I was recently reminded of the first time I read ADwD, with it being the only book in the series that I listened to via audio book, and I chose to do so during my shifts working food-service. Anyway, don't do that, friends!

#asoiaf #valyrianscrolls #a dance with dragons #theon greyjoy #when I tell you I violently gagged several times #there's something that hits different about gross-out scenes when it's a grown man reading it to your ears #with unique character voices and the occasional sound effects #but also - DavidReadsAsoiaf on youtube! he does a good job! #just in case anyone out there wants to listen to the series but doesn't want to support audible/can't pay for an audio book

@autisticempathydaemon said they loved my Angel listener (along with everything else it was SO SWEETTT OMLLL<333) so here’s a doodle for you! They’re also one of my favorites!

Look at that face.

Full of mischief.

Some fun facts about them: they’re native! Specifically they could be from the Salishan (but I don’t know too much so I leave it ambiguous) and are half Filipino, born and raised in British Columbia, Canada around Vancouver. They were raised by their mom and brothers, then moving to dahlia for college.

They originally planned to secure a high end job in Vancouver just going to California for school but they met David. They still visit their family as often as they can.

They’re 5’4, the shortest listener! Aklag is still beefy and could definitely throw David over their head. Their callouses are from being raised on a farm, and they’re starting to fade now.

I took them out of another story I made a while ago so I’m still trying to tweak them seamlessly so I’ll actually maybe probably not but make a backstory sheet for my listeners?

Thank you sm for your words and I hope you like it!

#I originally took them from an old idea I had for a book #basically their family got torn apart after their mom died so they left to California to try to avoid it #see their short hair in my first drawings of them and now after a couple years it’s long again #they were really connected to their mom so her death hit them really hard kinda making a wall around them #instead of being grumpy it’s more of a shallowish happiness of avoidance #David was really the only person to get through to them and I find it very convenient that they’re both parallels #I also made Darlin’ native and originally one of their childhood friends #darling moved to Washington #they stayed in British Columbia #not really being able to be themself #not fully being able to embrace their native nor Filipino heritage #just an idea of someone dealing with grief and I like how that they’ve evolved last my og idea thru Raudio #hint hint their slow hair growth and gaining back of weight to show their healing process #eventually I’ll draw their brothers #aurgghh I just like them a lot and had a lot of unfinished ideas for them I’m glad people like them #redacted asmr #freggzocs #freggzartz #redacted audio #redacted audio fanart #redacted asmr fanart #redacted asmr angel

Does anyone have recs for other series like ROTE? Anything with characters and relationships like Fitz and the fool, and maybe this is too much ask but goddamn I love Nighteyes and would love to find something else with that sort of bond. It doesn't have to be fantasy.

#I'm coming off reading crappy mystery books and really craving something that hits like rote #I've been listening to the audio books on my commute to work and really missing this series #maybe I'll just reread again #realm of the elderlings #rote

I remembered house of hollow & honestly the writing & vibes were so pretty ? ?

#it gave such an ethereal yet eerie vibe it just hit so well #I have the audio book but I may get the paperback as a treat #ooc.

[neuxue]

started listening to the mo du audiodrama to catch back up to where I left off with the novel (somewhere at the start of book 3) and the episode-end song???

okay okay okay give me a minute I'm fine I just

it's so lovely what the fuck

I See What You Did There with that little "孤舟随烟波渡我" at the end

but also then you get LWZ's "你去那远方没有黎明不见曙光 / 也无悔深渊同往" and first of all ouch second of all man you really can't have a priest story without an abyss can you and third of all in combination with lines like

Fei Du's "默念恶魔的名册 / 奄奄一息是我" I suddenly cannot help but look very very closely at him through the lens of the few other priest novels I know and the first 2 books of this one and ask hey Fei Du quick question where exactly are you planning for this story to go

#not sure if i will actually listen to the full audiodrama bc audio is not my medium but #it was a strong start I'll give it that #anyway off to listen to 《以沫》 like 8 more times #neuxue reads mo du #take 2 #I'm. A normal amount of excited to pick this one up again #it was one of those 'set it down not out of disinterest but becuase it just happened to be an inconvenient time to lose my fucking mind' #like i remember hitting a specific passage in the early chapters of book 3 and going 'oh. okay. this is going to eat my brain.'

[librideluna]

Gaze? Do you perhaps mean gays? Bc I know all about those.

#listening to an audio book #gaze=gays #right? #I think I’m going insane #I had a shot at like 11 this morning #it just hit me #gayyysssss #what is this

[graciousdragon]

god i wish that 8-hour fnaf lore video came out like 2 months ago because maybe i would actually be interested in my yoga class

#rys.txt #this sounds really weird if you haven't seen the video i'm talking about but it makes sense if you've seen it. trust me #i'm only like a half-hour into it (yes i only just started watching it today) and this is within that first half-hour #this was actually such a huge mindfuck tho #like when i went into this video i thought it would all just be stuff i already knew but then out of nowhere it hits me with the #'yeah the garbled speech from the fnaf 1 night 5 phone call is actually sampled from the audiobook of autobiography of a yogi #and said sampled book passage talks about scientific experiments and metal and electricity and life foreshadowing later events of the serie #and its also where fnaf fans came up with the phrase the joy of creation' #like why is this the first time i'm hearing about this??? #i just thought that was some random ass audio i didn't know it came from a yoga audiobook?? what the fuck

imagine like simon goes into some sort of surgery and has to be put under anesthesia, and when he gets out hes like still high asf on it 💀 and hes being a lil silly goose

okay this is such a cute idea omg, this is 100% based off that tiktok audio where it's like "my wife wouldn't like you touching me like that" "i AM your wife."

thank you so much for the request nonnie, a forehead kiss for you MWAH MWAH

simon 'ghost' riley x reader

wc: 563

warnings: none really, lots and lots of that good ol fluff, mentions of surgery, goofy simon, maybe a little ooc simon (he's high so it's fine)

a/n: i hope this is okay, i'm feeling a bit rusty with my writing but i've finally got back some motivation and energy to do so after the past two months of low energy and bad mental health. if you guys want to know a bit more about it and my mental health (i don't see why anyone would but lmao) let me know, i don't mind making a post about it if you guys want an explanation of some sort or whatever. anywho, sorry this is so short but i hope you still like it!! <3

a/n 2.0: i recently applied for a part time job at a bookstore so y'all pray for me that i get this job because i want it so bad. i am just gonna decide that i WILL get this job, because why wouldn't i?

simon had been out of surgery for just over an hour now, being a soldier you 'd think perhaps he was going under surgery for some kind of wound he had inflicted upon him on the battlefield but no, he was just getting his tonsils removed after a bad bout of tonsillitis ended up with him developing really bad tonsil stones.

so here you were, waiting by his bedside for him to wake up. the doctor and nurses reminded you just as he had gotten out that he may still be a little, well loopy, off of the meds depending on how quickly he woke up. you waited in a chair at his bedside, reading a book when you heard the blankets of the bed rustling just a little.

looking up from your book you see simon starting to wake up and you reach out to grasp his hand, only for him to rip it away from you when his eyes were fully opened.

"uh, si? you okay, hon?" you ask gently, maybe he just wasn't feeling too well after waking up, or perhaps he wasn't wanting physical touch, that happened quite often and you always respected that space he may want when he wanted it.

"don't call me that." simon said, voice hoarse and scratchy from the surgery, he sounded a little angry.

"what?" you questioned, this wasn't like simon, you couldn't understand why he wouldn't want you speaking like this to him.

"i'm taken."

"i know." you replied with a short laugh.

"you should be touching me like that then."

it hit you then, he was woozy from the meds and didn't recognize you. the realization made you laugh a little more. you decided to have a bit of fun with this high version of your boyfriend.

"sorry about that simon. wanna tell me about your partner?"

"oh, (name)? they're amazing, you know they're so pretty. and they're funny too. they always know how to make me feel better, i miss them." simon replies, ranting and raving on and on to you about his partner, about you.

"you love them a lot, don't you?" you ask him with a smile, it felt so nice to hear all these lovely things about yourself, your boyfriend clearly unfiltered by the effects of the anesthesia he was under.

sure he definitely said sweet things to your face, but something about hearing it when he was basically high as shit made your heart pound a little more.

"i love them with my whole heart." simon replies, a goofy little smile on his face.

you can't help but reach out to gently caress his face at those words, body filling up with some much adoration for the soldier in front of you.

"hey! what did i say about touching me. i have a partner!" simon scolds, trying to dodge your touch.

"simon, love... i am your partner. it's me, (name)." you reply with a laugh.

simon takes a good long look at you when you tell him this, he stares at you, looks you up and down before letting out a soft and quiet "oh."

you begin to hear the beeping of his heart rate monitor speed up, his cheeks turning slightly pink as he stares up at you.

you couldn't help but laugh a little more at this. what a sweet idiot. your sweet idiot.

i said it in the tags of another post but among all the talk of how wtnv revolutionized queer media - which they did - i feel like we're neglecting to mention that night vale changed podcasting as a medium. fiction podcasts as we know them now straight up did not exist before cranor and fink got their start. nonfiction pods were very much a thing, but the only pre-night vale fiction podcasts i can name offhand the leviathan chronicles, metamor city, and we're alive. and if you go back and listen to them, they are a lot less like the format we know now (usually diagetic recordings) and were basically just fully acted audio books. and they were good! the leviathan chronicles is a personal favorite. but podcasts as truly immersive fiction? that's night vale, all the way. the fact that they tend to favor horror? also night vale. the fact that you can't swing a cat without hitting some form of queer in just about any successful show? bingo.

i just think that we don't give them the credit they deserve for being the fucking blueprint.

#could talk about this for. hours. #wtnv #welcome to night vale

at walgreens my dad and i were in line with an irish guy who told a lot of eskimo/inuit jokes (”what did the eskimo say after his housewarming party? ‘looks like i’m homeless!’“ “how does an eskimo keep his igloo together? lots of glue!”) and when we went to the library...

there he was telling more jokes! ;D

#he could write a little book with just eskimo/inuit jokes in it #ooh an audio book would be even better with his accent :) #it would be a hit! ;D #my dad told some jokes too which made it even better! ;D #but the best part was running into the guy at the library! :o #now that's a joke! ;D

Spiderverse men when they’re sexually frustrated

Rating: 18+

Peter B Parker

-He’s the best at hiding it, he gets quieter. And when he does speak his on brand dry deflections get notably bitchier. Before you porn was how he got off. It was a means to an end, there wasn’t anything sexy he found. He just needed a release then he’d go about his day.

-But you, you are sexy. With you it’s a delicious spiral of physical and emotional intimacy only you two shared. And when he wanted more he needed more.

-His pants would get tighter just being in the same room as you, his eyes would fall to his favorite parts of you to grab onto during the act. He’d press his touch to linger longer on your skin. Peter would tenderly dry hump you when you’d let him get that close. Sending every wordless signal in the book that he wants you, he needs you.

-If that doesn’t send the message, he’ll cheekily say hes got something to show you in your bedroom. Tenderly leashing his grip onto your hend as he leads you. Once that doors closed. He kisses you with a fervent hunger.

-Violently rubbing his fingers against your skin, aggressively hammering his hips into yours. Eating away at your lips, and in between gasps he’d say.

“Jesus baby, you gonna tease me without even trying?…do you have any idea what this body does to me…?”

Miguel O’Hara

-This man isn’t the least bit subtle, it would just take him a while to realize. He’s not a man who lets his guard down easily. Even when he’s in a committed physical and emotional relationship. His baggage often intersects between every milestone of your relationship.

-However when the itch in his mind and dick isn’t scratched for enough. He acts, he gets grabby. Massaging the flush of your ass and even getting hold of your pussy. He doesn’t need to ask when his fingers do all the talking for him.

-If you playfully deny him, he’ll get even angrier. Lashing out more at the spider society members, refusing to eat or drink. Zeroing in on his work praying the audio cues of his holographic computers can drown out the scream of sexual fantasies his head is playing. How desperately he needs you more than sleep and air.

-When you do finally let him hit, foreplay is the name of the game. He just needs to satiate the surface level lust of his fangs tasting the flesh of your throat. Your whimpering and cries for his cock when you denied him earlier.

-Its his payback time as what you done to him he does back ten fold. Denying you his length exploring your insides. Even to the point of you crying, he’d laugh as he humps you with the same fervor he preforms during sex.

“What happened?…thought you didn’t want this…thought my cock rearranging your insides as my tongue takes control of your mouth wasn’t what you needed? Beg for it more and I’ll consider it…”

Hobie Brown

-Hobies in tune with himself, he knows the burning sensations weaved into his muscles for your touch is cause you two haven’t had much alone time lately. Even if you’re casual, he could go out and fuck someone else whose down. It wouldn’t be the same.

-Like his hands tightened around his cock, crafting friction with his violently shifting grip. His length has a mind of its own, it belongs to you and only you.

-He doesn’t sexually initiate usually, he lets you take the lead in the bedroom department. It’s not all about him and he takes no risks in potentially coercing you into sex. So weeks could pass when nothing happens between you too. And he’s trying to jerk himself off every other night.

-But when you finally go down on your knees, trying to undo his jean zipper. Is when he can finally relent. Tenderly combing his hand into your hair, massaging your scalp as you choke on his cock. He has to resist not giving out right when he feels your tongue on his foreskin.

-Your blowjobs are a thing of art, he creates new rips in his sheets by the violence of his fingernails digging into the fabric. Cause of how good the inside of your mouth feels around him.

“Christ love, Jesus Christ….you’re too good…fuck too good.”
