, but you manage to dredge up a plea of “Please, Major,” and suddenly more is happening.
Harry slips a third finger inside you, an act that has you moaning loudly at the stretch, and that combined with his thumb on your clit and the pace that suddenly feels faster than a B-17 has you tumbling over the edge with a cry.
You come back to yourself, legs shaking, in time to feel him gently remove his fingers. You let out a soft whine at the sudden emptiness, letting your eyes open to a sight that has heat rushing to your core all over again.
Your husband has his fingers in his mouth, cleaning them of your release, and when he meets your eyes you see something utterly molten in his gaze.
“Christ, honey…” he groans, moving to hover over you properly once more, “You stay right here, yeah? Something I wanna do…”
With that, he moves down your body, pressing kisses over your slip to your chest, your stomach, until he’s settled between your legs, pressing soft kisses to the inside of your thighs.
You crane your neck to watch as he slowly lifts the hem of your slip, revealing your underwear. You watch, holding your breath as he maintains eye contact and brushes a kiss to your core over the fabric covering you as his fingers toy with the waistband.
“‘M gonna take these off now, alright, sweetheart?”
You suppress a gasp at the words mumbled so close to your most sensitive parts.
“Yes, Major.” You nod, and can’t help adding a soft “please.”
You feel him grinning as he presses a kiss to your thigh.
“Good girl.”
He gently peels off your underwear, adding it to the pile of clothes on your bedroom floor.
“Oh, sweetheart,” he sighs, lips a hairsbreadth away from your core, “do you have any idea how pretty you look from down here?”
Before you can even think of replying, his mouth is on you and your hands are flying to grip his hair with a gasp.
You cry out his name before you can correct yourself, hips arcing off the bed, and as soon as it was there, his mouth is gone.
“What was that, sweetheart?” He asks lowly.
“I—”
It takes your mind a moment to catch up, but when you do…
“You said you were gonna be good for me, honey,” he warns, his mouth still far too close to your core for you to truly think clearly, “So let’s try again. What’s my name?”
He licks a fat stripe up through your folds, and you throw your head back onto the pillows with a cry of his rank.
“Major!”
“Much better,” he praises in mumbles against you, “good girl.”
The room fills with your whines and gasps and moans as you lose the ability to form words entirely when Harry’s thumb comes up to gently circle your clit, the combination of his tongue inside you and his thumb on the bundle of nerves enough to have you quickly approaching your second orgasm of the night.
“M-Major…” you stammer out between whines, your fingers raking roughly through his curls.
“Already, darling?” He murmurs against you, sounding almost amused, “Go on then, honey. Let go, it’s okay.”
You reach your second climax with your husband's rank on your tongue and his tongue on your core as he greedily laps up your release.
“Fuck, you taste absolutely perfect, sweetheart,” he sighs as he returns to hover over you, capturing your lips in a heated kiss before rolling off of you briefly to wriggle out of his boxers.
“Think you can give me one more, honey?” He asks softly, grinding his length slowly against you.
You can’t help it: you moan out loud at the feeling of him against you before confirming with a pleading “Yes, Major, yes please, I want to—”
“Christ, sweetheart, okay, okay,” he murmurs, breath hitching as the tip of his cock snags on your entrance. He rocks forward, letting out a groan as he sinks into you.
“Oh- shit, honey, you’re perfect,” he sighs against your lips, your breaths mingling as you gasp into his mouth.
His eyes remain locked on your own as he slowly pulls out and thrusts back into you, hips snapping determinedly against yours. You give in to the urge to squeeze your eyes shut, clamping down on your bottom lip to bite back a moan as he hits deep inside you.
Your eyes fly open once more as he gives a sharp nip to your neck, his nose dragging along your jaw as he murmurs, “Wanna hear you, darling, lemme hear you, come on…”
Your mouth falls open to let out a wanton moan, words tumbling out as tension builds within you with every thrust.
“Major— Major, don’t stop, please, feels so good—”
“Just like that, sweetheart,” he pants against you, feeling you clench around him, “Come on, give me one more, just one more, honey.”
You shatter as you reach your third climax of the night, your body nearly going limp as you cry out. He buries his face in your neck as, with two more erratic thrusts, he follows suit with a shuddering cry before slumping against you, utterly spent.
He presses sloppy kisses up your neck as the two of you attempt to catch your breath, murmuring gentle praise as he pulls out of you — “you’re perfect, angel, did so good for me, such a good girl” — huffing out a laugh as you whine at the sudden emptiness.
“You alright, sweetheart?” He asks softly as he settles in next to you, pulling you into his chest, “It wasn’t too much, was it?”
You hum contentedly, toying with the tags dangling in the middle of his chest.
“Not at all, Major,” you assure him, a teasing sparkle in your eyes on the last word. He laughs, and you continue, “It was perfect, Harry.”
His eyes go soft hearing his name, and he leans down to capture your lips in a sweet kiss. 
“I love you,” he murmurs against your lips, thumb stroking gently along your cheek.
“I love you too, Bing,” you say softly, raking your fingers through his mussed curls.
He pulls you closer, resting your head on his chest as you finally allow sleep to overtake you both.

Going All-American
When Arthur Harris first made his way out of his flat to go check his mailbox, the man had solely been expecting to come across unexciting yet expensive content like bills. Upon gripping onto the solid stack of envelopes and beginning to filter through them, the man’s assumptions were mostly proven to be correct. However, it was the very last envelope that Arthur saw that caught his eye. From just the envelope itself, Arthur’s attention was further pulled in by the fact that his name and address were handwritten onto it along with the several stamps running along the top left corner displaying an American flag. Clearly, this was a personal and international piece of postage that he received, but the fact that there was no return address listed immediately piqued the man’s interest even further.
Upon making his way back up to his flat and hastily tearing open the envelope, the man’s mind was running rampant in the possible content of the postage as he pulled open the letter to figure out its contents. To his surprise, Arthur found a piece of paper that was chock-full of text that he cautiously skimmed through. While reading through the first letter, a slight grin emerged on his face as he found himself coming across a professional-looking note that stated that he had won a trip to California. Although he had no real recollection about applying for a contest or sweepstakes, that didn’t matter once he discovered what he would be doing there.
Congratulations, You (Arthur Harris) are the grand prize winner of the sweepstakes to win an all-expense paid trip to Los Angeles! While you are here, you’ll be shuttled to the set of the hit television show All-American, where you will be able to explore the sets and meet all of your favorite actors. Please be ready on the date listed as a car will be waiting for you to take you to the airport for your departure to Los Angeles. We look forward to giving you an “All-American” experience in more ways than one! Sincerely, S-C Productions
“Holy shit!” Arthur said, the letter slipping from his hand as his entire body began to buzz with excitement. Although he wanted so badly to jump up and down in glee and loudly cry out for his excitement, his respect and care for his flatmates caused him to hold back and conceal his emotions as best as he could. Getting a free trip to LA was exciting enough, but the added bonus of getting to travel to the set of All-American was a dream come true. Certainly it would be interesting for the man to witness the entire process of filming given his own interest in film and cinematography, but even more so when one of his biggest crushes was in frame.
Ever since Arthur had first watched Cody Christian arrive on his television screen as Theo in the Teen Wolf TV show, the man was instantly smitten with him. Not only did Cody perfectly play the role of a cocky and self-assured asshole, but he was also incredibly hot while doing so! Every time Arthur watched an episode of the show, Cody was one of the main reasons behind his continued viewing despite the show’s consistent dip in quality. Unfortunately, Cody’s role as a side character that bumped heads with Tyler Posey’s Scott McCall wasn’t enough to keep Arthur engaged though as Arthur ultimately dropped the show before it even finished airing.
As such, Arthur’s thirst for the actor lessened for a bit as he only focused on seeing the hunky man via social media or Tumblr via gif-sets. Luckily though, a renewed interest emerged when Cody landed the role of Asher on the TV show All-American. Not only did the show catch Arthur’s interest because it caused him to fall back in love with Cody, but it also perfectly meshed with his own interests as it was a show about football players… especially since Cody was playing a cocky and materialistic football player named Asher.
Tumblr media
Given how much this was a dream come true, Arthur still found himself quite unsure whether this was really happening or if he had somehow fallen asleep accidentally and was thus having the best possible dream. After a painful pinch informed him that this was truly reality, the man tilted his head back down towards the floor to look for the letter once more. Upon doing so though, he saw that the letter was flipped onto its backside after falling to the floor. While this wasn’t anything to write home about, glancing at the piece of paper revealed that there was more important information included onto the back.
Reading through, Arthur quickly skimmed through an itinerary that listed what Arthur would experience throughout his trip. The trip to the All-American set was seemingly meant to take up most of the day according to the list, but Arthur didn’t mind when he read about how the set would provide several meals throughout along with getting to watch several scenes get filmed along with a meet and greet with several of the actors.
As his hands continued to travel down the sheet as he read, his attention soon was caught by the firm slip of paper affixed to the bottom of the paper. Upon looking down, Arthur’s eyes widened as he saw that an airline ticket was already ready to go for him. While it was a relief that the studio had seemingly already worked ahead to get everything ready for the trip, the man was understandably confused about how they knew where he was located and concerned about when he was going to go on this trip. While seeing that the date was on November 22nd, Arthur was quite caught off-guard when he checked his work schedule and realized that he had somehow requested that day off. He had no idea why he would have done that, but he wasn’t going to fret about it too much when it benefited him.
Regardless of how the date aligned so well, Arthur was quite relieved to find that there would be no hassle in terms of getting in trouble at his job. It was a miracle that he had even received this surprise trip in the first place, so Arthur opted to not ask too many questions. In this quick acceptance of his surprise gift, Arthur failed to notice that the ticket was a one-way ticket rather than a round-trip, which would have given him a clue about the fact that his trip would end up becoming permanent. Instead, he quickly made his way back into his bedroom and began filling his suitcase with clothing that would work well with the humid LA weather he would soon be experiencing…
* * * * *
When the morning of the 22nd finally arrived and the alarm of his phone rang out, Arthur woke up with a smile on his face rather than his usual routine of groaning and hitting the snooze button. Excited for the impending trip, the man quickly got out of bed and dragged himself into the bathroom to shower. Upon getting done and tying a towel around his waist, Arthur made his way back into the bedroom. Just as he began to pull the towel off and change into clothes though, a loud pounding against his door caused Arthur to gasp and scream in shock. While trying to catch his breath from the real life jump-scare he had just experienced, Arthur slowly made his way towards the door of his room and took a look through the peephole.
While looking through, Arthur’s eyes caught sight of a burly yet well-dressed man who stood firm with his thick hands at his hips while looking at the door with an intimidating yet stoic expression.
“Uh hello, can I help you?” Arthur inquired, checking for a moment to confirm that the deadbolt and chain on his door were both fully locked. While this was certainly a realistic reaction to seeing the stranger outside his door, the British man let out a deep breath of relief and mentally scolded himself when the man stated that he was from S-C Productions and he was the driver to take him to the airport for his LA trip. Upon telling him that he was in the middle of getting dressed, the driver sternly told him that he had ten minutes before he was leaving - regardless of whether Arthur was in tow or not.
After apologizing and saying he’ll be done as soon as he can, Arthur rushed away from the door and began to change. Given the fact that he would be spending several hours in the cramped seating of a plane, he opted to dress in loose garments that would provide some much needed comfort throughout the hours-long trip. After quickly devouring a small bowl of cereal, Arthur grabbed onto his suitcases and made his way towards the door.
Before turning the knob and exiting though, Arthur stopped in front of the large full-body mirror on the backside of the room’s door to verify that he looked presentable given his haste. As he looked at himself and gave a slight smile to see how others would perceive him, the man was relieved to see that his biceps looked rather impressive given how much skin the tank top revealed. While the rest of his torso wasn’t nearly as buff as his biceps, the man still recognized the fact that he looked better than most people given his semi-regular gym routine. However, the continued staring at his mirror caused him to traverse down a dark mental rabbit hole of self-doubt considering that he would soon be in LA where it seemed like practically everyone would be a 10/10 with gorgeous physiques and perfect visages galore.
Shaking his head in hopes of pushing those intrusive thoughts away, the man finally took a deep breath and turned the handle to begin his journey to Los Angeles. Upon awkwardly introducing himself to the burly driver, Arthur followed the man as he led him down to the ground floor. Throughout the journey from exiting his flat and putting his luggage into the car, Arthur couldn’t help but stare at the impressively-built man. The man, who introduced himself as Wes, had a physique that was filling out the stylish black suit to the brink of having the fabric tear. Following behind Wes was a blessing in disguise for the British man as he got to watch the man’s perky yet firm ass fill out the seat of his pants and bounce with each footfall he took.
Throughout the drive to the airport, Arthur tried his best to make small talk with the intimidating man. Unfortunately, conversations quickly stalled when Wes told Arthur that he needed to focus on traffic to get him to the airport as quickly and safely as possible. Upon arriving at the airport, where Wes quickly told him to get out before speeding off to do another job, Arthur momentarily mourned for the missed connection he had with the man.
But as he grabbed his luggage and began to walk through security and towards his departure gate, Arthur’s mind shifted focus away from Wes and back onto his thirst for Cody. Due to just how excited yet exhausted he was from the early morning wake-up call, Arthur found himself soon falling asleep upon putting his luggage away and taking his seat. As he quickly fell into a state of slumber though, the continued thoughts of Cody Christian and his thirst for the man soon led to a rather erotic sex dream that involved Arthur worshipping the hunk’s muscular body and easily helped the hours-long flight fly by as he felt no desire to wake up no matter how much turbulence he felt.
Upon the plane landing and a young female attendant softly shaking him awake, Arthur moved in a dazed state as he exited the plane. Given his total discombobulation about the new area along with not knowing where to go to pick up the luggage, he opted to just follow the crowd through the terminal towards the correct area. Luckily, Arthur’s luggage was one of the first few pieces to arrive, so he was able to escape the large crowd and make his way towards the taxi area of the airport where the letter stated that someone from the studio would be there to pick him up.
After a bit of getting lost and having to ask for directions, Arthur finally made his way to the correct area where he looked through the long aisle of drivers holding signs with their intended client’s name. At first annoyed that it took two rounds of searching through the crowd of drivers to find the one holding his name, Arthur quickly began to recognize why when he walked up to the hand extended through the crowd and discovered that his driver was a rail-thin man cramped between two chubby drivers.
Upon asking for the men to move, Arthur pulled the mousy man through and revealed himself. “Hey there, I’m Arthur. Are you the driver from S-C Productions?” he inquired, trying to make sure he wasn’t taking the wrong Arthur’s ride.
While he awaited a response, the British man quickly took a look up and down to observe the man he’d seemingly be working with throughout the entire trip. The man was rather tiny, with a height that just barely reached 5’5” and a weight that refused to go past 95 pounds. The man’s face looked rather impressive with the angular jawline, high cheekbones, and bright blue eyes, but Peter’s thick black-rimmed glasses and low weight counteracted those features and instead made him look nerdy and rather malnourished.
“Hey there, I’m not a driver but I am here to pick you up and take you to the studio though. I’m Peter,” he began, stopping to extend a hand out, which Arthur quickly accepted as they did a quick handshake. “I’m an intern at the studio, they needed someone to pick you up and I volunteered. It certainly beats doing coffee runs and dealing with difficult actors, am I right?” he said, his high-pitched and whiny voice shifting into a deep and wheezy chuckle that understandably took Arthur off-guard.
“Oh ok, uh, it’s nice to meet you then Peter,” Arthur responded, returning the chuckle to help the dorky-looking man not feel self-conscious before pulling his lips into a light smile. Although Peter tried his best to appear official by offering to take Arthur’s luggage, the British man feared possibly injuring the man due to how hefty his bags were and thus declined the offer and said he’d carry them himself. At first, Peter seemed a bit caught off-guard by the kind behavior, but when his expression turned appreciative with a wide smile, it was clear that the young intern appreciated not being treated as the help for once.
So upon leading the way to the black Escalade that the studio had told Peter to use to pick him up, Arthur deposited his bags into the backseat before hopping into the passenger seat. As Peter finally put the car into motion and drove out of the airport, Arthur’s eyes widened as the intern surprised the retail cashier with a quick little tour of LA as they made their way towards the studio. It was incredibly exciting for a cinephile like Arthur to get a quick glimpse of famous locales like the Hollywood sign or the Griffith Observatory. Despite the slight intimidation those locales provided in terms of realizing the impact and level of celebrity he was going to be around as a result, Arthur found himself remaining calm as Peter finally made his way towards the studio entrance.
After making a moment of small talk with the security guards out front, Peter showed off an ID badge that allowed the gates to open and for the intern to continue driving. As he made his way through the busy backlot, Arthur’s eyes couldn’t help but wildly dart in hopes of seeing any famous celebrities in the midst of walking to set or coming out of any of the trailers that lined the outer edges of the road. Unfortunately, he wasn’t able to see anyone of note beyond what appeared to be some stunt actors decked out in some recognizable costumes.
While he continued to search around, Arthur’s frantic attempts were suddenly interrupted as Peter put the car into park and caused you to violently lurch forward from the fast braking. Upon looking over towards the meek man, who apologized for the abrupt stop, Arthur decided to ignore the whiplash and unbuckle his seatbelt. Before exiting though, Peter quickly ran through the itinerary to remind him of the schedule for the day. First, Peter would give Arthur an in-depth tour of the All-American sets that weren’t currently in use. Then after getting some lunch, Arthur would be ushered to the current filming locations where he’d be able to watch some takes and meet the actors of the show. Upon finishing that, he’d be led to the writers room, where he could discuss screenwriting with them, before heading to get some dinner courtesy of the studio’s lavish buffet. After this was finished then, Peter would drive Arthur to the hotel that the contest had purchased for the night.
With the itinerary for the day repeated to him by Peter, Arthur eagerly smiled before getting out of the car so the tour could finally begin. Luckily, the tour was fairly impressive to Arthur, as evident by the wide smile on his face as he saw the sets of the show and began to recall countless scenes (and gifs from Tumblr) where Cody was involved. Although there were many interesting sets that Peter led him through, Arthur was by far the most captivated by the set of the college gym. The mental images of several workout gifs that he had seen (and even jerked off to) continued to play in his mind as his hands grazed along the freshly cleaned equipment.
Tumblr media
In all honesty, it was a bit of a bummer that it was so freshly cleaned because Arthur would have wanted nothing more than to get remnants of Cody’s sweat onto his fingers and catch a whiff of the surely alluring scent. Was it a bit creepy to think about getting off to an unsuspecting actor’s sweat? Sure, but Arthur knew that it was the wholehearted truth and felt no shame as a result.
Upon finishing up with that standout set, Peter followed it up by announcing that it was time for lunch given how hungry the Brit must be after the flight and drive to the studio. Although Arthur didn’t originally think about his appetite due to his excitement about eventually meeting Cody, the sudden gurgle deep in his gut was so loud that it echoed through the empty set and caused him to agree with Peter’s assumption. After following him through the seemingly empty studio, Arthur soon picked up on the sound of several distant voices that grew increasingly more prominent with each step he took. Peter pulled back a black curtain and motioned for Arthur to enter first, which caused him to quickly find himself in the middle of a craft services room. As the intern returned to the front to lead Arthur through the crowd of confused and curious low-tier members of the cast and crew, Peter took a moment to introduce Arthur to everyone and explain the reason behind his inclusion on set.
After Peter led him to the table to get a plate of food, which ended up being a filling yet basic meal of a sub sandwich and some chips, Arthur took the time to walk around and network with the crew members in between bites of his food. Given his own interest in film and the lesson plans that he’s had to do in the past involving cinematography, the man had a decent time talking with the lighting and camera operators to learn directly from them about their job and how they work to create the best possible show.
Although Arthur could have spent much longer chatting with people, the alarm of a clock rang out to signal that the end of lunch had arrived. While several of the crew members had their expressions sour as they returned to their job, Arthur stood out as he grinned in joy due to the realization that it was finally time to move onto his most anticipated part of the set visit - it was time to watch filming commence and meet some of the cast of the show.
As Peter led him through a door, Arthur was caught off-guard when the dense California air hit him. Looking around, the man soon discovered that not only was the set they were filming on was outside but it was a scene being filmed on a replica football field. Although the football field wasn’t completely legit given the fact that size constraints meant that they were shooting on a small plot of land rather than a 100 yard long area, the illusion was certainly still realistic to Arthur while seeing all of these actors decked out in football gear. In fact, the cameras were currently rolling as they filmed an actor sprinting before turning behind him to catch a football. Stunned at just how realistic the play felt, Arthur was utterly transfixed as the director called cut and the football player dropped the ball before sauntering out of the frame and gruffly demanding for someone to get him water.
Tumblr media
Given Arthur’s own thirst for cocky and dominant men, his eyes remained trained on the mystery actor while admiring the man’s physique. From just that single take that Arthur observed, he was able to immediately pick up on how buff the man was. While watching that take as it occurred, his attention was instantly caught by the moderately firm set of quad muscles and the sizable ass that tightly bounced against the athletic shorts that he was wearing. Although the man wasn’t a real football player, he certainly could have been one with such an impressive build!
While Arthur watched the still-helmeted actor move to the side and get crowded by a bunch of assistants (where one of them handed him a styrofoam cup full of water), he couldn’t force himself to direct his attention elsewhere. Even as Peter basically dragged Arthur closer towards some of the cast and crew, Arthur remained utterly transfixed by the man’s sweat-soaked skin that glimmered in the sunlight and only showcased an impressive set of biceps that caused the fabric around his arms to bunch up. As such, Arthur endured an incredible shock when the mystery man finally pulled off the helmet and revealed that the man was none other than Cody Christian himself.
“Ho- holy shit,” Arthur said under his breath, although his panic and shock caused it to be a bit louder than he intended as he saw several people turn to look at him confused. Now that’s one way to make an entrance, Arthur thought to himself, instantly replaying the scene he witnessed in his head over and over. Of course, the reveal that Cody was practically next to him elicited a physical response in the form of a sizable bulge that pressed out against his shorts. After moving his hands down to try and conceal the untimely boner that he had sprung, Arthur’s thirsting session was interrupted as Peter caught his attention and told him that it was time to meet some of the cast while they took a break from filming.
Although he meant no disrespect to the other cast members that Peter introduced him to, Arthur couldn’t help but make quick small talk with the people before using his peripheral vision to see what Cody was up to. Based on the few glances he had taken throughout, it seemed as though the man’s personality wasn’t too far from the characters that he often played. From what he could see and partially hear, it seemed as though Cody was having a tantrum and yelling at his assistants and other crew members due to how hot the conditions were outside and how they didn’t respect him enough to keep him hydrated by having water ready for him.
As previously mentioned, Arthur loved himself a bad boy, so while this would be a turn-off to some people, it only made the actor more desirable in his eyes. While the cashier certainly didn’t like how Cody was treated the staff, his mind twisted the man’s behavior and speech into a more sexual context as he envisioned himself intimate with the hunky actor. It wasn’t often that the asexual had vivid sex dreams, but something about Cody just unlocked something deep in him that left him yearning for any kind of physical intimacy imaginable.
This sexual daydream was quickly interrupted by Peter, who tapped Arthur on his shoulder and broke up out of that daze. “Hey Arthur, was there anyone here on set that you were specifically wanting to meet today? If so, I can try to see if I can get a meeting with them. If they’re not here on set today, I could always try to pull some strings by contacting their agent or manager and arranging a FaceTime session with them,” he inquired, giving a reassuring smile that caused Arthur to lean in and whisper Cody’s name. “Ah I see, well let’s see what I can do about that then huh,” Peter continued, smiling and patting Arthur on the back before using that arm to push him forward towards his celebrity crush.
Even though the journey was only a few feet, it felt like an eternity for Arthur as he watched his body traveling closer and closer to Cody. Once he was two feet away from the actor’s group surrounding him, Arthur couldn’t help but gasp as Peter loudly spoke to gain their attention. “Excuse me, excuse me,” he began, smiling as his voice was able to break through the small group and get everyone (including Cody) to turn and look at Peter and Arthur’s direction. “Hey there, this is Arthur Harris, he won a contest through the studio for a special set tour and meet and greet with the cast of All-American. According to Arthur, he’s a big fan of yours Mr. Christian, so I thought it would be nice to properly introduce you two,” he said, keeping a chipper smile on his face even though Cody’s expression remained cold and quite clearly rageful.
“Uh hi there, it’s a pleasure to meet you,” Arthur stammered out, which caused a few people in Cody’s posse to pause upon hearing the British accent he was speaking with. “I’ve been a big fan for years, so it’s really awesome to get this-,” he continued, suddenly interrupted when Cody huffed loudly and began to speak.
“Hey dude, it’s great that you won this random contest or whatever, but I’m like really not in the mood for a meet and greet. Plus, I’m like, really in the zone with my acting right now. So even if I wanted to spend my precious time chatting with some obsessed British fan, I really don’t have the right mentality for this right now,” he coldly said, which immediately provided a soul-crushing blow to Arthur given how direct and biting his words were.
Even though the man had never met the British man before, his phrasing was so direct it seemed as though they had been enemies for years! Although he wasn’t the most vocal person around, the cruel words had struck a chord with Arthur and thus he felt a desire to make his opinion heard by the cocky actor. But just as he began to take a breath to speak, Arthur was interrupted as Cody angrily cursed and caused everyone on set to look at the interaction going on.
“Bro, I really don’t give a shit about what you have to say. Like, you’re a nobody and I’m Cody Christian. Everything about you pales in comparison to me. So how about this, why don’t you get the fuck off my set so we can finish our scenes and I can go home. The sooner I can forget about you and your dumbass fanboy behavior, the better!”
Tumblr media
Throughout the entire experience, Arthur could feel tears starting to well up in his eyes as he looked around and found that everyone there bore witness to his humiliation at the hands of the actor. Although he wanted so badly to tell the actor off and give him a taste of his own medicine, the fear of further punishment and potentially causing the actor to snap and get violent towards him caused him to back down. Instead, he allowed Peter to lead the way as the intern led the embarrassed man away from set to somewhere more secluded.
This location ended up being a small crew trailer that was quite a bit away from the liveliness of the active film crews. Upon entering, Arthur finally allowed his emotions to show as he began to actively tear up and try to release the pent-up emotions that he was feeling. Throughout, Peter found himself trying his best to console the man and lift his spirits, but it seemed to be no use. Then a light bulb suddenly flicked on in Peter’s head and caused him to smile and look down towards Arthur.
“Hey, don’t get upset about that asshole. What would you say if I potentially had a way to get some revenge on Cody?” Peter inquired, which immediately caused Arthur to stop his sniffling and look up.
“Wha- what do you mean?” he said, taking a deep breath in between his words as he tried to calm himself back down.
“Let’s just say that I have… something special that could teach Cody a lesson and make him regret treating you like that. What would you say to that?”
“Say no more then, I’m interested. That asshole has no right to treat people like that just because he’s an actor. I want him to pay for what he’s done, I want him to feel the same intense sense of humiliation and shame that I feel right now…”
In response, Peter reached into the pocket of his pants and searched around for a moment. Upon pulling it out and extending his hand outwards, the nerdy intern dropped his clenched fist and allowed a necklace to unfurl out in front of Arthur’s face. “Well, I think I have something in mind that can do just that…”
Looking at it, Arthur saw that the necklace itself seemed rather simple and basic given the fact that it was a silver key with a small silver chain looped through it. But as he grabbed it with his hands to inspect it, a full body shiver coursed through Arthur’s body, which was seemingly enough to get him to go along with whatever plan Peter had in mind.
“Ok, tell me what’s going to happen then and what I need to do…”
* * * * *
At first, Arthur was quite worried that he wouldn’t be able to find Cody’s trailer despite Peter’s directions, but it seemed as though Cody’s ego made sure that that was impossible. While walking through the backlot, Arthur eventually stumbled in front of a trailer that proudly had Cody’s headshot taped to the front door along with a bold and unmissable text that displayed his full name. According to Peter, Cody often took breaks alone in the trailer around this time to “unwind” and “get in character”, so the duo figured that this would be the perfect opportunity for Arthur to enact his revenge against his tormentor. So after having a moment to take a deep breath and steady himself, Arthur gave himself an encouraging nod as he pulled open the trailer door and quickly walked into the premises.
Of course, as Arthur entered up the steps and made eye contact with the hunky actor as he sat back in a leather recliner, the man’s expression quickly changed from the lax and seemingly happy expression he was displaying. Bizarrely though, the expression it became wasn’t of rage but rather total confusion.
Tumblr media
“Wha- who the fuck are you?” Cody inquired, which only furthered Arthur’s annoyance and dedication to his current plan. The asshole didn’t even recognize him even though the interaction just occurred less than an hour ago!
Feeling emboldened by the power that Peter had seemingly gifted him, Arthur found himself standing strong and angrily responding to the actor’s questions. “I’m the wrong guy to mess with, you fucking asshole,” he cried out, taking a few steps closer to Cody and crossing his arms.
“Wait, you’re that fucking obsessed fan from earlier,” Cody sneered, getting a bit uncomfortable being stuck with who he assumed to be a total creep. “How did you find my goddamn trailer? What, did you think you were going to just come in here and try to see me naked or something? Get the fuck out before I call security and get your pervy ass put in jail!”
“Yeah, that’s not happening Cody. You’ve been an asshole to the wrong people, it’s about time you pay for all of the bullshit you’ve put me and this crew through. Luckily, I have the perfect way to make sure that you learn your lesson,” he began, stopping before revealing the answer and thus causing Cody to get a rare shiver of panic to course through his body.
“What, are you going to try and hurt me because I wouldn’t say hi and take a fucking selfie with you? Grow the fuck up! I was working, I don’t have the time for such worthless bullshit!”
“I’m not going to hurt you, but I am going to make you regret the way you not only treated me but those poor assistants of yours. There’s no reason for you to be so stuck up and rude to people. I was a big fan of yours and I just wanted to get the ability to properly say hi and tell you how much I appreciated your work. Instead, you brushed me off and made me feel worthless like those poor assistants of yours.”
“Oh, so you’re making threats now huh?” Cody retorted, immediately pushing himself up from the recliner and sauntering his way over towards Arthur. With each step, the actor tried to make himself appear even more intimidating by clenching his fists and cracking his knuckles, allowing the noise of the popping to fill the empty trailer until he was face-to-face with the fan. “I don’t take threats lightly, so I don’t think you know who you’re messing with. I don’t think you thought this plan through bro…”
“You think so? Actually, you’re exactly where I need you to be,” Arthur responded, a wide grin emerging onto his face as a sudden tingle emerged from his chest.
Looking down at it caused Cody’s eyes to follow suit, which caused him to discover the gem on the necklace that Arthur was now wearing violently shaking against his firm chest. While this originally could have been explained by the jock actor as some cheap gimmick or gag gift, the sudden levitation of the necklace was unexplainable.
“Holy shit,” Cody exclaimed, watching as the key rose up until it was no longer hanging around Arthur’s neck but rather extended straight out towards Cody’s own neck. “Wha, what is that shit? Are you a goddamn witch?”
Before Arthur could offer up a response to the hilarious assumption though, the key suddenly jerked forward and caused Arthur to be dragged along for the ride. Given the fact that there wasn’t much free space for the man to move given Cody standing in front of him, Arthur instinctively closed his eyes and braced for impact as it tugged him directly towards the confused actor. Despite the lack of any physical impact of their two bodies, the tugging seemingly had an unintended side effect as Arthur found himself quickly drifting off into unconsciousness as his newly comatose body remained stuck in place. If he had been awake and looked down at the necklace though, Arthur would have seen that the key had somehow plunged itself deep into the center of Cody’s neck and caused his gasps of shock to become muted.
Although it was painless for Cody, it was still quite terrifying to endure finding himself no longer able to speak as his throat was stabbed by the key. So while his mind originally focused on the fear of no longer being able to speak or deliver lines, a new fear began to emerge as he opened his eyes and watched as the crazed fan was going through an indescribable sight. The longer it looked, it seemed as though pieces of Arthur’s body were seemingly being pulled off of Arthur’s body and turning into particles that were sucked into the thick silver key like a vacuum. It was quite a horrific sight to watch as the man lost limbs and several pieces of his body until only his head and neck remained levitating in front of him. But soon enough, this too dispersed into particles that were also transferred into the mysterious yet magical key in front of him.
Even without a neck wrapped around it, this key remained stuck in place lodged into Cody’s neck. Cody could only gasp in shock and allow tears to fall down his face as he could feel motion emerging with the key. Looking down, he watched as the key somehow turned itself sideways into his flesh and made it appear as though it was unlocking a doorway.
In reality though, the necklace itself was a magical item that promised the ability to transfer souls. Upon getting in close contact of an intended target, the necklace would go into action by inserting itself into the subject’s neck and allowing the wearer’s body to evaporate as their soul was transferred into the necklace as a sort of holding chamber. Upon having the necklace turned, it unlocked the usually impenetrable soul of the human body and allowed for the wearer’s soul to invade.
So as this unlocking occurred, the entirety of Arthur’s soul traversed into Cody’s neck and began to disperse itself throughout all of Cody’s body. With each additional second after this invasion, Cody found himself growing fainter and fainter as he lost all of his motor control and senses. Once every piece of this was taken from Cody and traded to its new host, Cody’s soul lost consciousness and caused the body of the hunky actor to suddenly collapse and fall to the floor. Upon making an impact, the key suddenly popped out of Cody’s throat and bounced across the wood floors of the trailer a few times before finally settling.
Out of nowhere, Arthur suddenly gasped as he was slingshot back into the realm of reality. Upon finding himself on the floor of the trailer, the man grimaced and groaned as he reached onto the end of the leather recliner and pushed himself back up to his feet. Looking around for a moment, Arthur’s eyes widened as he looked around and realized that he was alone now. As he took a look down at himself and saw the firm physique stretched out in the same clothes that he had previously seen Cody wearing, it didn’t take many more context clues for him to figure out what had occurred. “Holy shit, I’m Cody Christian,” he said, chuckling as his cock began to immediately harden at the thought of being in the body of his celebrity crush.
Eager to get a better look at himself, Arthur quickly grabbed onto the necklace on the floor and put it on before pacing through the small yet spacious trailer in search of a mirror. Upon finding a bathroom door and heading inside, the man flicked the light on and smiled gleefully as he saw Cody Christian staring back at his reflection. What soon followed was a rather intimate and erotic session of feeling up his body and admiring the gorgeous physique. As he lifted up his arms and flexed, the man’s cock throbbed and began leaking pre-cum due to just how erotic this all was. He was already a fan of transformation content, but the concept of actually experiencing a transformation of his own into one of his celebrity crushes was truly a dream come true.
Tumblr media
“Serves you right you fucking asshole,” Arthur remarked, chuckling while hearing the sound of Cody’s voice saying his words now. “Yeah, I know you’re still down there deep down. A little perk of using this trusty necklace made it so you’re still able to witness and feel everything that I do while I’m in control. You made me feel extreme amounts of shame and embarrassment from just simply saying hello, so I’m going to make every day of your life a living hell now.”
Before Arthur could continue explaining how exactly he was going to go about torturing the real soul of Cody Christian, a knock on the actor’s trailer door caused him to stop. Upon taking a moment to calm down and try his best to adopt Cody’s talking style, Arthur took a deep inhale and exhaled before making his way out towards the door. Pulling it open though, the man smiled widely as he saw Peter standing on Cody’s doorstep.
“Did it work?” the intern asked, trying his best to play it cool in case the real Cody was still around.
While he at first tried to play it cool and pretend as though he was really Cody, Arthur couldn’t keep the charade up long and thus broke character by curling his lips into a devious smirk. “Oh yeah, it worked,” Arthur said with a chuckle. “The Cody Christian that you know is now no longer in control…”
Opening the door wide to allow Peter inside, Arthur quickly slammed the trailer door shut and locked it as he prepared to get a crash course on acting and get a head start learning Cody’s lines before he’s required to head back to set in 20 minutes. Although it was certainly a struggle at first trying to comprehend the intricacies of acting and learning what Asher’s plotlines have been so far this season, it was totally worth it when it was finally time to change into the clothing necessary for the next scenes. When Arthur was handed a hanger that contained Asher’s football uniform, the man was buzzing with excitement as he headed into the bathroom and changed into his clothing. Despite wanting so badly to spend time checking out his new body nude and admiring every inch of his godly new muscles, Arthur was adamant about the fact that the new Cody Christian wouldn’t be tardy or a drama queen in any regard. As such, he pushed aside his erotic urges and instead pulled the uniform on.
While doing so, Arthur still had a blast as he was able to find his two favorite things colliding together into one thing. Not only was he now in the body of his celebrity crush but he was also getting dressed in an accurate football that was quite similar to those that the NFL players he thirsted for wore. It was an absolute dream come true! This was especially true taking a moment to check himself out in the mirror and seeing how the padded football pants helped his thighs and ass look impeccable while the skintight compression shirt fully showcased the strong arms, modest pecs, and broad shoulders that he could now call his own.
Upon pulling on the shoulder pads and then putting on the jersey, Arthur’s cock, which was now a few inches longer, was consistently throbbing as the look was completed and he saw his reflection. He truly looked and felt like a football star! With this much needed boost of confidence from Cody’s previous taunting, Arthur was most certainly in high spirits. This was especially apparent as he looked into the mirror and gave himself a pep talk. “You’ve fucking got this, you’re Cody Christian and you’re even better than that shitty imposter!”
Tumblr media
With this pep talk completed while also riding on the high of further tormenting the real Cody trapped deep down inside, Arthur gave an elated grin towards his reflection before exiting the bathroom and allowing Peter to lead him to set.
* * * * *
As shooting for the day was called, Arthur Harris was quite relieved to know how well his first day as an actor went. While remembering lines was one of his biggest worries, it seemed to be seamless for him as if he had gained Cody’s own ability to act and recall lines. The biggest issue actually came in the form of having to do the full-on football scenes that required him to actually run plays and catch the ball while in the role of Cody’s wide-receiver character. Luckily though, a quick refresher from some crew on the show was able to help Arthur fully grasp the plays and successfully nail the scene by rushing down the fake field and scoring the game-winning touchdown. Although it was obviously fake given the field and the numerous takes it took to get it right, Arthur still felt like a star football player when he “scored” and clenched the win for his character’s team.
While his time watching the shooting of some scenes was relatively brief, it was quite apparent that things were dense due to Cody’s diva behavior. But given the fact that the real Cody was no longer around and Arthur was on a mission of turning Cody into a more respectful and calm person, things began to feel a bit less restrained as the crew and cast began to interact more and thus started to create a sense of harmony on set.
This continued into the night until filming was finally finished after doing a workout scene in the college gym that Arthur had often seen hot clips of Cody working out in. It was quite mind boggling to find himself in Cody’s body while in the area that had led him to have plenty of wanking material. Even more wild was the fact that the scene called for Cody to be working out shirtless (something that the crew told him was due to feedback from focus groups that were aiming to appeal to more female viewers). Given the fact that Arthur hadn’t really gotten a great chance to check out his shirtless body, he was more than willing to go along with such a concept and eagerly peeled off his shirt.
While the crew offered to mist his skin to make him appear like he had been sweating, Arthur was quick the shut the idea down. “Nah, I’d like to go method for this scene,” he cockily remarked, giving a wide smile to the director which seemingly convinced him to agree. With permission granted, Arthur spent a few minutes working out on several machines until he was dewy enough for the camera to pick up on it. 
Tumblr media
Once the scene was shot and filming concluded for the day, Arthur opted to stay back and spend a little bit extra time in the gym set. After saying goodbye and thanking the crew for their hard work, Arthur watched as everyone slowly filtered out and went home for the day besides himself and Peter. Upon waiting a few minutes to verify that there were no stragglers that could return in case they forgot something, the duo finally began to speak and discuss the events of the day.
After Peter gave high praise to Arthur for his performance as Cody Christian, the duo shifted gears to discuss some other elements to their deal. Obviously, given the fact that Peter was able to provide the unbelievable reality of possessing Cody, there would be a requirement to reward Peter for the gift he had bestowed upon Arthur. Although there could have been a sizable monetary requirement for such a priceless gift, Peter’s ask was quite simple. All he wanted in return for giving Arthur Cody’s body was the chance to admire the actor’s physique and achieve his fantasy of getting Cody Christian off however he desired.
Given the fact that Arthur knew that he would surely be horny in the aftermath of possessing Cody, it was a no-brainer for him to accept such a proposition. Not only did he get someone else willing to worship his body, but he also got to cum in the process! With the agreement out of the way, Arthur wasted no time pulling off his clothing and revealing to the both of them for the first time the nude physique of Cody Christian. 
As Arthur lifted his arms up and flexed his biceps, Peter was quick to jump into action by peppering kisses along his firm upper arms and running his tongue along the musky pits of the freshly sweaty actor. All through the experience, Arthur had a look of pure elation on his face as he savored the sensation of feeling incredibly strong and masculine. Although he had gained a rather impressive physique from his years of working out, the man was still rather meek and thus didn’t really use those muscles for much when it came to any romance and intimacy. With Cody though, that would all change since he felt like the total package.
To make matters even erotic, Peter was desperate to add more humiliation for the real Cody by moaning his name as he ran his arms along Arthur’s back and firmly used a hand to squeeze each perky ass cheek that he now had. While his hands then traversed back up Cody’s broad back and moved to the front, Arthur even chimed in talking about how great it was to have his body felt up by someone smaller than him. This tit-for-tat continued between the duo as Peter cupped Arthur’s pecs and ran his tongue along the man’s washboard abs while Arthur continued on the slight taunting towards the thinner man.
Tumblr media
The idea seemed to be rather effective, as both men were soon rock hard and begging for release. Luckily, Peter recognized this fact for both of them and opted to do something about it. As he got down onto his knees and began to focus on toying with Arthur’s new cock, the former British man fell back onto the seat of the bench press and lifted his arms up while gasping. Despite seeming like a total novice when it came to sex, it appeared as though Peter was an expert as he sensually ran his tongue along Arthur’s new 9.5” shaft and even took a moment run his hands underneath Cody’s sweat-stained shorts to play with the straight actor’s tight asshole. Luckily though, the main event finally arrived as Peter opened his mouth and put his lips around Arthur’s cock. Before long, the two of them were loudly moaning (although Peter’s was muffled due to just how wide his mouth was spread attempting to wrap around the girthy manhood) as they both pushed desperately towards completion. Within seconds, the inevitable finally arrived as the duo came in unison, with Arthur’s thick load taking a quick journey down the back of Peter’s throat while Peter’s own cum splattered against his underwear in an intense fashion.
After Peter finished sucking and pulled his mouth off of Cody’s cock, the duo both laid down for a few minutes to catch their breath from such an erotic and unbelievable experience. When Arthur first received the invitation for the trip from Nate, he had no idea of just how life-changing it would be. Not only did he get to teach a cocky asshole a much-needed lesson, but Arthur also got a new body and life out of it… and the body of his idol no less! It was a dream come true, so much so that Arthur quickly said as much as he logged into his Discord account to send a message to Nate saying exactly that. While he promised to explain more later, Arthur ended the message by saying that the gift was the best thing he could have received.
Now eager to get out of the studio and explore what this new life has in store for him, Arthur said his goodbyes to Peter while talking about how he was excited to see him tomorrow. Although there was certainly no real attraction that Arthur felt for the meek nerd, it was safe to say that they would be friends forever due to the kindness that Peter had done for him. As he finally made his return to Cody’s trailer, Arthur rifled through the rather grand closet that had countless designer brands hung up. Feeling rather proud of himself for such a great performance as Cody Christian, Arthur opted to pull out a luxury suit and put it on. It was quite erotic to see the final result as he looked into the reflection in his bathroom mirror, especially given how form-fitting it was with his muscular build!
“Let’s go see what the life of Cody Christian has to offer huh?” He said to his reflection, lifting his arms up and giving a cocky flex that was punctuated with a wink to just further the humiliation towards the soul stuck powerless in his own body.  After grabbing Cody’s phone and wallet, a quick search through the trailer provided a set of car keys. Making his way out of the trailer, the man was quite amused to click the lock button of his key fob and see the lights of a brand new sports car light up.
Upon unlocking it and getting into the driver’s seat, the man oohed and ahhed at the leather seats he had as he turned the car over and felt the car purr to life. As he took a moment to press his foot onto the gas pedal and feel the engine powerfully rev up to the point where his body was shivering, a cocky smirk emerged on Arthur’s face as he felt drunk on unbridled power. Not only was he in a powerful car, but he was also now the proud owner of an even powerful body and life. All of those years of thirsting and blindly stanning the actor had paid off as Arthur was now for all intents and purposes Cody Christian through and through. With a body like this, he could get any man or woman he desired along with any role given his Prince Charming level good looks.
Even though he didn’t have a license or a car back in the UK, the brand new Cody Christian still felt no worries as he sped off into the night. He was a lucky man after all, and there was no way that he’d end up losing when he looked and felt this good!

SLOW DANCE
A plotless fluffy drabble about Harry admiring his Y/N.
Tumblr media
Harry sat across from Y/N, his heart beating faster with every moment he spent in her company. She was an ethereal beauty, her delicate features almost otherworldly in their perfection. Her hair cascaded down her back like an everflowing waterful, framing her face in a halo of light.
As Harry gazed at her, he was struck by the angelic quality of her beauty. Her eyes were a soft shade of (Y/E/C), gazing at him in awe as if they were the sky on a clear summer day. They sparkled with an inner light, drawing him in and holding him captive. Her skin was like sheet of silk, smooth and flawless, and her lips were full and ever so lovely, inviting him to taste their sweetness.
Harry felt a wave of tenderness wash over him as he took in the sight of his Y/N. He was overwhelmed by the depth of his feelings for her, and he knew that he would do anything to keep her safe and happy. As he looked at her, he saw not just a beautiful woman, but a kind and caring soul who had captured his heart.
For Harry, Y/N was more than just a gorgeous face. She was a beacon of light in his life, guiding him through the darkest moments and bringing joy to his days. He admired her not just for her physical beauty, but for the beauty of her soul.
As he watched her laugh and smile, Harry felt a warmth spread through his chest. He knew that he would cherish her forever, and that nothing would ever come between them. With Y/N by his side, he felt as though he could conquer the world.
Harry knew that he was in love with Y/N, he could feel it in the way his heart felt ever so full and profound with this sickly sweet and suffocating feeling whenever he thought about her—hell, it was like that 24/7— and there was nothing that could ever change that. She was his angel, his light in the darkness, and he would always cherish her beauty, both inside and out.
Later in the night they had discarded their place at the dinner table and moved into their spacious living room, the two settling into a gentle slow dance as a timeless love song played lowly on the record player; Harry and Y/N stood in the center of their cozy living room, bathed in the warm glow of the flickering candles scattered around the room. Soft, romantic music played in the background, filling the air with a gentle melody that tugged at their hearts.
As they moved together in a slow dance, their bodies swayed in perfect harmony, their eyes locked in an intense gaze that spoke volumes without a word. Harry's strong arms held Y/N close, his hands resting on the small of her back, as they moved in a gentle rhythm to the music.
Y/N felt her heart swell with love and admiration for the man who held her in his arms. She gazed up at him, taking in his ruggedly handsome features, his piercing green eyes, and his soft smile that lit up his face like the sun. She felt a deep sense of contentment, knowing that she was right where she belonged, in the arms of the man she loved.
As they danced, their bodies seemed to meld together, each movement perfectly synchronized, as if they were a single entity moving to the music. Y/N felt a sense of peace wash over her, as she closed her eyes, lost in the moment, lost in the love that she shared with Harry.
For Harry, there was nowhere else he'd rather be than holding Y/N close, feeling the warmth of her body against his, hearing the gentle beat of her heart. He breathed in the scent of her hair, the softness of her skin, and felt a sense of gratitude for having her in his life.
As the music faded to an end, Harry and Y/N slowed to a stop, still wrapped in each other's arms. They looked deeply into each other's eyes, feeling the love and connection that bound them together. In that moment, they knew that nothing could ever come between them, that they would always be there for each other, through thick and thin, for the rest of their lives.

I absolutely love all of your fic recommendations. Thank you so much for this. Do you know of any fics, especially lesser known, where H &/or L have blue collar jobs? Construction, assembly line, mechanic, farming, etc? Thank you for your service to the fandom! 💝
Hi, darling. Oh, that’s a fun question. I think I can pull something together for you.
Tumblr media
Ever Since I Tried Your Way by flowercrownfemme / @lesbianiconharrystyles (E, 26K) I loved everything about this fic, from the setting to the characterizations to the slow way Harry discovers himself and how Louis supports everything about him. It’s just beautifully written and wonderfully moving. Rancher Louis / eventual rancher Harry
An Invincible Summer by Brooklyn_Babylon / @twopoppies (E, 45K) this one is mine, I hope you like it. Farmer Harry / Temporary farm hand /author Louis
Never content to stay in one place for long, a few months down south researching for his novel seemed like an idyllic, slow-paced summer to Louis. He wasn’t ready for the blistering heat, the backbreaking work of watermelon picking, or how stifling the attitudes in rural Georgia would feel. And he definitely hadn’t anticipated falling in love with the farmer’s son.
The summer of 1946 would turn out to be everything worth writing about.
our little corner of the world by brownheadedstranger (E, 30K) This fic reads like original fiction in the best sort of way. The whole fic makes you feel like you’re stuck in the hot, dusty little town along with the boys. It’s beautifully written – slow and wistful – and I really need to re-read it now that I think of it! Line cook Harry / diner worker Louis.
The Road Less Travelled by freetheankles / @anymerrylilthought​ (E, 98K) Also known as “the lumberjack fic”, this fic is an instant classic. The author makes widowed Louis’ pain and depression so real and so moving. The characters are three-dimensional and complex and the well written sexual tension is finally relieved with super hot smut. Link is to a download. Lumberjack Louis
So Darling, Just Say You’ll Stay Right By My Side by supernope (E, 28K) Another fic I read too long ago to recall details of, and my rather unhelpful notes read, “LOVE! Slow build up, but so sexy!” So…here’s to trusting old me. I’m not too worried, this author is pretty sure bet. Chief of police Louis. Deputy Harry.
Divine Intervention by Awriterwrites / @a-writerwrites (E, 6K) This fic is short, but super sexy and bittersweet. Something about the way Louis is so gentle in it just gets to me. Building inspector Harry
where the tide takes you, I will follow by @pinkcords (E, 40K) First of all, I’m so happy this author is writing again! Second, everything about this was just lovely. The slow, dreamy tone of their writing fit the setting and the way Harry and Louis fell into each other so, so well. I love how descriptive their writing is without being flowery or pointless. The smut scenes were toe-curlingly sexy, and gave us beautiful insight into both of the boys. I just wanted to live inside this fic. Fish shack worker Louis
may we all have a vision now and then by momentofclarity / @gaycousinlarry (M, 4K) This author is one of my favorite writers in this fandom and everything they do is infused with so much delicacy and tenderness. I literally cried through this fic because of how wounded Harry’s character feels. Read it and then treat yourself to their whole AO3 catalogue. Trucker Louis
it’s time to find your wings again by we_are_the_same / @why-let-your-voice-be-tamed (T, 12K) I just loved the fairytale quality of this story––not cute and cuddly, but dark and curious and intense–– more like a Grimm fairytale. So unique and so worth reading. Prison guard Louis
Naked & Proud by kiwikero (E, 19K) Farmer Harry runs an organic store. Lust at first sight. Summer love. All sorts of good stuff in this really well-written story.
O’ Christmas Tree by @justalittlelouislove (M, 15K) I love this author’s writing and this one is just 100% wonderful fluff that still managed to make me cry! It’s sweet and charming and one of the very few kid fics I actually enjoyed. Christmas tree farmer Harry.
Lambing Season by @helloamhere (E, 26K) This is beautiful little emotional fic and it’s one of my favorites. If you’ve ever wanted to leave your shitty work environment, escape to an idyllic countryside, and find love along the way, read this one. Farmer Louis.
Coup de Foudre by angelwarm (M, 15K) The characters (particularly Louis) are pretty OOC, but god this fic is gorgeous. After I read it I just sat there not knowing what to do with myself. It’s sad and hopeful and just gorgeously written. Diner Worker Harry
Wild and Unruly by 100percentsassy, gloria_andrews / @gloriaandrews (E, 124K) One of the OG classics in this fandom. If you haven’t read it yet, you’re missing out. It’s just a great, original story. Plus, cowboy Harry, city boy Louis, bad guys to hate, nail biting drama, hot af sexual chemistry and smut, and a super satisfying ending. Rancher Harry.

Pairing/Shippy list!
I was tagged by @1337wtfomgbbq :) already hyped up I’m sensing there’s gonna be a lot of fun 🤩
Here's the rules:
List your top seven ships.
Put all of them in order of your love for them; 7 to 1, 1 being your favorite.
Name their fandom.
Supply photos for said people.
7) Peter Pevensie & Edmund Pevensie (Narnia)
Tumblr media
Geez. Is there even a proper tag for this?? Not many people ship these two I get it but I just, well, tend to drive down to an end off the beaten track. I really like their interaction in the first film and come to think of it, this was the first movie I’ve seen in movie theater so it kinda hits different.
6) Rogue/Shadowcat (Xmen: Evolution)
Tumblr media
They clearly had some issues at first but ended up getting along really well. Enemies to roommates to friends in combat and… let it hang in there for a bit bcs there could certainly be a lot of possibilities so who knows :D I really enjoy watching them bickering like an old married couple. Could do this all day
5) Hiccup/Astrid (httyd)
Tumblr media
Best anime couple ever! I love how their romantic relationship unfolds in rtte. A slow-burn, took a whole movie, plus three spin-off for it to blossom. Burns slowly but naturally and beautifully.
4) Logan/Scott (Xmen)
Tumblr media
When you talk about Scogan there's no way you can get around talking about that scene where Logan flipped Scott off and Scott just acted cool and cracked a smile. It's all you need to board this ship. Ugh it's shame the writer decided to kill off Scott in The Last Stand. But fortunately it was rectified in DoFP (Don't mention Logan (2017)) and Logan still got years to beef (and highkey flirt) with his frenemy :D
3) Magfam (Cherik + Speedyson) (Xmen)
Tumblr media
What I wouldn't kill to get more wholesome magfam content? For once can we forget about the angst and pain and just sit down and enjoy something of a rom-com, something light, a cute story of how a remarried family getting together. A remarried couple and their teenage son, who hasn't lived with his father for a single day before, try to work out together as a family. Isn't that what we all deserve?
2) Harry Osborn/Peter Parker (Spiderman(raimiverse))
Tumblr media
Quality angst. Their story has everything you need for a classic tragedy. Geez, I remember crying my heart out watching Harry die in Peter's arms as a kid. It left such a massive impact on me that I'm still not over it to this day. I really hate it that NWH did them dirty, Peter out of character, and implying that Harry, being someone vengeful, died of his tomfoolery, making him a cue for some meaningless joke. That's not how they should be. They deserve so, so much better.
1) Neuller (Men's Football RPF)
Tumblr media
My emotional support. My safehouse I could escape to. They are the reason why I'm here in the first place. Decade partners and soulmates on the pitch, two dorks who are always on the same wavelength and always seen together. For Thomas, Manu is the best goalkeeper in the world and the wall of steel behind him, always out there to defend so he could go full throttle forward without worrying; and for Manu, Thomas is his spokesperson on and off the field, leading the charge and helping him organize the defense. Together they grabbed almost all the titles they could. They complete each other, as quoted from Manu himself, Thomas is more than a teammate and he can't imagine a world without him.
Honorable nominees:
Silvercyclops (Xmen (movieverse)): It's a shame they never thought of exploring their friendship. What a waste of the chemistry between Evan and Tye.
Rogue/Gambit (Xmen (all media types excluding movieverse)
Lincoln/Alternate Lincoln (fringe)
Tagging: @manuelmueller @cincydrawing and whoever interested consider yourself tagged by me :D

i NEED to see more of your art !!!!!
*bats eyelashes* this is a threat.
AHFLALSDHA WHAT- STOP GET OUT NO U DONT PLEASE-
U WANNA SEE MY ART??!!
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR YEARRSSS FOR SOMEONE TO SEE MY ART-
For future standalone posts like Possession AU/actual Fanfics/Non-Asks I'll probably add some of my art as a fun visual, since it sucks the closest I can get is gifs to feeling more immersed! :/
Tumblr media Tumblr media
These I drew over the past 2-3 weeks! They're my lovely OCS, left to right, Lucille, Mara and Sabrina! They're story is a big fat beautiful shit on JK Rowl*ng! Lucille is a black lesbian successful trans woman/future magic council-woman, Mara is a japanese-american hard-headed/bold sapphic woman/future professional magical athlete, and Sabrina is a plus-size queer woman/future professional magical plants necromancer! They're in my twist on Harry Potter universe, where they all go to magical university, and the point is that Mara and Lucille are infamous school rivals, but then fall in love/fall in love with Sabrina too! A magical gay polycule if u will, I've written 2 short stories about them for my fiction class so far!
Tumblr media
SHEESH, DO ME A FAVOR AND CLICK FOR QUALITY!!
this was my last project for my illustration 2 class! I have a physical comic book/zine I'm making, but this is the summary TLDR digital piece lol, its actually a sort of isekai of myself into Percy Jackson and changing his fate for the better! (Yes ik his anatomy is ROUGH, dont look at him too hard- SOBS)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Here's an earlier project this year from Illustration 2, I got an article I had to make illustrations for, to help you understand it/add aesthetic to it! My subject was Cosmic Topology, pretty sick topic if u ever wanna look it up, it's about the shape of the universe! :0
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
^^^
And these-
are the gifs from that art exhibition I talked so much about the past couple weeks! It was my senior art exhibition (a requirement to display art in the uni gallery to graduate!)
irl photos under this text block!
These are actually being projected across pages in a fake photo album/prom guestbook thingy, fully interactive so u can turn the pages and it shows a new animation, like a magical storybook! Also, since it's prom themed, I made it a kinda guestbook/sign book so gallery viewers can get some glitter pens I left out to sign the end of it! I also have a playlist I made playing in the gallery along with it so it's like what they'd play at this prom! :) hope that made sense!
The content is that the girl you see walking around in white is getting social anxiety/stressed out, to the point of dissociating, as a way of doing my theme I've kept up for university of things appearing darker than they initially look (hence the colors + I love colors), and to bring awareness to mental health!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
welp, didnt mean to include all that black space, but that's my artist statement too! (u cant see the prints in the pictures, that's just my interactive piece I was talking about!)
hope if u click on the statement it's readable lol
Just click on the Alt text, I pasted it there 😭 also the piece is called
"You're the Star of the Night (you're dissociating)!"
Tumblr media
Tumblr hates me so I just made the gif of me actually turning the pages into a link/QR code thingy! feel free to check out if u want :)
Uh anyway, if you made it this far, thank you so much!
Can't wait to make more fanart tbh lol
AND THANK YOU SO MUCH AGAIN FOR ASKING ORAH!! (sorry it wasnt more genshin stuff whoops...) RLLY HOPE I DIDNT SPAM U TOO HARD-
Safe travels,
💀♒️

Tumblr media
Although I am a DieHard TwiHard, I will be honest, I did not think there will ever be a reboot/remake/ spinoff, or at the very least, a successful one of The Twilight Saga films, and here is why. Even though I love this universe, when the book first came out, it was a big deal, even more so with the movies. These Films are Iconic in the best and the worst ways. Nevertheless, as time passed with the novels and films, as did the massive criticism, people either loved it or hated it, and it was a big deal until it was not. After the saga ended, it went on to become irrelevant. The actors moved on, the world moved on, even the author of the books herself, even more so now that everyone has called out the many disturbing things within them. Furthermore, we cannot sit here and pretend Twilight has left the same legacy as something like Harry Potter. Yes, like Harry Potter, The Twilight Saga was a huge phenomenon. However, the first difference is when comparing the quality between the two franchises, I think most people will probably say the same thing, "Harry Potter is Good, Twilight is Not." Most people will agree that the Wizarding World is bigger and better. The second would be it also grew in real life. Harry Potter has many theme park attractions and video games, prequels, expansion books etc.; (aside from the one Twilight ride in china) Harry Potter has become even more significant even after the original books and films with even more fans, much more than Twilight, so you cannot compare the two, except for the problematic nature of both creators, and the problematic contents with their stories. You would have to change so much, that it would not be Twilight, anymore. Moreover, even though Harry Potter is still a behemoth, they have tried and failed to have a comeback in film, the Fantastic Beasts films, and those are doing well, critically or financially. If Harry Potter could not make it work, how could Twilight? Sadly, Twilight had its time, it came, and it went. Even though there are still people like me, still fans of it, old and new. People still go to the filming locations; they still go to the real Forks, Washington; they still listen to the soundtracks; they still binge all of the films, especially after being put on streaming platforms, but it will always be smaller than it was, especially since like Twilight, YA additions are not as popular as they used to be, many YA films, especially the genre ones, all failed to be successful. Vampire Academy, Beautiful Creatures, Divergent, The Mortal Instruments, Fallen, TWICE, etc., could have done better. If they tried REVAMPING (get it) The Twilight Saga, whether it be another Film Series/TV Series, it would not work and would not do well. Twilight ran its course, and it is over; Maybe If they make it an Anime, that might do well?

John: Examine contents of chest.
Tumblr media
Man, ONLY this? Either your chest is really small, or your items are big. Colonel Sassacre's book is probably to blame for that. Alright, let's dig into it.
[…] each one a devastating weapon in the hands of a SKILLED MAGICIAN or a CUNNING PRANKSTER. You are neither of these things.
Come on man, page 8 and you're self deprecating? Not a prankster? Not with THAT attitude!
Among the ARTIFACTS are: TWO (2) FAKE ARMS [CURRENTLY CAPTCHALOGUED IN YOUR SYLLADEX], ONE (1) PAIR OF TRICK HANDCUFFS, ONE (1) STUNT SWORD, ONE (1) MAGICIAN'S HAT, ONE (1) PAIR OF BEAGLE PUSS GLASSES, SEVERAL (~) SMOKE PELLETS, SEVERAL (~) BLOOD CAPSULES, and ONE (1) COPY OF COLONEL SASSACRE'S DAUNTING TEXT OF MAGICAL FRIVOLITY AND PRACTICAL JAPERY, and ONE (1) COPY OF HARRY ANDERSON'S "WISE GUY", BY MIKE CAVENEY.
Jeez, Tumblr is ruining the nice formatting of this paragraph. And the quality of the pictures too so now I have to take screenshots. Thanks a bunch jerk. Anyway, despite being quite trivial and innocent looking, most of it will be used during the adventure. The handcuffs, stunt sword and magician hat by the imps, the beagle puss glasses by both John and TG, and the smoke pellets will be used soon in this act. The remaining items are quite inconsequential. Blood pellets? Never used, although they do show up in another kid house later. Wait Wise Guy IS important, it's how John got the idea for combining two punched catchalogue cards in the totem lathe. Damn, good job book. *sigh* although I always skip reading Wise Guy's excerpt during rereading Homestuck, so not really looking forward to it. Hmm. Now that I'm double checking the command prompt, and thinking about the double meaning a 'chest' (Bec Noir removed 'arm from chest' as in his sword from his body) I wonder if we can see 'content of chest' as the content of heart? There is (fake) blood, several items displaying his interests, his legacy and ancestor (Sassacre) and his idol Harry Anderson, twice. And the trick handcuffs could represents the fact that John, feeling initially trapped desire to be free (Breath) or that an obstacle of his own creation prevent him to reach said freedom? Fake blood, fake bond?? Fake death? Martyr??? Maybe I'm bullshitting, maybe I'm on to something. Who knows? Not me. I leave y'all in the notes to debate about it. —>

@joanne-the-disciple is a fucking joke of a human being.
Tumblr media
Naw, see, this shit ain’t okay. You can’t go onto a public website like this, say this kind of horse shit, then think it’s alright to belittle and remove the responses to it in an attempt to bury it when someone calls you out for this kind of flat out bullshit lying. No, not to-fucking-day @joanna-the-disciple You ain’t allow to complain about a group of fans being passionate about the thing they love and simply continuing to make content of it years after the movie ended without attracting a few of them asking you rightfully ‘What the fuck man?’. 
That’s like actively making fun of Star Wars fans as a whole for still enjoying the original Star Wars even though it came out in the 70s and we are baffled why you think that’s a bad thing?
What in God’s name is your thought processing? Did you think the reylos were just going to stop making content after the end of TROS, regardless of the quality of the movie?
You do understand people will continue to enjoy things even after the movies/books end right? The first Harry Potter came out in 1997, do you think the fans just fucked off after the last book got put out? After the last movie got made? Do you think the enjoyment of a media can only happen during the period of time in which the media is being produced?
Do you not see the irony in mocking a whole group of people for enjoying that fandom years after the subject is relevant To You while Also bringing up the fact you still hate the reylos this many years after the fact? What... The fuck man? Do you think the Reylos and The Fandom Menace are the same fucking thing? Yeah, Okay, alright, let’s settle this right now. Go find me a member of The Fandom Menace who likes reylo. Go the fuck on then. I’ll be right fuckin’ here waiting. You bring ‘em back here when you find them. I wont hold my breath. Where are you pulling the idea the reylos were the ones harassing people from? Not that I ever expect you to because you seem far too fucking ignorant to even consider the idea, but maybe try asking a handful of reylo how well they’ve ever been received in any Star Wars community before coming to whatever quarter assed assumption you’ve arrived at because most of them will tell you they were not received well, and in many cases were harassed off Star Wars based forums and sites if they showed any positivity to reylo within the Star Wars community. I ain’t making this shit up, it’s well documented. I have all sorts of examples. Like how the topic of Reylo was something that would get your topic locked at Jedi Console forums and anyone talking about it would get a ban. Another example from above so you understand that this wasn’t a one time thing. Here is just a small collection of hate and death threats sent to reylos over the years by a tumblr user. Note that some of these comments were made back in 2016. That’s over 7 years ago. This article by Katie McCort did just... the most fucking detailed breakdown of a lot of the hate and harassment the reylos have received over the years backed up with some pretty unarguable facts. If you can think of a group the reylos harassed, this article can prove they didn’t.
I can find more examples if you need. the Star Wars fandom isn’t shy about it’s dislike for reylos. Not that I suspect you’ll read any of it. You couldn’t be dicked to read one paragraph, so this post and that article are way out of your number-of-words-able-to-read-per-day count. You’ve already buried your head up your ass pretty deep but that article should be shared more and if my trying to get you to not be a mindless fucking prick for a few seconds might allow someone else to see what you’re doing and saying is wrong than I guess I’ll take it with you idiots.
You act like the reylos have some kind of haughty Harvard education when all they did was.. you know.. watch the whole movie man. I didn’t need to go to school to be able to watch a movie through and through.
Reylo doesn't come out of nowhere. It’s there from the start. It’s such a textbook example of ‘enemies to lovers' trope it’s almost comical it gets the amount of hate it does. Getting mad at fans for realizing reylo was going to be a ship early on is like getting mad at someone for figuring out that Belle ends up with The Beast at the start of Beauty and the Beast. Why would the creators give Kylo/Ben such a detailed and thought out background, relate him to at least 4 of the original trilogy crew, fill the character with such intense remorse and regret that he gets the nickname ‘Crylo Ren’, and not do anything with him character growth wise? Was it not obvious to you the moment we learned Kylo Ren was the lost son of Leia Organa and Han Solo that he was probably going to be redeemed? It just wasn’t that obvious to you? In the same movie series that redeemed Darth Vader? Did that fact slip past you? I Do Not Understand how you can watch a movie were this happens:
Tumblr media
And this happens:
Tumblr media
And this happens:
Tumblr media
And you somehow came to the conclusion that Rey and Ben were just not that interested in each other? Fucking... what? Are you mocking a group of people for simply following along with a very basic trope as it was presented to them? A trope so obvious the next director who took over also went in that direction, because it was the only direction to go? To give you an idea of the timeline; The very first Reylo fics started to show up on AO3 back in November of 2015, The Force Awakens wasn’t even out yet. The Force Awakens came out in December of 2015. Now what you may not realize is Rian got a bit of a head start when making The Last Jedi, he actually had a little longer than the normal 3 year period because he was doing the writing WHILE JJ was filming The Force Awakens. That means the reylos caught onto the ship Before The Force Awakens Came Out, Without the help of The Last Jedi to fuel them on. Just like Rian didn’t need to read fanfiction to understand the main antagonist and protagonist of these movies may have more to each other than just being  enemies. And I can use fanfiction to prove it. This one, called Interstellar Transmissions by  LovelyThings, ricca_riot PERDICTED THE FORCE BOND AND was posted back in December of 2015, Two Whole Year Before The Lest Jedi Even Came Out. Here, since you don’t seem to like reading, I made you a nice chart:
Tumblr media
The reylos ain’t smarter than you. Fuck, I failed English class. I can hardly put together a text without relying heavily on spell checkers while fretting over my grammar. Almost every reylo I know is just a fan who likes to write, draw, create art for the thing they love.
It’s a fucking hobby. 
We’re not of higher education and the ones who are don't flaunt it. We’ve simply been graced with the skill of watching a movie fully to the end, because unless you didn’t do that there’s no way you could have missed the very obvious direction the two characters were going to go.
I don’t like The Rise of Skywalker. I don’t make it a secret to anyone who asks. And I wont be the last to admit it. A lot of reylos don’t like this movie. Regular Star Wars fans don’t like this movie. People who don’t like Star Wars didn’t like that shit hole movie. If you took all the Star Wars and scooped it out of The Rise of Skywalker it would still just be a really bad movie to it’s core. It’s filled with a plot that runs in place for a full 2 hours while doing zero character development and retconned huge details from the 2 movies that came before it. But I’ll tell you something I don’t do is harass people who do like it. I also don’t make hateful posts about The Rise of Skywalker because as a rule I just don’t spend time on things I hate. Which is why I’m making a comic. Because I disliked that movie so much I want to make a better one, and who the fuck are you to tell me or anyone else in this fandom that is an unworthy use of our time?
Are you the fandom police? Are you the person who holds up a stopwatch to tell fans of old things it’s time to stop? We should all just collectively drop all fan works pertaining to Pride and Prejudice, or Frankenstein's Monster, or Dracula and anything vampire related because all of that media is Well Over 3 Years Old?
You said we were wrong about how the movie was going to end, but how do you mean that when we predicted that Ben Solo would be redeemed? How the flying fuck can you say we got it wrong? When we predicted before the second movie even came out that there could be a force bond between Rey and Ben? When we realized the moment Kylo Bridal Carries Rey onto his ship in The Force Awakens set to what is the musical equivalent of Star Wars Romeo and Juliet's Love Theme? When we figured out that Rey and Ben were probably gonna smooch by the end of them? We were right! Why are you booing us? The reylos predict many things in these movies. The force bond, The romantic pairing, Ben Solo’s redemption to name a few, all things that appeared in EP9. The Rise of Skywalker was so horrible and so poorly thought out as a story but even still couldn’t fucking argue with the simple and basic fact that Ben Solo was always meant to be redeemed and he got that way Because He Loves Rey. We’re not even going to touch the whole ‘You think harassing people in a fandoms you don’t like is all fun and fucking games until you’re told it’s because of fucking shit boils like you that people in this fandom Have Killed Themselves because of the harassment.’ then trying to nope out by blocking and removing responses to your horseshit post for calling you out on said horseshit, because I already told you how I feel about that shit. And I think you’re the fucking scum of the earth for thinking that way, go fuck yourself inside out you fucking cunt.

Aww, you absolutely didn’t have to defend your answers!
Also, screaming at how many YouTubers we have in common oh my god?! I’ve been watching Caitlin Shoemaker, Make it Dairy Free, Pick Up Limes, and Alexandra Andersson for years!
And I’ve also watched a couple of videos by Vegan Richa, BOSH, Sweet Potato Soul and Edgy Veg. Never heard of The Chic Natural or Vegan But Lazy, so thanks for the recommendations!
I don’t know how to link, so bare with me lol. My suggestions for you are:
Amanda Ducks, goes by the same name on YouTube. I think she’s right up your alley with simple, minimal ingredients but amazing meals. Plus her videos are so relaxing to watch! I also appreciate how consistent she is with her uploads and the relationship she shares with food. Not once will you hear here talking about calories or “healthy foods”. Instead she says the food was very “nourishing.” Love that!
Make it Dairy Free’s one half, the husband, Andrew has a channel of his own. It’s called Andrew Bernard. Just as amazing as their original channel if not more.
Nisha Vora, goes by the name Rainbow Plant Life has THE most amazing recipes. Although I gotta mention, each one of them take a lot of time, patience and effort lol. But 12/10 worth it. Plus she’s funny and fun to watch. The quality of her videos is as good as Sadia’s at Pick Up Limes. Both of then really know their food.
Wil Yeung, goes by the name Yeung Man Cooking does Asian cuisine primarily and is my go too for all sorts of noodz.
If you are on Instagram, here are some honorable mentions:
Calum Harris. Absolutely banger content. Super funny guy. Makes easy and delicious recipes within 20 minutes.
Fitgreenmind. To me she’s THE Instagram vegan. Young but mighty and wise. I find her very inspiring.
that.veganbabe. She’s into gym and weight lifting and will be your fix for high protein vegan recipes if you’re into watching your protein intake lol.
basilandbiceps. She’s SO underrated in my opinion oh my god! All of her recipes are absolutely delicious, looks appealing and are equally easy to follow. Plus I really enjoy her energy and vibes. She’s cool.
I went on much longer than you did lol. But I hope you find at least one of these recommendations helpful :)
[follow up to this post]
AH!! Thank you so much for the recs!! 💜
I'm gonna be cookin' up so many great new recipes this spring, I have a good feeling about it!

A Learning Curve (1.9k)
Summary (Winteriron, M): Bucky and Tony deal with the emotional aftermath of their first fight.
Contains: A/B/O, D/s, Alpha Bucky, Omega Tony, Daddy Bucky, brat Tony, eh/c, angst with a happy ending (more on AO3)
A/N: @sunshineailin this includes your prompt, “It’s late. Shouldn’t you be asleep?”
Tumblr media
@mcukinkbingo fill: A/B/O scent marking / @afgomegaversebingo fill: Omega!Tony / @badthingshappenbingo fill: please don’t leave me.
Preview below:
The air was thick with the scent of emotional turmoil. Bucky swore he could taste it at the back of his throat, bitter and unyielding.
It was the longest his partner had been silent since they’d moved in together, and it was… unnerving, to say the least. The loss added to the hollow feeling that had settled in his chest.
Usually, they balanced each other out in that way.
Tony was constantly chatting and Bucky thought it was the most endearing thing, content to listen to his Omega talk for hours. Especially about his passions. It made his face and everything about him light up beautifully.
Bucky on the other hand was quiet and more reserved. The strong silent type. When he did talk it was obvious Bucky was an observant and insightful person, who never missed much.
It had been almost funny to Tony back then, meeting an Alpha who actually listened to other people and didn’t try to take charge of every conversation.

Read below [AO3]:
Before Harry’s eyes, Draco had shattered like broken glass. She’d told Harry something she had suspected about herself for a long time but had repressed, until she couldn’t anymore. That she was a woman. Harry’s love never wavered and he saw her blossom, able to express herself and embrace her womanhood. It unlocked a lightness in Draco, as though she could finally breathe.
Lightly, Harry would brush his fingers through Draco’s growing hair and admire her painted lips. She found a new way to show Harry how much she loved him, by leaving a kiss imprint on his cheek. He didn’t have the heart to wipe it off.
Oh. Harry was hardly able to get out much else when he’d first seen Draco in a dress. The dress looked gorgeous on her, but… it was Draco’s blinding smile that had his heart almost bursting out of his chest. Hopelessly, he’d fallen even more in love.
Obedience… Draco couldn’t stomach that anymore. She could still picture her father’s expression—Harry wished he’d seen it too—when she told him, “This is who I am and I’m not hiding for your, or anyone else’s benefit anymore.” And completely set herself free.
More than anything, Draco finally felt at peace with herself and while Harry would always be her home, she’d made her body a home too.

Tumblr media
tl  ;  dr  :  no content warning necessary ! 
grace’s life is practically picture perfect  —  as the daughter of sunset hills’ beloved mayor , she’s held both the city and her father in the palm of her hand for as long as she can remember. it was blissful really , knowing she was the center of his world and thinking there was nothing that could happen to change that ; but this meant when things did change , she wouldn’t know the first step in how to cope . eventually her father chronically single father found love , causing the once small world between between the two of them to now have to be big enough to share between not only her new step - mother , but three new sisters ; which forced her to be left with less . it took some time  ( and a lot of tears ) for her to finally settle in to her new family , first bonding with her sisters and then settling fire she created after being the step - daughter from hell to her step - mom . grace has healed , her family has healed , and to put it briefly — they all lived happily ever after .
STATS : 
full name : grace idara 
nickname : gracie 
age : twenty - three 
occupation : grad student & vet tech at paws and claws
living : dusk drive 
birthplace : sunset hills born and raised !
PAST :  
grace is the first and only biological daughter of her father , moses .
effectively she’s a “test tube” baby — moses wanted nothing more than to be a father so when he got got old he used a surrogate to give birth to his beautiful baby girl . 
she’s always had everything she ever wanted — toys , clothes , books ; whatever she wanted ( and needed ) was there before she even really had to think about it too much .
her father worked hard to raise her with humility , in his eyes , spoiling a child wasn’t what raised them to be a brat — it was how they were parented . 
there really isn’t too much to say about grace’s childhood , reflecting back on it even grace would agree that it was reminiscent of something that could be found in a sitcom. 
as she got older , things began to change — her father became more involved in the political scene , taking more and more onto his plate which in turn ended up leaving less time for grace . 
it wasn’t all bad , though she did miss the constant attention of her dad she liked the independence of it all , knowing that her dad trusted her to begin taking care of herself , which is a quality she knows other people with her upbringing don’t have . 
things really began to shift when her single father found an object of affection that wasn’t his daughter . 
grace’s dad started dating a woman when she was just entering her last year of middle school — making an already rough time in her life even worse when she began to realize she wasn’t the center of his world anymore . she grew jealous , bordering on hating the woman who would eventually become her step mother simply because she was taking the already lessened amount of attention she received from her father away from her . 
it was hard for her , having to share the only love she’d known her entire life , and this lead her to resent her step-mother and her new family that came along with it . 
going from the only child in a single parent household to now having a mother , a father and three sisters  was nothing short of a culture shock for her ; she spent a lot of time alone in her room , pushing her new life away in what she now recognizes was denial . 
she was unbelievably rude to her new family , ignoring them when they tried to speak to her , eating dinners upstairs in her room away from them and actively refusing to participate in any activity that involved spending more time with them than she needed to . 
it took a long talk with her dad to get her to finally warm up — at first he was angry , telling grace that she was essentially sabotaging the life he had worked hard to bring them , but it was when she broke down in tears that both of them realized there had been a lack of communication between the two of them for longer than they’d want to admit . 
that was when the healing process began , her father slowed down his political operations in order to make more time with his family and melding them into the close knit group they are today . 
PRESENT : 
grace left sunset hills for part of her journey into higher education , getting her bachelor’s degree at stanford ( in communications ) but returned to sunset hills after being accepted into s.h.u’s master’s program . 
since she can’t currently fully work as a teacher , she makes her money by being a vet tech at paws and claws and with the occasional help of her father .
PERSONALITY : 
just as mentioned earlier , grace was raised surrounded by humility and her down to earth nature is still something that she hopes to outwardly show on a daily basis . 
she LOOVVESSS people , it’s always been relatively easy for her to make friends because she’s just so like friendly and bubbly and it’s hard to not smile when you’re around her . definitely an extroverted introvert , she loves going out and talking to anyone who will engage her BUT after a certain amount of time she knows she needs to go home and cuddle up with a book and a warm cup of tea for some alone time . 
definitely has jealousy issues ( as can be seen by her having a literal meltdown when her father remarried ),  in her mind it’s not really that much of a problem but when it gets bad it brings a lot of her insecurities to the surface . 
she’s also one of those people who literally just does not know how to say ‘no’ , if anything it just makes her feel really guilty because she’s convinced she can be everything to everyone even though we all know that’s never the case — it makes it really easy for her kindness to get taken advantage of and though sometimes she can pick up on it she usually doesn’t and that’s where things go to shit . 
despite being obnoxiously kind she’s not like … stupid LIKE DO YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN LIEJFLSDFOUHF — she just …like she knows what it’s like to hurt and she knows that she hates feeling like that so she tries to avoid putting herself in those situations and she tries to like tell if someone’s like taking advantage of her but i can promise you she will only realize it when it’s too late and then will not say a word about it.

Harry Styles • Treat People With Kindness • 01.01.2021
Unexpected music video drop 2021’s 1st
The US was most likely asleep & those that were awake elsewhere were hangover.
The celebration was brief since 3 days later it was crashed by Holivia’s kick off.
Is the only music video in which Harry has a guess: Phoebe Waller-Bridge
Her brother Jasper Waller-Bridge was listed as Louis’ manager in March 2018.
September 2021 the video got a VMA for its choreography.
In July 1st 2022 a bts video is uploaded to vimeo during 24h aprox. —This date marks 15 days since Danielle Hampson’s death a TPWK mv dancer, on hers and fiancé Tom Mann wedding day. (June 18th)
The limited amount of time the bts video was available online is a curious thing. Why? Is it a way of paying tribute to their late colleague?, is it just the right time to share quality & precious unseen content?, is it a way to pay back everyone involved in the project by giving it extra visibility?, increase streams? any deeper theories such as closing a circle?
Yes, I have gave it a couple of thoughts and from an ignorant spot, I wonder if we will see Phoebe & Harry again sharing a new project soon.

// Week 3: Tumblr //
An overview of Tumblr
Tumblr is a valuable asset that scholars may utilise. Since its inception in February 2007, it has offered a complimentary hosting platform for concise blogs with a streamlined setup. Tumblr blogs have traditionally been set to "unlocked" by default, allowing posts to be available to any online user with a free account. While Twitter is known for its 140-character limit, Tumblr stands out as a more traditional blogging network that supports longer text posts. It allows users to create text entries of different lengths, which is its primary posting style. Multiple levels of engagement are there, allowing users to exchange special "Fan Mail" messages and enquire about various matters. Users can subscribe to other Tumblr blogs, monitor specific topics using tags, and engage with other users' content by reblogging or liking it as a means of expressing gratitude or joining discussions (Attu & Terras 2016).
Renninger (2015) examines how the capabilities of Tumblr have facilitated the growth of asexual counterpublics on the internet. He examines how Tumblr's adaptable personal profiles, commonly organised around pseudonyms rather than "singular" or "real world" identities, enable users to explore marginalised identities they wish to keep confidential, while effortlessly connecting with like-minded individuals (Keller 2019).
Tumblr hosts fandom social circles that encompass various brands, including but not limited to Doctor Who, Harry Potter, the Marvel Comic Universe, and Disney. United by their passion for their chosen subjects, users generate and consume various forms of content related to their preferred franchises, including .gifs (animated images), edited visuals, opinions, fan fiction, fan theories, and in-depth discussions analysing character motivations and development arcs. Certain people establish blogs that are dedicated to a certain brand, focusing primarily on producing and sharing information relevant to that franchise. On the other hand, some users develop fandom blogs that encompass multiple franchises, which they choose and prioritise based on their interests over time. 
It is typical for individuals involved in fandom culture to have multiple franchises that they consider themselves fans of, and the popularity of these brands varies among fans. Consequently, it is probable that a user's social network, consisting of individuals they engage with and follow, typically due to a shared interest in a certain franchise, would encompass users who associate themselves with fandoms that the participant is unfamiliar with. Fandom community members explore various franchises and interests while establishing connections with other members through their mutual excitement for their respective content (Brett and Maslen 2021)
Tumblr serves as a platform for fandoms to mostly communicate internally, without actively involving performers, producers, or other professionals in the media industry (Kohnen 2018).

Tumblr's Contribution to the Gender Transition of Transgender Individuals: Therapeutic Outlets and Supportive Communities
The study conducted by Hawkins and Hamison (2018) illuminates the nurturing environment that exists within Tumblr groups for transgender individuals who are going through gender transitions, setting it apart from the potentially harmful behaviour reported on other social media platforms. Transgender individuals facing challenges in obtaining sufficient healthcare services have identified Tumblr as a platform for self-administered health and self-care while undergoing the transitioning process. The Tumblr online community served as a venue for individuals to share their experiences about internalised self-doubt and body acceptance. Participants appreciated Tumblr as a helpful atmosphere, even if the quality of information varied.
Furthermore, it was seen that engaging with Tumblr feeds specifically dedicated to transition-related content had beneficial effects on mental well-being. Participants expressed a sense of empowerment from observing others' experiences, characterising it as a convenient and beneficial way to detach themselves. The creation of an online community on Tumblr provided a means for transgender individuals to overcome the challenges they face in their daily lives, resulting in the development of a strong and interconnected support network. Interacting with and exerting a good impact on others on Tumblr also played a role in fostering favourable mental health results. Engaging in activities like sharing written work and photographs inherently provides therapeutic effects, regardless of any interactions with other users, and contributes to mental well-being. The individuals saw a significant increase in their positive emotional state when others commented on their posts, thereby confirming and making their transition experiences seem typical.
To summarise, the transition blog community on Tumblr functions as a therapeutic medium, a platform for monitoring the transitions of others, and a way to have a good influence on fellow transgender individuals. This Tumblr community provides a source of encouragement for those going through the process of transitioning genders. It serves as a safe space where they can find solace and escape from the potential discrimination and pressures faced in their daily lives (Hawkins & Hamison, 2018).

Tumblr as a Sanctuary for Underprivileged Youth: Facilitation, Assistance, and Advancement
The default configuration of Tumblr, in which postings are publicly accessible and visible irrespective of user account ownership, adds to its perceived obscurity and challenges for non-users to navigate (McCracken et al., 2020). Although it has less privacy protections, this social networking site is more public than others. However, marginalised groups find this lack of transparency appealing as they see it as a form of protection (Cho, 2018).
Tumblr specifically provides young people with the opportunity to engage in a broad and varied liberal public space, enabling them to connect with others, find common interests, gain knowledge, get guidance, participate in political movements, and build their sense of self. Since the 1990s, an online public domain has played a key role in the survival of marginalised or at-risk youth, including LGBTQ youths, by providing them with access to information, acculturation, and support.
Nevertheless, Tumblr spaces can also be rife with tensions and challenges, in addition to their helpful elements, since many young persons experience novel ideas and relationships in an emotionally charged setting. Although these disputed contexts present notable prospects for constructive discourse and education, they also can perpetuate social disparities or become detrimental in different ways.
However, for numerous susceptible young individuals in the present day, Tumblr's liberal and progressive atmosphere makes it the most suitable option for an online "private" public area. For many teenage Tumblr users, the platform's emphasis on connecting with others through shared progressive and emotionally charged interests is more important than the platform's age restriction (McCracken, 2017).
Exploring Fandom, Social Justice, and Identity on Tumblr
Within the niche corners of the Tumblr fandom community, there is active participation in discussions related to diversity and social justice. Tumblr serves as a platform that facilitates the process of exploring one's identity and forming communities, especially for LGBTQ and transgender young individuals. Considering the historical connection between fandom and activism, it is not surprising that conversations about diversity in media portrayal and the overlap of fandom with social justice frequently arise within the Tumblr fandom community (Kohnen, 2018).
Given the common connection between fandom and non-conventional practices and identities, it is logical that fans actively participate in activism and social justice efforts, particularly concerning promoting diversity in media. Within the Tumblr community, fans engage in both fandom activities and social justice campaigning, with these two aspects existing on a continuous spectrum. Fans frequently utilise their platform to scrutinise problematic portrayals in both the source material itself and fan creations, with the goal of increasing awareness and educating fellow fans. Examples of protest encompass the act of expressing dissent through online writing against the portrayal of LGBT, female, and/or characters of colour in stereotyped ways, as well as denouncing the practice of casting white actors in roles that were originally intended for non-white characters in film adaptations. Protest activities take on different forms, including literary and visual expressions influenced by cultural studies, as well as the development of fan art and fan fiction that exhibit more diversity than the original content (Kohnen, 2018).
Before its policy change in 2018, Tumblr stood out from other platforms since it allowed NSFW (Not Safe For Work) content. Furthermore, it functioned as a central point for promoting "emotional authenticity," enabling the creation of alternative places for marginalised and progressive populations (Hart, 2015).

Conclusion
To summarise, Tumblr is a versatile platform that acts as a refuge for marginalised people and a driving force for societal transformation. Tumblr offers a wide range of fandoms, which allows for the exploration of one's identity, the formation of communities, and the promotion of activism. This is especially beneficial for LGBTQ folks and marginalised kids. These online networks foster discussions about diversity in media representation and social justice concerns. Fans use their platforms to analyse and educate others about harmful myths and representations.
Furthermore, Tumblr's distinctive acceptance of NSFW (Not Safe for Work) content and focus on genuine emotional expression cultivate alternative venues where marginalised and progressive voices can thrive. Tumblr communities play an active role in creating cultural discourse and campaigning for diversity by addressing issues such as whitewashing in film adaptations and encouraging body positivity and self-acceptance.
The data provided demonstrates that Tumblr has a broader influence beyond entertainment and social interaction. It functions as a dynamic platform where individuals may delve into their identities, express themselves genuinely, and contribute to the advancement of a fair and inclusive society. Tumblr remains a potent catalyst for societal transformation, thanks to its varied and fervent user community. It provides a forum where voices that might be disregarded in other contexts can express themselves and be acknowledged.
