Deviant! AMAB Male Reader x Hank

Sequel to that other Deviant Male Reader story :)

NSFW/LONG (jesus christ it's fucking long) Fic - Warnings: Established Relationship, Android Virginity gone?, AMAB Reader (Terms like: dick, cock, hole), (The request did not clarify who's top/bottom so I made Hank bottom and Reader top). Soft sex. Minor hair pulling (kink)? Praise Kink, Blowjob (Hank receiving)

Detroit Become Human

Note: First time writing smut here, so it's gonna be my rusty smut writing.

3 months had passed since Hank and I's first kiss and our first date, and I'd been staying over at Hank's house more often since he thought that it'd be better for me to stay in a slightly more open room.

I've accustomed myself to Sumo, and the feeling of the shared bed Hank and I have now, and the silly movies that Hank enjoys.

Though, it seems that Hank tends to forget that I'm an android. He sometimes cooks food and offers it to me, or says "We've hung out this entire day and you haven't used the bathroom this whole day, have you talked to your doctor abut it?"

It's funny when he remembers, and it's nice to see him ask questions about me-- but I've realized that there's something else at the tip of his tongue. Like he's waiting for something, like he wants to say something.

It's been happening for maybe a week or so.

As I lay on his couch, scrolling through the tv channels, I notice him from the corner of my eye, leaning on the kitchen counter. He's hesitating again, nervous.

And I hear him take a deep breath.

"Do you know what sex is?"

Hank's avoiding eye contact at this point, and it's getting me worried

"I mean, I've read about it in the books that I have, so I know what it is. If you're asking me if I've had sex? No." I answered simply. His heart's beating faster and he's visibly nervous and blushing. It's cute.I place my eyes on him and only him,

"Right, so- fuck. I know this isn't supposed to be this nerve wracking to ask, but it's just.. it's been a long time and-" He pauses, as if looking for his words, but he's struggling.

I get up from the couch, walking over to him and place my hands on his waist to kiss him. The furthest we've ever gone is heated make out sessions, and the times that I play innocent and blind to me grinding up against him occasionally. "I want to take us to the next step too, if you're okay with that" I ask for him. He nods, furrowing his brows as he composes himself. He's breathing heavier and his hand firmly holding mine while we head to our room.

-------NSFW--------

"I'll be honest, I really don't know what I'm doing--" I admit, slipping my shirt off hesitantly. "That's okay, I can help" Hank reassures, "Just follow my lead, you shouldn't need to feel tense. For now, we can just take our clothes off" He sits on the edge of the bed, unbuttoning his shirt while I'm already down to my boxers. I take this opportunity to place my hands on Hank's belt, my fingers fidgeting with the buckle. He practically folds in front of me with eyes wides. "Can I help you with this?" I ask

"Yes" He huffs eagerly, watching me unbuckle his belt with ease, and unbutton his pants (with less ease). I let him pull his pants down, and there's this excitement that fills the room. Hank hasn't done this sort of thing in a while, as he'd confessed on our first date, while I'm inexperienced, but have a broad idea for what I'm in for.

He groans a bit to himself, palming himself over his boxers before scooting himself back into the bed, and with his other hand, pulling me towards him.

I laugh softly, running my hand through his hair before giving him light kisses to his mouth, cheek, forehead... and eventually to his neck, and that's where he starts to crumble. His breath hitches, and soft groans escape him as I leave hickeys and trails of kisses around his collarbone. Something I've never and will never get tired of.

His hand finds it's way to the back of my neck this time, grouping my hair into his hand and giving it a light tug to move me lower. To his chest.

I hum along, my hands roaming his body. He's perfect, from the way he lets out soft breaths of relief from the way I kiss and bite him, my hands groping his sides, and slowly moving up to his chest.

"Gently, I want you play with my nipples, okay?"

I look up at him and see his pleading eyes,

"Yes, love"

I place one hand over his nipple, and start playing with him, trying to discover his reactions and sweet sounds, curious for him. With the other, I start trailing my hand down to his lower stomach. He subtly thrusts his hips up for friction, only making him sigh in defeat as he realized I'm stopping there to tease him

"Did I tell you, you could just place your hand there?" He asks, knowing the answer. I purse my lips and shrug "I don't know what you're talking about"

"[Name], just-" He starts, "god, fuck you" he huffs. I chuckle, watching him writhe a little under me.

"What do you need?" I ask,

"Just touch me, put your hand on my dick" he orders. Though this is where I freeze. So far, all my knowledge from books and my relationship with Hank has gotten to this point. Teasing, flirting, the hickies- but me actually pleasuring someone with my hands?

He notices my hesitance before placing his hands on the sides of my face, "I'll tell you what to do, don't worry"

My eyes soften to his voice, and slowly I move my hand down to his clothed dick. He takes a deep breath, before whispering out "Good boy, just... keep moving your hand over it and be a little rougher"

I did as he said, applying slight pressure and repeating up and down movements over his dick, watching his breathing get heavier and his voice get whinier by the second. Though my curiosity starts getting the better of me. How would he react if I pulled his boxers down? Touched him without the barrier? Got a taste of him?

With my free hand I played with the hem of his boxers, wondering how I'd ask for permission. Hank, fortunately, caught on. He gave me another (slightly more pressured) tug to my hair, "It's okay, you can do it"

He smiled at me, watching me study him closely while I pull down his boxers, seeing his hard on. My emotions go all over the place as Hank comforts me, rubbing the crook of my neck and shoulders and his eyes softly looking at just me

"What should I do?" I ask, "Like-"

"What do you want to do?"

"But-" I'm interrupted by Hank once more

"You can do whatever you want to me, darling. I trust you" He says.

Reluctantly, I lower my head and place my hands on his thighs to move his legs apart and give me space. Hank hums in approval, laying his head back while his hand gently leads me.

Unfortunately, the lack of taste buds don't give me a more 'human experience' but I'll take what I can get. I run my tongue over the tip of his cock, my hands at the base before I start putting more and more in my mouth. His hips and legs shake a little, and he's breathing quicker- heavier- almost letting out whines and I already feel myself heating up at the thought.

Carefully I start bobbing my head, closing my eyes as I enjoy the moment and hearing him in pleasure.

"Goo-d boy, fuck. You're doing perfect, just don't- don't hurt yourself" He adds. I hum, noticing a shiver come from him as the sounds I make cause the vibrations to his dick, and I find this moment to tease him. I let out groans, trying to take a little bit more in, massaging his thighs while I treat him, feeling him get more desperate

"Keep going, please" he begs, "I- I'm gonna cum"

Knowing that I'm the one who'll get him to cum with just my mouth makes my stomach churn, like a sense of possession. I keep at my pace, hearing him get closer to his end, not even noticing that he's trying to thrust into my mouth. Android positives? No gag reflex.

He's panting, before rushing his hand to my hair again and giving me a tug as he cums in my mouth. I pause before taking his cock out of my mouth, and swallowing it.

"You can spit it out now" He huffs, sitting up on his elbows

"Spit what out?" I ask,

"Did..." He stared down at me in a little bit of shock before hiding his face in his hands and laughing, " I don't know what I'm gonna do with you.."

lightheartedly, we laughed at the situation (though I was a little lost, his laugh lights up my day).

He kisses me, wrapping his arms behind my neck, hooking me closer to him

"Are you still up to fuck me?" He asks, both of us now fully comfortable in the atmosphere. I nod, peppering his face once more with kisses as he praises me and giggles

"Then I'll lay down, there's lube in my drawer" he mentions for me. I reach other, scrounging for it until I find the bottle, practically full. "I use this to.." I wait for him to fill in the gaps

"Lubricant, like to decrease the pain" he clarifies.

"how long have you had this?" I asked

"Just a couple weeks.." he says, looking away. I don't question further as my attention moves to the bottle, "But- uh. I already used some to.. prep myself before" He mutters.

We both blush at the confession, and I silently squirt some on my finegrs. "Well I still want to be careful with your body" I state, "I would never want you to feel hurt"

He positions himself, spreading his legs and his hands spread his ass so I could get the full view, him looking away to the side in embarrassment. The image itself turned me on, and my tightening boxers made the situation a little worse. I clear my throat, "There's nothing to be embarrassed about, love. You're very very handsome" I say, watching his squeeze his eyes and his lips part as I slip on finger inside of him.

From 1 finger curling, it was easy to slip in 2, and almost surprisingly, 3. He moans, his hands gripping at the sheets

"How're you doing?" I ask, "do you need something?"

"Just- just go quicker, please. I need you" he pleads.

I swallow, hard. "Right, of course"

I take my fingers out, notice him whine at the lack of contact. I pull my boxers down, finally, and positions myself closer to him, adding lube to my own dick. His eyes widen at my full image, and moaned softly at my appearance, "Please, god, just fuck me right here"

"Yes darling" I nod, placing the tip of my cock at his hole, pushing myself in as Hank arches his back, moaning and trying to pull me closer as he wraps his legs around my waist

"Fuck yea, that's right" He groans, "give me a second"

I look down at him as he adjusts to my size for about 2-3 minutes, grinding occasionally to see if he's set.

"Yeah, shit. I'm good, you can move now" He says, a happy smile on his face. I start moving my hips, in and out, seeing him tremble and smile to himself again, pulling me in to kiss him while I fuck him.

"You're such a good boy, [Name]. You're fucking me so well" He praises, "Shit why didn't we do this sooner?"

He grunts, "Faster, please"

I follow his order, holding back the fact that I wanted to cum as he squeezes me. I moan into his shoulder, my hand gripping at the bed for balance while I ravage him

"Shit, pretty boy! You're so good!" He moans loudly, for a second worrying me about the neighbors, but Hank's much more distracting.

"God I love you, Hank" I mutter, "I love you so much"

"I love you too" He replies, his hands back on the sides of my face. He gasps lightly as I find new angles to fuck him at until he finally starts saying he's ready

"Ready for what, hm?" I let out, a smirk clear on my face

"I wanna cum, darling. I'm going to cum, cum with me" he pants, "Be a good boy and cum inside me"

I nod, wincing out as I feel him tighten a little around me. I speed up my thrusts, watching Hank become an utter mess below me. "I'm cumming" I moan

"Good boy, on the count of 3, got it?" He huffs, and I just can't deny him.

"1"

I whimper, feeling the edge make me sensitive

"2"

Hank's voice pitches slightly, squeezing his eyes shut and throwing his head back

"3"

I rode out my orgasm inside of him, still thrusting as he came over his belly and some on me. We were panting, the smell of sex clear as day and us both sweaty.

I broke the silence, taking one deep breath "That was fucking amazing, baby" I smile, "I'll get us some water and a towel before we cuddle, but do you want to take a shower together?"

He sighs, a lazy smile on his face as he stretches, "Yeah, that'll be nice before I wash these blankets"

Warning:Vent Post about that New Megamind "Sequel"

Please note this is my own opinion and feelings about the film. Do not harrass anyone who created the show or anyone who likes the show. Even if I have no clue why you would like this show.

Harrass DreamWorks executives who did this instead.

You've been warned.

Megamind VS the Doom Syndicate sucks ass and we shouldn't accept this as new Megamind lore.

It's a disgrace to the character and people shouldn't be guilt tripped into liking it. We shouldnt be called ungrateful for caring about how much love went into the original and wanting the sequel to be the same in quality and writing. Even if the Doom Syndicate were in the original concepts, they are still massacred in this movie.

What do you gain from this new show? What interesting, new things come from this or the new show?

That's right. It's nothing.

There are no risks taken, no smart action sequences, no improved storytelling, and no new storyline.

No characters goes through an arc, nor are they three-dimensional. They are all husks of their personalities, and they made everyone either dumb or an insufferable prick.

They took away anything from the original film and shat on its OG premise. They spat in our faces, the original fans who grew up with this film. The people who probably resognated with the film's themes. They expect us to ignore the fact that they do not care about quality or what made Megamind a great film.

I also want to apply this to the other past movies they did this with (except a few). They've done this before, and we can't let them do this again. They have the money and capability to make great sequels and shows.

Do not support this nothing burger of a show. Support the Button of Doom short instead. Do not let DreamWorks think it's alright to make money off of being lazy.

They didn't rise up as a company by making shitty TV shows.

Aqua Teen Hunger Force #83: "The Creature From the Plaque Lagoon" | April 26, 2009 - 11:45PM | S07E05

Shake is trying to smash Meatwad’s one tooth out with a golf club. After various mishaps and some on-purpose gratuitous hitting, he finally gets the dang thing out of there. They want to make a “nice buck” from the Tooth Fairy. Shake intends to ambush her, thinking it’ll lead to riches and bitches. But “we got the fry man over here” indeed, Frylock simply walks in and conks out Shake with a dart, for there is no tooth fairy, only Frylock. 

A TWIST! A shadowy figure clobbers Frylock and makes off with not just Meatwad’s tooth, but also his mom and dad’s teeth. They search for the culprit fruitlessly, only determining that he’s the Creature from the Plaque Lagoon. They find his website, which has a scary flash intro Meatwad demands they skip. Eventually they run into Gary the Dairy Fairy, who shows up to promote the calcium content of your favorite dairy products. He knows where to find the Creature, but when they do he reveals that he didn’t actually do it, and that his identity was being stolen. Uh, I’ll spare you the flowery prose: it turns out it’s the guy from Dickesode but now he’s a tooth and the episode ends with Shake eating hotwings out of a blender.

It always seemed a little odd to me that they made a sequel to DIckesode and changed dicks to teeth. It seems like a less-extreme version of the previous episode would result in diminishing returns. I guess it did, but this episode was much funnier than I remembered. Meatwad asking Shake to tell him a story over the walkie talkie! The Newhart references! Shake talking about gripping on Days of Thunder, which I am accepting as canon. I believe him, this time. There’s also some good new guys in this. Gary the Dairy Fairy is voiced by Jon Schnepp, an artist who worked on Aqua Teen and Metalocalypse. He was also the voice of C. Ling Tile on Space Ghost and one of them Wisdom Cubes. He also died in 2018. RIP to a proper legend. 

The episode sorta peters out, but that’s okay. It was a fun time hanging out with my friends (Milkshake cup, French Fries, and Meatwd).

MAIL BAG

A tidbit I just remembered about the last Xavier: there's a joke in that about a room of mental patients who think they're Mohammed and they're all blurred out. When that aired on TV, the word Mohammed got bleeped. I think I accurately guessed what the joke was before I actually saw it uncensored on DVD. Why don't you use me for your next event?

I somehow don't remember this joke even though I try very hard to commit Xavier episodes to memory, completely. Damn. It really do be like that, though. It's a shame about the whole Mohammed thing back around this time, bombing stuff for disrespecting your religion is just too funny

According to a 2017 bumper they mention that "S&P unintentionally punched up the show by censoring lines like “Jesus, save me” which became “Jesus, BLEEEP me.”" That's probably what it was. They also mention that the lead who plays Jesus was super allergic to the hay on the set.

Now this I did not know. If you are trolling me right now, just know that you are loathsome and will never see heaven. But I like that you read my blog, so that's all water under my bridge. I assumed he was saying "Jesus Save Me", but I recalled both "save" and "me" being bleeped, so idk what to think. They shouldn't bleep Bill Tush. There should be a rule that he can say whatever he wants on TV and it's uncensored always. Even slurs

[magniloquent-raven]

like two months ago i wrote a ficlet about billy jerkin off in steve's bed and now it's steve's turn to be gross and horny in this here sequel lmfao, ENJOY! (edit: also both parts are now on ao3 💕)

~~tag list @growup-thatbeautiful @spreckle @prettyboy-like-you ~~

**

Steve is drunk.

It's a good buzz. Everything's floaty and warm. The couch is cushy. If he relaxes completely he can sink into the overstuffed upholstery and it's almost like he doesn't have a body at all. It's the middle of the night, the shapes of patio furniture and trees are vaguely silhouetted in the gloom, but it's easy to ignore the world outside. Easy to pretend the only thing that exists is this room, him and Billy. The coffee table in front of them, lit up intermittently by whatever TV show is playing. The volume is too low for him to make out what anyone is saying and he can't focus on the picture for long enough to make sense of the blobs of colour and bright light. 

Billy is asleep next to him, slumped against the cushions, his body angled away from Steve. His face isn't visible, but his thigh is firmly pressed against Steve's and it's the only goddamn thing Steve can focus on.

He was content vaguely tuning in and out of whatever was playing on TV, enjoying the quiet intimacy of sharing the loveseat in a room full of perfectly good empty chairs, until Billy listed off to the side and his knee shifted. And now Steve's whole body is a livewire. He doesn't know what to do with his hands. 

He knows what he wants to do. He can't stop picturing all the things he wants to do. In vivid technicolour. With surround sound. It's making it very difficult to just sit and relax. 

And, see, Billy's been acting weird all night. They hung out this afternoon and everything was normal, but after Steve got back from his beer run…

Maybe he shouldn't have gone alone? Maybe Billy was annoyed about getting left by himself. Or something.

But he didn't seem mad, he was just acting…weird. It's usually pretty obvious when Billy is pissed about something. Even when he's not outright yelling and cursing, he gets brittle almost. Sharp and breakable. Pushy. 

This wasn't that. He was drinking more than he usually would. Biting his thumbnail with a faraway look in his eye. Almost like something was upsetting him except once or twice he caught Billy hiding a giddy little smile when he thought Steve wasn't looking. 

And then there was the flirting. 

It's not like Billy never jokes around like that. Steve figures it's just something he does. Throwing out innuendos and leaning in real close just to tease. Doing that thing with his tongue. It's Billy being Billy. But tonight it was relentless, and now Steve has to deal with his stupid biteable thigh pressing up against him and it's just a lot to ask of him, okay.

He glances over at the hem of Billy's shorts. It's resting higher than it's supposed to, and his shorts weren't especially modest to begin with. His skin looks smooth. The fine blond hairs dusting his leg are barely visible in the flickering TV glow, and relaxes as he is it's hard to believe his thigh is built almost entirely of corded muscle. He's soft in his sleep. If Steve touched him, pressed his fingertips in—

Steve tucks his hands against his sides, trapped by the crook of his elbows. He stares resolutely at the vague outline of a woman yelling, hands flying, curls bouncing. The screen cuts to a man, calm, motionless. 

Then they're kissing.

It's not an especially appealing kiss. The woman's lips are pursed awkwardly, and the man is moving his head too much, trying to appear passionate, one would assume. 

But Steve goes rigid anyways. Bites his lip. Tries not to press further into Billy's space.

Billy would kiss better than that. He wouldn't be afraid to open his mouth. Wouldn't be shy about showing Steve exactly why every girl who's ever made out with him at a party has tried to come back for seconds. He's good with his tongue, apparently. Knows not to push in too far, knows exactly how much to tease and leave people wanting. 

God, Steve wants. He wants and he hasn't even…

"Fuck," Steve mutters, shifting in place, careful not to jostle Billy. He squeezes his knees together, trying to shimmy his jeans into a more comfortable position. It doesn't help. "Shit."

Billy was absolutely hammered, chances are he's out cold. Dead to the world for the next eight to ten hours. Steve could probably have a full-on hookup with someone right now and Billy wouldn't wake up. He'd just slumber on, completely unaware of Steve six inches away with his hard cock buried in whoever was ready and willing. 

He'd have to fuck slowly, shallow thrusts, keeping quiet just in case. He used to love that. Climbing through a girl's window while her parents were home, just for the excuse to take his time. "Wouldn't want to get caught, right?" He'd say, winking as he slid between her legs, muffling her cries with a soft press of his mouth, sinking into her as deep as he could go and letting her grind against him. If he closed his eyes and lied to himself it was almost like making love.

One of his hands migrates south without his permission, palm brushing his strained zipper. 

Nancy had been soft and sweet and willing, but for all her contented sighs and blushing cheeks she hadn't loved him. Maybe he'd lied to himself so much he'd lost sight of what love actually looked like. Maybe he never knew. 

It wouldn't look like that with Billy, he thinks. It wouldn't be slow. Billy would probably hate slow. 

Steve had been with girls who liked to pull him under the bleachers and ride his cock, fast and sloppy. The harder he gripped their hips the wetter they got, digging their nails into his chest and taking what they wanted from him. It was never Steve's favourite way to get laid, but the thought of Billy having his way like that makes an embarrassing noise claw its way out of him, catching him by surprise. Heat, molten desire simmering low in his gut, spreads through him, tingling in his veins. 

He bucks his hips, unconsciously seeking friction, biting his lip hard enough that he tastes blood. 

Billy's thigh is a brand along the side of his leg, and Steve desperately wishes he was wearing shorts too, wishes he was feeling Billy's bare skin against his own.

His eyes fall shut as he palms himself again, pulling a sharp breath through his nose, a stuttering exhale, and—

Billy shifts beside him. He makes a soft sound, stirring, pressing more firmly against Steve as he adjusts positions.

And Steve's heart just about stops. He sits, frozen, his hand resting against his denim-clad cock, still thrumming with pent up sexual frustration, trying to will Billy back to sleep. 

"Steve?"

Shit.

Jesus fucking shit, he sounds tiny and precious when he's half asleep and it tugs at Steve's insides in ways it shouldn't. Steve's heart seems to be trying to leap out of his mouth, and he lurches forward without thinking, following his stupid instincts, he jumps up off the couch, shooting upright so fast his head spins.

"I'm going to bed—night!" falls out of his face all at once and he flees the room, taking the stairs two at a time.

He doesn't take a second to breathe until he's in his bedroom, back against his closed door. His chest heaves. 

"Fuck."

Here's hoping Billy chalks that up to a weird dream. Or the booze. 

Then again, last time Steve gambled on hope he ended up getting (possibly??) caught jerking off while his friend was asleep next to him, Jesus Christ, he's so fucked.

He doesn't expect to sleep at all, not with the amount of adrenaline pumping through him right now, but he can't just fucking stand here all night, so he goes to lay down.

At first he's too distracted to notice anything. It's dark, he's drunk and not paying attention, he doesn't clock that his sheets are rumpled in ways they definitely weren't this morning. 

But when he collapses face-first onto his pillow, he's gets a noseful of a thick musky scent that hits him right in the gut. 

It used to embarrass the hell out of Nancy when he'd nuzzle into the thatch of curls between her legs, breathing deep and savoring the way she smelled when she was flushed and slick, quivering over the slightest touch. She'd hide her face and kick his shoulder as some kind of admonishment, like she thought he was making fun of her. 

He wasn't. He really, really wasn't.

He burrows further into his pillow, muffling a groan. His jeans are unbearably tight, restricting, he doesn't spare a thought before fumbling with his zipper and shoving them down just enough to free his cock. 

It's already wet around the tip, and he chokes on a relieved sob when he finally grips it in his hand, stroking without finesse, rolling his hips with the motion. 

His brain is foggy. Humid, sticky fog, full of hazy images. Billy's lips after a swig of beer, wet and red, his tongue chasing droplets of moisture clinging to the corner of his mouth. His fingers, sturdy, calloused, strong hands with surprising grace. The cut of his thighs. The way he fills out his jeans. The way his shirt sticks to his back when he sweats, the smell of him after a workout—

The thought twigs just as he shudders through one final thrust, his pace stuttering, his open mouth wet against his pillowcase. He flops in his own sticky mess, boneless, but his mind is racing.

Did Billy…?

But it would smell different wouldn't it? Steve's never sniffed his own dirty briefs, but he's pretty sure it's not the same. So…

There's a thump outside his door, muffled cursing, a louder thunk as something small but heavy hits the carpet. 

Steve falls out of bed, forgetting his jeans are halfway down his thighs and getting tangled in them as he tries to roll over. 

He shuffles his way to the door, hastily pulling them up as he goes.

"Billy?"

Another thump. More cursing.

He flicks on his bedroom light and throws his door open.

There's a ceramic goose on the floor, and Billy is standing at the top of the stairs, wide-eyed and pink-cheeked. 

They blink at each other.

Billy recovers first, shoving his hands into his shorts pockets and more or less reining in his shock. Doesn't do much for the blush—which Steve cannot stop staring at, his fingers itching to touch—but he does a good job of pretending it isn't there. "Nice night, huh?" he says innocently, rocking on his heels.

"...Sure."

"I was just—"

"Did you jerk off in my bed?" It bursts out of him before he can stop it, all in a loud, embarrassed rush. His heart hammers against his ribcage, and he's suddenly keenly aware of the come drying in his underwear. 

A wild swoop of hope blooms in his chest when Billy freezes. It's an answer all on its own, but Steve still needs to hear him say it. He wants to hear him say it. Billy opens his mouth wordlessly, closing it a couple times before he swipes his tongue across his bottom lip. "And if I did?" He tilts his chin like a challenge. 

Steve's throat goes dry. He swallows hard. "I, uh. Wouldn't mind it."

There's a long pause while Billy looks him up and down, his brows drawn together. "Is that…" His gaze flicks to Steve's, burning into him as a wicked grin tugs at his lips. "Pretty boy, were you thinkin' about me in there?" 

"...Yes."

The admission seems to rock Billy. Despite his teasing and his bravado, his cheeks darken and he wavers, eyes going heavy-lidded as they trail down Steve's face. He picks absently at his thumbnail, scratching at it with his index finger. "Huh."

"Show me." He sounds more confident than he feels, but the nervous trembles in his stomach are nothing compared to how intoxicating it is when Billy visibly reacts, his breath stuttering in his throat. "I wanna see what you did."

He hears a tiny, barely audible, "Fuck," as Billy exhales slowly. He takes a step closer to Steve's bedroom. "Okay."

2. No sequels, prequels, or remakes of movies you have seen before or watch for the challenge.

3. The exception to the rule is in theater releases. (If you're going out, treat yourself)

4. It doesn't matter how you watch it. (streaming, physical, YouTube, etc. Whatever you have accessible.)

5. You can skip days or double up on movies, just so long as 100 are watched within the time frame.

6. Preferably over 40+ minutes. There are some wonderful short films and specials that shouldn't go overlooked, but nothing too short.

7. Horror shows do not count toward the challenge. However, if it is like a made for TV halloween/horror special, very prominent in children's media, that is fine.

8. This is a challenge based on your viewing history, preferences, and accessibility. The rules are yours to change or discard entirely. Whatever works for you!

The rules are very simple, but the possibilities are endless! If there are classics you've just never got around to or you want to expand your knowledge of a subgenre you rarely explore, this is a great time to explore.

Helpful tools and ideas!

1. TUBI (free with ads streaming service): It's free with a remarkably huge library of popular, obscure, and international movies. If you want to just pop something on, it's super easy to find something random. Tubi is not very curated, so if you want something more specific, make sure you decide on a movie beforehand.

2. IMDB PARENTAL GUIDE/DOES THE DOG DIE? (content warnings services): If there are hard NOs for watching a horror movie, or you prefer to be prepared, these seem to be the most reliable and in-depth for warnings.

3. Tumblr, Letterbox, and Wikipedia are great places to get ideas for what to watch. There are many horror blogs that have daily movies, lists, and gifsets. Letterbox has a lot of curated lists if you're looking for a certain subgenre or vibe. Wikipedia has lists of movies by year, decade, genre, country, etc. There are plenty of other spaces to get inspiration as well, all depending on your interests.

I have been recording my movies via Instagram stories, but I will be starting to document my journey here as well. If you decide to join in, I'd love to see what you are watching!

Hi, I was wondering what are your thoughts on the 2001 Maniacs The Fields Of Screams movie sequel, cause I love/hate this movie, I love the actors who portray Buckman and Harper Alexander in this one and probably wished they had more screentime together and the fact that they looked like they enjoyed themselves making the movie. But, I do have problems with it like the comedy is kind of cringy and felt forced at times, focused too much on that instead of the horror aspect, had too many awkward sexual scenes which felt like they could have been left out, and the plot was a mess and had so many plotholes, like them going on a bus and travel the country as if they were alive, even though they're ghosts and shouldn't be able to move locations, also another plothole was they were counting how many victims they had so far. They counted the kills from the first as their firsts, which is a little ridiculous cause, if that was their first, what have they been doing this entire time from when they died/ became ghosts to the present day? also the whole reality tv plot along with unbearably annoying stereotypes for "main characters" especially the bratty barbie rich girls really hindered my enjoyment of the movie, aside from many things. but overall, I say comparing it to the first movie, I'd say the first movie is superior and just kinda wished they made this sequel movie as a prequel aka to show the origin story and how the town was like before the massacre and maybe show the very first festival they had. They tried so hard to make it so different from the first, that they forgot the things that made the first a great remake to 2000 maniacs. Sorry for the ranting, but I would really love to hear your thoughts on it!!!! >_<

I ACTUALLY HAVENT SEEN IT! 😅 Oh man! I've got the DVD but it has never actually touched my DVD player... To be honest my appreciation of 2001 Maniacs is very much character/concept based. I'm interested in the idea of this horrible, feral little town of heinous, confederate hicks literally stuck in time. In a pretty boy who acts sweet but is really terrifying, in a one eyed mayor that is so damn good with his words he can convince a couple of college students to stay in a strange little country town for spring break, in a crazy old lady who's unapologetically lewd and decidedly not classy. And the fact that Robert Englund and Lin Shaye play the psycho mayoral couple does not hurt.

I will definetly watch it one day, but not so far XD

I'm really interested in what you've said, though!! Sounds like the second one (Despite having Bill Moseley, Lin Shaye again, and Nivek Ogre in the cast) is a bit of a trainwreck! XD Sounds fun, but I dunno /: Haha

Please tell me more! I love how literate you are, your opinion so well put together!

#i am not a fan of sex scenes in general also. so...

The Pillars of the Earth (1989)

The Pillars of the Earth is a great story. Unfortunately, Ken Follett is not a good storyteller.

Hold on, hear me out. I know it's a modern classic of English historical literature. I know it had a well-received TV series, three sequels, a video game, and even made Oprah's book club. So what's your problem, exactly? It's very, very dry. The book constantly tells us what happened. It's a book. That's the idea. No, I mean- Look, let me just show you.

It couldn't be true. Frank set the phone down on his desk, and looked at his shaking hand. It couldn't- He squeezed his eyes shut, against the prickling. She couldn't- Frank didn't decide to get up, didn't even realize he was doing it until he was staring at his bookcase. At the titles. Useless, all of them. He turned away from the bookcase. Okay. She didn't tell him she was eating with another man. Maybe- He walked across the room, to the display shelves, and turned back. The carpet muffled the tap, tap, tap of his Oxfords. -maybe she had a good reason. Maybe the other man was a cousin, or a colleague. Maybe she was just having a normal, platonic lunch. Maybe it was last minute. A smile spread across Frank's face. Yeah. Yeah, that made sense. He glanced at his desk. At his phone. Doesn't Jane always tell me if she's eating with someone? And his smile faded. Either she forget, or- Something in his chest squeezed tight. -she did it on purpose.

What's wrong with that? That's perfectly good writing. Yes, it is. And that's how I would write it. Follett would be more like this.

The news from Frank shocked James, and he went into denial of his wife's adultery. He paced across his home office, trying to rationalize a way out of the truth. He knew his wife hadn't told him, but maybe, he thought, she had a good reason. He thought it was possible the other man was a cousin, or a colleague. Perhaps she was just having a normal, platonic lunch. Perhaps, he thought, it was last minute. A smile spread across his face at the rationalization. And then he caught sight of his phone. His smile faded as he realized something he had been trying to deny. He knew that Jane hadn't called him. Nor had she texted him. Either, he thought, she was extremely forgetful, or she had done it on purpose.

Okay, yeah, I see how that's weaker, but it's still decent. Is it?

Chuck Palahniuk wrote Fight Club. He also wrote a bunch of articles on a site called Litreactor. You need a membership to view them on the site, but one of them was about how you shouldn't write a character's thoughts.

He also wrote another one - it's currently free to view - about how to avoid verbs like "thought", "felt", "saw", and so on.

And Pillars is written like Ken Follett had a time machine, saw that essay, went back in time to the 80s, and decided to do the exact opposite for 860 pages. Almost everything in the book is "He thought", "She felt", "He knew," and so on. We rarely "look through the character's eyes", like my version that scene I wrote. It's almost always filtered and distant. Even for action scenes. What's wrong with that? A lot of historical books do that. A lot of books in general, actually. Including million-sellers. They're wrong too.

I'm including books I like, mind you. Like Michael Connelly, Rafael Sabatini, or the Cornwell's Sharpe series*. I've also read one of Cornwell's non-fiction histories, and it uses a very similar tone. Which is fine when you're taking a "God's-eye view" of a situation. It's not fine much when we're in close third person POV, looking over a character's shoulder. When we're supposed to be immersed in their viewpoint. This leads to a paradox; Follett's characters often become more interesting when they're not the viewpoint character, because it means you actually have to figure things out about them. Instead of just swallowing the spoon-feeding.

Follett makes a big mistake, over and over; he explains emotions. Like "Carol smiled at her friend's joke." or "Carol smiled due to her good mood." instead of just "Carol smiled." For Pete's sake, the man manages to make sex sound clinical. He reads like me, trying to write romance scenes, when I was 10. He takes the romance out of romance. You're still the minority opinion, you know. Yes, and? I'm not saying "Stop liking what I don't like!" I'm saying I personally have big issues with so much "telling" and so little "showing". Any other big issues? Since you asked, yes. There's bits of modern-ish slang. Is there anything you actually like? The overall setting and worldbuilding, despite Follett's best efforts. Did you didn't even finish the book? I gave up and read the Wikipedia page. Then you didn't give it a fair chance! I read two-thirds of it. I think that's pretty dang fair. * All of these are popular enough to get multiple TV and/or film adaptations.

I'd never heard of this movie before (a slight oddity for me when it comes to newer-ish movies with a somewhat recognizable star/starcast, though I guess it's become more common as of late), but I came across it on an airplane and figured "why not" (why I thought this, though, I have no idea - as Ben Affleck isn't exactly a "watch every movie of his" actor for me).

So I gave it a shot - and, well... yeah.

So, there are definitely moments where it has a very poor resemblance to Inception (I'm sure most people will think that with the train scene, at least), and it does get the brain juices flowing a bit here and there.

On the other hand, the exposition about the 'hypnotic' people just drags on a bit too long and, even worse, by the end, it just feels like a cheap knock-off of M:I - except that instead of using face masks, they just allow anything by virtue of "a hypnotic just made you see something that isn't what it really is" (referring mostly to that post-credits scene).

Like, the whole movie, they're like "you're too strong to be affected by hypnotics" and while sure, maybe they were lying, we see no reason to think otherwise. And then that ending scene happens, and they're just like "yeah, you were tricked and didn't even realize that your father figure wasn't himself" - and we have to buy it. Pretty much, it just gives them the ability to reverse any death, or any event at all, by just saying "you just saw what they wanted to you to see." It just ... undercuts everything, I feel. Like, sure, you want to set up a sequel, but like - was that really necessary here? Let them have that ending and don't just undo everything you just told us and showed us.

Not a fan of the Inception knock-off bit, really at all.

The Groundhog Day knock-off, though, was pretty well done. Once he resets, though we kinda get the idea that maybe he hasn't really, things are a bit interesting - mostly because we're pretty sure he hasn't fully reset so we're just waiting to see when he's going to break free and do his thing. And that's pretty fun.

Until they give us the 'final' twist (in the actual movie run-time). While clearly done to make this a movie that argues for family, it sort of again just undercuts everything by essentially saying "everything you've seen thus far is a lie." Also, I really don't like the whole trope of "good, but doesn't know it so is bad" (or whatever you want to call it) where she flips from good to bad to good at a breakneck speed that is fitting for Deepika Padukone in Race 2. Or Pathaan. Like, no. I know you want twists in a movie, but just flip-flopping someone as good or bad multiple times really shouldn't be your go-to move.

Also, and I get that they're at some sort of place that has aggregated all these 'hypnotic' folks, but like, you can't claim it is rare and then just give us a slice of life view where everyone can do it. No point in making it rare then.

I guess I didn't mind the story, until the end, so much as I just think the premise, while holding promise, just wasn't super-well done. Maybe it would've been better as a book or TV show, where they'd have more time to delve into the background - and, also, to make this more about the ethics and psychology and what-not as opposed to some run-of-the-mill action flick (which is the issue with a lot of movies that take a super deep, interesting world and trash it to just focus on action - see: The Island, Ghost in the Shell, etc.).

Because both RLM and James and Maso did videos this week about RoboCop 2 (because someone is doing a new show about him or something? I don't care), I realized I had never actually seen any of the sequels. But they're free on Tubi (and perhaps elsewhere), so I watched RoboCop 2.

I had always heard all the sequels were crap. And compared to the first one, which is decidedly too good for what it is, I can see why people say that. But I thought RoboCop 2 was pretty good.

It is certainly a retread of the first one, made with less love and nuance and attention to detail than the first one, by people who were literally just doing it because they were hired last-minute to do it. But it has a lot of good stuff in it, and its problems are minor.

I like the weird Dragnet-esque score. I like Willard Pugh as the over-confident, frantic buffoon mayor, who takes what is a kind of pointless subplot and makes it compelling. I like John Doolittle's Dr. Schenk, who it at 11 and about to pop the entire movie. I like the wacky comedy RoboCop 2 attempts who scream and then commit suicide. I like how the one they actually go with is a drug-fueled Metal Gear that acts like a poorly-trained attack dog and has a Lawnmower Man TV face for no good reason.

I like how his internal heads-up display is a MacOS UI, as compared to RoboCop's green phosphorus RoboDOS (because this certainly was 1990). Oh and the Phil Tippett stop-motion work is the best that ever got here, which is great. I almost forgot I was watching dolls fight in front of a green screen. Masterfully produced. The puppet they use for RoboCop after he is ripped apart is really good, too.

The attempts at satirical advertisements like in the first one are weak, and they probably shouldn't have bothered. OCP is so cartoonishly evil in this one (complete with a Nazi-esqe flag) that it beggars belief that no one really seems to care, especially after their incompetence gets like 40 cops massacred, in front of tons of TV cameras. Nancy Allen and Felton Perry, who were so good in the first one, are basically given nothing to do here. Even RoboCop himself seems to disappear for a third of the movie to make way for some "crime does not pay" child drug lord parable that is too goofy to mean anything. They also set up a character arc for Murphy where he is wresting with who he is by way of his lingering attachment to his ex-wife, but then that just...stops.

Instead, there is a sequence where OCP turns him into WOKEboCop, where they program him to talk to kids about good nutrition instead of gunning down poor people by the hundreds! And the kids make fun of him! Take THAT, Gary Hart!

...Yeah, I'm not giving that any more thought than the people who put it in the movie didn't in 1990. It makes no sense as a metaphor for anything in this plot as it is, and is literally just a thing that happens to RoboCop that he fixes by electrocuting himself. The only message this movie seems to have is maybe "hey, evil corporations and corrupt governments and drug gangs are all the same, man," and slow down with that mind-blowing revelation, 17 year old smoking pot for the first time!

Plus what is the proposed solution to this? Letting a cyborg police man shoot absolutely everyone? RoboCop is more the victim here than the hero. That's sort of the point.

I still liked it. It is more Peter Weller as RoboCop doing RoboCop stuff, and that's what it set out to be. Solid B.

Not sure I am looking forward to the next one, where it isn't Peter Weller and it apparently turns into a kids' movie where RoboCop gets a rocket pack accessory. Weird that RoboCop 2, where a child drug lord dies under a mountain of cash while holding RoboCop's hand, is the sequel that showed restraint.

(Edit: I watched the two linked videos after I wrote this. Of course we all have similar observations so it looks like I just stole talking points from videos that came out last week. I thought for sure I'd be the only one to mention the MacOS thing...dammit, Colin.

On the plus side I am exactly as observant as YouTube talking heads of a similar age and cultural background. WHAT ARE THE CHANCES?!)

Gender: Male.

Personality: On screen as my reviewer persona I am brash, aggressive, and in your face but outside of my persona I am very much just a nice everyday person, it's just i've got limits on what I can and can't allow.

Likes: Reviewing good media that is requested to me by friends including movies, comics, characters, etc, doing comedy skits with my friends, helping my friends, slaying the forces of evil, watching SNL.

Dislikes: Bad movies, bad remakes, bad adaptations of tv shows, bad sequels or prequels, bad fanfiction, having to do reviews of anything involving that certain annoying bird (I keep insisting I don't want to do them but my producers are assholes and they keep making me do it, I want them to get fired but I apparently can't fire them because they know what gets good views, they know my viewers love the rants and outbursts, they want to see me inflict pain on these terrible pieces of media, they are sadistic, yes.. but trust me, it's a good thing I don't drink because given how many times i've reviewed Ciel's shit already I would have likely died from alcohol poisoning by now), people who say I do nothing but complain…look, it's their fault they cannot handle criticism, even if they think they are above criticism they still have the need to try and act like i'm in the wrong for having a different opinion, people these days are just so oversensitive, like I could say that I hate Forrest Gump and I guarantee one person on twitter is likely going to be 'please block this man, he hates forrest gump, he is a Tom Hanksophobe.'

Biggest pet peeve: Yeah i'm sorry but I cannot stand people who think I complain too much, like dude i'm a reviewer, it's my job to critique things and yeah I cannot stand certain things like forced mind control, when suiting is used in a transformation and doesn't go anywhere apart from trapping someone in a suit (putting on a suit made to look like a Pokemon and transforming because of it only for nothing to happen isn't a tf, it's a dude in a costume, not a real tf, it doesn't count, that is just a human in a kigurumi/onesie that looks like a Pokemon that transforms him and that's it, it's just lazy if you ask me, look can't anyone just make a monster that DOESN'T use suiting as a method? I am just asking…why couldn't it just have been a symbiote or something?), anything with diapers, fat characters being made the butt of the joke, etc and well if you don't like my opinions maybe you shouldn't be complaining, Nathan does the positive reviews, I do the negative stuff and for a good reason. Because that's what Nathan's lists are for. I have positive opinions too, you know, and I DO contribute, thank you very much, by getting rid of the trash of this universe. I am the trash-man, I pick up the trash that gets thrown around here and throw it out all over and then pick it up again, then I start eating the garbage, then I bash someone over the head.

[lovelycleon]

So I decided to make an analysis about the last scene of Infinite Darkness

But before I start with the fun part, I just want to tell you that my history with “angst ships”

I had a bad experience with another ship, soul mates full of angst tropes and true love, beautiful... and a really bad ending because the showrunner fought with the actors (I wasted years watching and I regret it).

Anyway, after suffering that kind of pain, no other ships and angst scenes can hit me hard enough. I'm numb or just got used to it. You choose.

So maybe the scene of Leon and Claire's argument wasn't that impactful for me because of that. But for all the fans who felt hurt, I understand and it's okay to feel that way, because the scene was meant to hurt. The scene exists because of that. And your feelings are valid.

So let's get to the fun part.

spoiler alert, it's not that fun, it actually hurts 😅

The scene starts with Leon going to meet Claire at the gates of the White House.

I don't think anyone denies the fact that, whatever Leon is doing, he just wants to protect Claire. And he doesn't want her involved because of it.

But this dialogue makes this even more evident if we analyze how it begins.

Nothing in a show or movie is by accident. Everything is handpicked for one reason or another. The meaning is not always that deep, but there is still a meaning behind it all.

So when – of all the ways a conversation can be started – they decide to make Claire joke that she sneaked out of the hospital, Leon takes it seriously and she has to clarify that it's a joke, there's a reason:

Show that Leon is taking what happened to her too serious, and Claire not that much.

When Claire makes a comment about when he's going to stop treating her like a kid and he says probably never. There's a reason:

Show that Leon wants to protect her (or being overprotective) and Claire doesn't like it.

Of course, some might argue that this specific line is capcom trying to show that their feelings aren't romantic and sink the ship completely. And, ok, people are free to think that.

But if they really wanted to sink cleon forever, they shouldn't have done the scene of Leon saving Claire the way they did. They did it because they knew it would tease a certain part of the fans... They knew exactly what they were doing...

And there's simply no reason to tease a ship you want to sink.

So no, I don't think that's it...

For me the scene means the classic and simple: "stop being worried about me🙄" "noooo🗣️"

Another way to intensify Leon being overprotective is Claire's broken arm. A reminder that she was injured following his plan. Just as she was hurt the last time they saw each other in Harvardville.

And yes, I know Degeneration made Claire hurt to take her out of the action. It is undeniable. But somehow I don't think the same situation and reason applies to Infinite darkness.

Because Claire was already out of combat, following Leon's plan and showing no intention of doing anything different. It's not like she's going to attack the monster that is several platforms higher than where she is. She couldn't fly around and there were no guns where she was anyway.

So why hurt her to get her out of combat if the story itself has already done that?

Again, you are free to think differently. Capcom made Claire dirty, she was underestimated and they wasted her potential. I won't argue with that, I'm also on the team Claire deserves better.

I just don't think it fits this specific situation.

The injured arm is there and a awkward conversation about Leon being overprotective starts because of it. I think it makes sense.

So moving on.

Claire mentions the chip and Leon looks disappointed for a moment and says he thought they were going to dinner.

This is to indicate that he didn't come to see her with the intention of breaking their friendship. Leon just wanted to spend a good time with her and nothing more. Some place a little more normal, maybe?👀

But Claire wants the chip and tells Leon her plan. The same plan that Shen May was killed trying to convince her partner to follow. Is there a parallel here?

The only difference is that Jason broke her neck while Leon decided to break Claire's heart.

Okay now I could show more parallels between them, but I won't because this is already too long and I know maybe I'm reading too much into this. Resident Evil isn't that deep most of the time 😂

Anyway, Claire asked for the chip and Leon said no.

And that's the point, right.

The climax of the conversation and the turning point in their relationship.

Note that Leon took a few seconds to say he couldn't. That was the moment when he made his decision...

He went to meet her for dinner, remember? He didn't expect to have this conversation or make a decision like that. But he had to.

Now, I'm not from the US and I don't trust politicians in general, fiction or not. But I admit this sounds realistic.

Just imagine if the president makes a speech about peace and prosperity and whatever and the next day the media reveals that members of the government are involved in BOW and planning an attack on another country.

At the very least, it won't look good.

In the worst case, it will be a catastrophe 😂

So... I don't agree with Leon, but I understand why he chose this.

It's an important decision, however. And how long it takes him to say something and how he's quiet after saying it shows he knows what's on the line. Not just the security of the country and “peace”, but also his relationship with Claire.

And despite everything... He didn't lie to her.

It would be much easier for Leon to simply say "the chip was destroyed in the fight" when she asked. Claire would never know about it and probably never doubt him. And they would still be fine with each other and having dinner.

But he didn't lie. Why?

Because their relationship is not based on lies. And it's not based on betrayals.

And while it may be hard to believe right now and it hurts to think about it, this relationship is still based on truth and trust in each other. And now their relationship is being tested.

It's easy to trust someone you're on good terms. How hard it must be to trust someone who has let you down.

There is a lot of room for development here.

Obviously Claire felt hurt in this moment. Maybe even betrayed. Heartbroken. I think we all feel that same way.

But Leon played fair there. He said he had the chip, showed it to her, and then said he wouldn't give it to her.

He was honest with her. And this act also shows respect.

They are two people with different points of view and that truth hurts.

There is silence as they look at each other. She never asked his reasons and he obviously never told them. The exchange of glances is enough for them to understand what was happening.

When Claire says “you do things your way and I do mine” it's almost like “do you know what that means? ”

Then Leon nods and another moment of silence. The time they need to accept that the relationship is broken.

Now that's angst

Interesting choice of camera angle. Showing her broken arm as a visual reminder of why he was pushing her away like that.

Claire leaves, but looks back and says again that his outfit doesn't suit him.

What's interesting here is that the director has done a few interviews over the past few weeks and he always said that the suit is a representation of Leon's position in government.

Claire commenting that it doesn't suit him is basically the writers/producers/directors admitting that this position doesn't look good.

And while all the characters praising Leon for his success, Claire is the one who sees this reality and who he truly is out of the suit (position)

And that's good angst.

Claire walks away and Leon with a sad look watching her leave and he has to say to himself "I will stop this".

Could it be just one of his one-lines? Yes.

Could it be a way for him to remind himself why he's doing this, even if it means sacrificing his relationship with Claire?

It's already done, now he has to make it worth it.

Whatever happens after that is a mystery.

I don't think Claire believes that Leon is going to cover up the government's involvement in things (their discussion would be much more intense if that were the case), she probably thinks he's going to resolve it internally without taking anything public, which is precisely what she wants to do.

I also don't think Leon believes Claire is going to give up on the investigation, he probably thinks it's going to take some time to her to get real evidence and he has time to carry out his plans.

But this is capcom... They are masters of forgetting plot points. So who knows.

Angst is only good if it has a good closure. I hope they keep that in mind.

In any other tv show that used this kind of angst trope and drama I would be completely fine...

I would expect a sequel to this plot. The characters find each other unexpectedly, having to work together and acting awkwardly because they don't know how to stick around each other after the argument. Then the story would develop and they would gradually mend their relationship.

That's the trope.

So that's all I can hope for.

​a/n- it's 🍭, um the short you wrote for me made my mind explode so I had to write a sequel even if I've never wrote smut before >.< I hope this sounds ok

Warnings: NSFW, language, teasing, cunnilingus

Link to Kiriena's original- ><

_________

You didn't get much sleep last night. Your mind was racing due to your roommate, Jolyne, walking in on you masturbating. It doesn't help that you're completely with the girl, either. Jolyne is absolutely stunning, and trying to keep your eyes from wandering all over her is a difficult task when you share an apartment. You thought you had done a good job, but now she's seen you. What you don't know is if she saw that you squirted when she teased at you. That fucking grin.. you were hiding your privates as best as you could from her piercing stare, but what if she saw?

You sigh, and get out of bed. Maybe some breakfast and a walk can clear your head. "Hey [y/n], looks like you finally got out of your room." Of course she's still here, she lives here! You go to stammer out some excuse about not being able to sleep, and the girl laughs. "Come on, get yourself some breakfast and watch TV with me" she says, patting a spot next to her on the couch.

You start to relax into the cushions as time goes on, the show captivating your interest enough to let your fears stop for a bit. That is, until Jolyne speaks again. "Hey, as fun as this is, I cant pretend I didn't see your little display last night." You whimper, and feel the blood running to your face. "I-I'm sorry, I just, I didn't expect you t-to come in, I-I should've locked the door o-or something.." Jolyne grips your shoulder and you squeak. "Hey, hey [y/n], calm down. You know, I've been caught shlicking before myself!" Your eyes widen, and she chuckles at your reaction as a grin spreads across her face. "Though," she leans in closer to you and lowers her voice, "I didn't squirt when he talked to me." You whimper, blush going to your face and your sex, tears welling in your eyes from the utter shame you feel. You're too embarrassed to speak anymore, and you shrink under her gaze. "Don't act so sad, hun. It's pretty obvious you aren't too upset," she grins and pokes your chest. You didn't put on a bra, and your nipples were peeking out of your thin t-shirt. "It was cute, y'know. Seeing a display like that, all shaking and blushing, it gets me pretty turned on myself," she murmurs, too close to your face for you to think. "I got you off, so why don't you do me a favor and use that stammering mouth of yours to get me off?"

The girl doesn't wait for an answer, slipping off her shorts and panties with her hands and uses stone free to move you further down the couch, causing you to squeak again. The idea of even laying eyes on Jolyne's pussy destroys you, let alone sucking on it. You start to worry, you aren't experienced in these things and you don't want to disappoint her, but those thoughts quickly get cut off by Jolyne pulling your face closer to her slit. "Don't be shy hun, you weren't shy last night now were you?" You whimper, but obediently focus your eyes on her slit. You lick up from her entrance to her clit, enjoying the girl's taste on your tongue. The soft moan that left her lips made your face flush, not realizing it could get any more red. You press your lips against her sweet sex and stick your tongue into her entrance, being overwhelmed by her sweet nectar. 

You hear curses softly leave the girl's mouth as her legs wrap around your head, pushing you closer to her sex. You swap between lapping at the girl's insides and circling her clit with your tongue, hands gripping onto her soft yet toned thighs. "Fuuck~" she moans out, "I bet you were hoping I would've caught you, you slut. You shouldn't be enjoying this so much otherwise.." You whimper at her words, the vibration against her clit causing her to lightly hump into your face. You take your hand and move it up her thigh and around to her clit, rubbing your thumb on and around it as you focus digging her insides out with your tongue. You can feel Jolyne's insides tighten at this gesture, and you focus your energy at making this beautiful girl cum as her hips buck against your face. A loud curse leaves her lips and her legs squeeze you closer, suffocating you on her secretions as the girl reaches climax.

Jolyne waits a bit before releasing your head from her strong legs. "For a pervert who gets off at getting seen, you're surprisingly good at this. I'll have to get you to do this again soon," she says with a smile which widens as she watches a blush creep onto your face. You don't think your dignity will survive her.

Kirieshka’s note: oMFG this is SO GOOD why tf didn’t I see it earlier (sry my ask box is a pure mess). Meanie Jolyne, my lesbo souls is aching😭😳😩

Hello there! What are your thoughts on Good Omens (the TV show) getting a second season? I ask because I think you are a thoughtful, honest and incredibly imaginative person and would love to hear your opinion not just as a Good Omens fan, but also as the great storyteller that you are. Also, I don't know if anyone has asked you this before, but did you know Terry and Neil had been plotting a sequel to the first book all along? Or were you just as surprised as I was? Thank you, stay safe! x

Hello, anon! I'm sorry that I didn't notice this ask until today. It was buried among a handful of book draw entries. I hope you stay safe and healthy, too.

I knew that Neil and Terry had discussed a sequel off and on over the years, as did many people in the fandom, because both of them tended to talk about it from time to time at readings. However, it always sounded as if both of them had decided a sequel was just not on the cards, which was why, I think, that they didn't hesitate to repeatedly talk about some of the ideas they'd thrown around. I will note that none of what is in Season 1 of the show represents anything I remember them talking about. It's possible they talked about different details at different events, but the details I heard on several occasions at readings happened to be the same. I've seen Neil read about four or five times and Terry read twice, anyway, and those details they both tended to share never changed.

Terry's absence is primarily what makes me feel...not so positive about a second season. GO being one of those rare, stand-alone novels is one of the things that made it remarkable. Fans could imagine whatever they wished for post-canon events without too much fear of anyone saying, "But that can't be what happens after the book, because the sequel says X." I mean, we can still imagine whatever we wish, but any time you get official sequels to a story, the longer that series draws out, the more fans' ideas will be attacked by those (usually other fans) who point to extended canon as something that shouldn't be contradicted.

On a more personal note, I didn't enjoy Season 1 as much as I had hoped, which is a large part of the reason I've only watched it once. I'm not as much of a fan of Neil's work as I used to be, and even then I never enjoyed his solo work as much as I enjoyed GO as a collaboration. Therefore, any content that follows Season 1 likely going to make me feel even more of a disconnect than I already do.

I'm not sure that this is the academic sort of answer you might have wanted, and I'm not planning on engaging with anyone who might try to argue these points with me or call me a traitor to my fandom. I just didn't connect with the adaptation as it turned out; no official sequel/second season is ever going to sway me from what I've imagined and written in a fan capacity. I've spent half my life (literally, as I just turned 40 a few days ago) with the original canon story and the stories that I told thereafter. As the demands of my career increase, I don't have enough time or desire to engage with content from outside the fandom.

I think I'm actively changing my opinions on art with every new fucking homogenous franchise piece or needless sequel that comes out. I have spent almost 3 decades being like 'high art is bullshit it's nothing art is entertainment art is what speaks to you and there's no reason that shouldn't be mainstream or lowbrow or commercial. there's no meaningful definition of art that excludes commercial product'

but actually no there is a difference between product and art. Jesus Christ sometimes I just want to watch a piece of media that makes me FEEL THINGS that aren't 'i understood that reference' or 'this is the Sad Music bit'

when I went to see Moonlight I cried like a fucking baby in the cinema for 3/4 of the film. just sitting in the front row utterly unaware of anything else happening around me silently sobbing with my whole face dripping. it was cathartic it reached something.

oh fuckin. Tuca and Bertie. that show changed me. I didn't cry but I felt transcendentally connected to what it was saying and how it said it and it literally helped me put things in place and understand myself.

and to be clear I still think """"""low art"""""" is some of the best way to hit this. even franchises. both birds of prey and doom patrol have had a lasting emotional impact. but those seem to be so few and far between and anything that does land, that really gets to something more real than hitting the Marketable Beats and becomes popular off the back of that, gets absorbed into the template and replicated and sequeled and assimilated into the Megagenre. and however hard you try to cling to the emotional connection you made with it every new tidied up and mainstreamed version of the same fucking themes you see rattled out makes it harder to rebuild that connection.

and fandom doesn't help. fandom's always been a sort of monogenre. and fandom is so at the heart of how things are marketed. it's no different than the tie-in toy boom of the 80s and 90s. so much of film and TV just now aren't made to speak to you they're made to sell to you. just where in the 80s it was about selling merchandise, in the 2020s it's about selling fandom (where you'll buy merch but you'll also spread the word and bring people in). things are tailored to be just emotive enough and topical enough to give you fuel for angst and long conversations about how Deep it is, but vague enough and generic enough to make it an easy sandbox to play in. and nothing's ever fully resolved bc sequels but it's also never intentionally left ambiguous, it's always a sequel hook never an ending to stew on. and we've got so used to this being what media is meant to do that it's really easy to fall into the habit of treating every piece as if it's doing that even if it's trying not to.

idk I just. I hate it man I want to see films that make me feel things not just react to them. and it's always going to be a minority of media that really lands but it feels more and more not just like it's getting crowded out but also like whenever something that speaks to me does pop up it gets so genericised and overexposed and replicated that it retroactively gets worse. and that sucks I think.

#i don't want to watch Art Films!!!!! #i want to watch entertainment that is art!!!!!!! #and let it stand on its own with the power of what it's created!!!!!!! #instead of having to sustaina fucking franchise it infinite seasons if it does well!!!!!! #finishing a story isn't a failure!!!! takinga different approach isn't an indication that That's How Everyone Should Do This Now!!!! #i just want people to fuck around and make something honest!!!!!!!!! #red said

Duke Reviews Xtra: Maleficent

Hello, I'm Andrew Leduc And Welcome To Duke Reviews Xtra Where We Continue Our Look At Disney...

And Last Sunday On Duke Reviews, I Reviewed Walt Disney's 16th Animated Classic, Sleeping Beauty So, Today On Duke Reviews Xtra We'll Be Looking At The Remake/Retelling Of Sleeping Beauty, Maleficent...

No Synopsis Today, Let's Dive Into Maleficent...

Long Ago In A Faraway Kingdom Where There Were 2 Kingdoms One Ruled By The Ruthless King Henry And The Other Simply Called The Moors, Ruled By No One But Guarded By A Fairy Named Maleficent...

But Our Story Actually Starts One Day As The 3 Good Fairies Named Fittle (Played By Lesley Manville), Thistlewit (Played By Juno Temple), And Knotgrass (Played By Delores Umbridge) (Who Are Nothing Like Flora, Fauna And Merriweather And Are Basically Complete Idiots) Tell Maleficent About A Human Who Stole A Jewel From The Pool Of Jewels...

I Guess...

With 2 Boarder Guards Cornering The Boy, Maleficent Tells Him To Hand Over The Jewel Which He Does Reluctantly. After Tossing The Jewel Back To Where It Came, Maleficent Takes The Boy Named Stefan To The Boarder Of The Moors...

Once There, Stefan Tells Maleficent That Someday He'll Live In The King's Castle, Before Telling Her That He's An Orphan Like Her, So Despite Being Forbidden To See Each Other Again, They Form A Friendship Which Over The Years Blossoms Into Love...

But Ambition Takes Us To Places That Some Cannot Go, And It Was That Ambition To Live In The Palace That Pulled Stefan Away From Maleficent...

That And Threatening Attacks On The Moors By King Henry Didn't Help Things...

Becoming Her Kingdom's Protector, Maleficent (Now Played By Angelina Jolie) Meets With King Henry And His Army At The Boarder Of The Moors...

(Start At 0:50)

Injured In The Fight, The King Lies On His Deathbed, Proclaiming That Anyone Who Can Avenge Him By Killing Maleficent Will Become The New King And Marry His Daughter. Overhearing This, Stefan (Played By Howling Mad Murdock) Journeys To The Moors To Find Maleficent..

Forgiving Stefan For His Folly And Ambition, They Spend The Night Together Like They Used To But When Stefan Tricks Her Into Drinking A Tainted Drink That Makes Her Fall Asleep, Stefan Attempts To Kill Her But Hesitating, Stefan Instead Decides To Burn Maleficent's Wings Off With Iron (Which Is Basically The Moors Equivalent Of Kryptonite)...

Presenting Maleficent's Wings To The King, He Decides Then That Stefan Will Be The New Ruler Of The Land As Maleficent Wakes In Agony...

I Realize That This Is Supposed To Be Pain We're Looking At But To Me It Looks More Like An Allegory For Rape...

And You All Know How I Feel About Rape And Sexual Abuse In Movies, It's Icky And Shouldn't Be Done. For More See My Duke Reviews Tv Episode On Episode 9 Of Season 1 On Mighty Morphin Power Rangers...

Creating A Staff To Help Her Walk, Maleficent Journeys To An Abandoned Castle Where She Hides In The Shadows, Broken And Alone...

A Few Days Later, Maleficent Comes Across A Farmer Who Has Captured A Raven, Taking Pity On Said Bird, She Turns It Into A Man. Introducing Himself As Diaval, He Offers To Be Her Humble Servant Which Leads Maleficent To Send Him On His First Task To Find Stefan...

Flying To The Castle, Diaval Witnesses Stefan Being Crowned King With The King's Daughter As His Queen. Informing Maleficent About This, She Becomes Enraged And Returns To The Moors With Dark Clouds Looming Across The Forest....

Building A Throne, Maleficent Becomes The New Evil Queen Of The Moors...

A Few Years Later, The Queen Gives Birth To A Daughter Named Aurora And A Royal Christening Takes Place With Knotgrass, Thistlewit And Fittle Endowing The Princess With Magical Gifts...

But Before Thistlewit Can Give Hers, Maleficent Shows Up...

And Yeah I've Heard People Complain About How The Fairies Didn't Give Her The True Love's Kiss Spellbreaker And How Maleficent Doing It Just Makes Her Curse More Complicated But To Those People I Ask...

Building A Wall Of Thorns Around The Moors (Don't Worry, Stefan Will Pay For It) Stefan Ends Up Shutting Himself Behind The Walls Of His Castle While His Soliders Attempt To Hunt Down Maleficent...

Burning All The Spinning Wheels And Locking The Ashes Into The Dungeon Of The Castle, Stefan Has The 3 Fairies Take Aurora Into Hiding To A Cottage In The Woods...

Even Though They Have No Sign Of Competence Or Any Signs That They Know How To Take Care Of A Baby...

In Fact, Over The Years, It's Maleficent That Raises The Kid More Than Them As They Spend Most Of Their Time Arguing And Bickering With Each Other...

Yeah, She Finds Them But Who Cares Either Way These Scenes Are Funny...

Becoming Extremely Darkened And Consumed By Paranoia And Vengence, Stefan Obsesses Over Hunting Maleficent Down By Having His Blacksmiths Create Suits Of Iron While The Queen Grows Gravely Ill And Dies...

Showing No Remorse Over His Wife's Death, Stefan Continues His Obsession With Maleficent...

Now 15, Aurora (Now Played By Elle Fanning) Finally Meets Maleficent, Believing Her To Be Her Fairy Godmother As She Remembers Being Watched By Her All Her Life...

This Leads Maleficent To Allow Aurora To Spend More Time In The Moors With Her, Forming The 2 To Develop A Mother-Daughter Like Relationship To The Point That Maleficent Attempts To Remove The Curse...

But She Is Unfortunately Unable To As No Power On Earth Can Do It But True Love's Kiss.....

The Next Day, Aurora Tells Maleficent That She Wishes To Stay In The Moors With Her Which She Happily Accepts. However, As Aurora Returns Home, She Meets Prince Phillip And It Is Love At First Sight...

With Diaval Seeing Phillip As The Key To Breaking Aurora's Curse, Maleficent Disagrees Believing There To Be No Such Thing As True Love's Kiss...

With The Fairies Revealing The Truth To Aurora When She Returns Home, She Tells Maleficent That She Knows Everything And That She Hates Her Before Furiously Returning Home To Her Father...

Despite Being Happy To See Aurora, Stefan Is Furious Because The Fairies Were Supposed To Bring Her Back The Day After Her Birthday. Telling The Guards To Lock Her In Her Room, Stefan Continues Preparing For Maleficent's Arrival...

Feeling Ashamed, Maleficent Takes A Chance On True Love's Kiss And Searches For Phillip While Her Curse Is Enacted As The Sun Sets...

Finding Phillip, Maleficent Races For The Castle But Arrives Too Late As Aurora Falls Into A Death Like Slumber When She Pricks Her Finger On A Spinning Wheel...

Sneaking Into The Castle With Diaval And Phillip, Maleficent Watches As Phillip Kisses Aurora But Sadly It Doesn't Work...

So Maleficent Looks Upon Aurora, Realizing That While She Was Lost In Her Need For Revenge, She Forgot About Love And Happiness, Till She Met Her

This Leads To Her Kissing Aurora And It Wakes Her Up...

Attempting To Flee With Both Aurora And Phillip, Maleficent Falls Into A Iron Net Trap, Set By Stefan...

(Start At 0:16)

With Peace Made Between The 2 Lands, Maleficent Brings Down Her Wall...

As She Passes Her Crown To Aurora, Making Her Queen Of Both Worlds, Forever Unifying Them As Phillip Looks On...

And That's Maleficent And It's Ok...

I Admit It's Not The Best Of The Disney Live Action Remakes But The Visual Effects And Angelina Jolie Is Pretty Good As Maleficent But Some Of The Acting Isn't That Great, The Fairies Are Idiots And I Don't Really Picture Elle Fanning As Aurora...

Don't Get Me Wrong, Elle Fanning Is Very Cute But Beautiful And Attractive She's Not...

The Animated Sleeping Beauty Was Very Beautiful And Attractive To The Point A Man Would Have To Be Nuts Not To Be Attracted To Her And Lips Red As The Rose Where Elle's Aurora Is.... Something...

So, Yeah She Doesn't Really Look The Part, You Know Who Does Look The Part, Brie Larson, She Looks Like She Could Definatly Play Aurora In A Sleeping Beauty Movie As She Looks Like Aurora To A T. From The Beauty To Shame To The Blonde Hair, She Is Absolutely Perfect...

If Maleficent 3 Is Ever In The Works (Which I Doubt It Ever Will) Recast Elle Fanning And Cast Her As An Older Aurora...

But Aside From That Problem I Definitely Say See It...

Tune In Tomorrow As We Look At The Sequel, Maleficent: Mistress Of Evil, Till Then, This Is Duke, Signing Off...
