Have those big ole thoughts about training Kylar properly. Maybe you don't wanna loose your virginity to him, or maybe you just enjoy preparing him properly for your first time together.

content warning. this was written for my VTM oc and realised that I can't just release that dumbass to the blog first, so instead it was changed to Kylar uwu. Kylar being nasty, frotting, sex toys, intercrural sex kinda, training mentions, lots of drooling and lube and fluids.

You didn't even mean to train him at first. It was all Kylar's fault. You two couldn't even kiss without his breath hitching and his cock hardening in his stained sweatpants. Jutting against you as his whined, hungrily mouthing at your bottom lip. Hell, you used to just let him hump himself to completion, but Kylar's eyes would prick with tears, both as how sore his cock would get but also being oh so close to you, your crotch being so warm against him beyond unbearable. Blow jobs were out too, since he had the same amount of self control as a glutton.

So, instead, one trip to Sirris' Sex Shop later, you have the solution to your problems. For him to cum and for you to train him before ever having to sleep with him.

Kylar likes to watch you prep the fleshlight. Parting the silicon to spit into the toy before pouring lube in, the clear liquid rising inside rapidly. Meanwhile, he watches, mouth agape just a bit. His cock juts against the fabric of his trousers, opaque liquid already seeping through the garment.

You kick off your trousers so they don't get stained and slip the toy between your thighs, tucked against your own crotch. Kylar used to whine at you to go without underwear when you two did this, but that discussion was long since dead now. Instead, he just tries to imagine it's all you, the tight, snug fit, the dripping mess over his dick. All. You.

He clambers on top of you, tugging his sweatpants down, tucking the band under his balls. His flushed dick stands to attention, dribbling just a bit as he nudges the head against the "lips" of the fleshlight. He's already sweating as he gazes at you, pupils blown wide, for your go ahead to sink into "your" hole. The little smile you give is more than enough and he gracelessly sinks down, lube pushing out as he pushes in, sticking to his thick pubic hair and balls.

Mouth agape, Kylar just gazes at you, dumb little expression as his cock throbbed uselessly inside the toy. God, he wants it to be you so badly. This is the least embarrassing way he's tried to simulate his cock in your warm hole. Tried the fuck a warmed up grapefruit once, before feeding it to you. Fucked a hole into his soap bar. Used to hump his pillow every night, ripped a shabby hole right into it. But somehow this was far more embarrassing. You, watching him, use a toy and obviously pretend its you, all the while you two are chest to chest, stomach to stomach, legs intertwined.

Kylar never had much composure to begin with, but any shreds of it are long gone by the first sloppy thrust. Drool gathering on his tongue, too entranced in the tight fit to even function properly, unable to swallow it down, so it just slips from his lips. The wet squelching of his cock bucking down into the toy, lube flowing out, was not helping, Kylar's lewd imagination kicking into overdrive. Reminds him of the hentai's he would put at full volume with his headphones, settle back and close his eyes and jerk his cock as he imagined you making those lewd noises, both your moans as well as your dripping hole taking his cock.

Yet the toy was just not enough. He came like a virgin whenever you used it on him, but his brain whispered that it would never be enough. Left every orgasm a bit less fulfilling each time. His cock ached as he continued to hump away, curling his body a bit to properly rut into it, almost like a clock wound too tight. His hot huffs of breath fanned over your face, sweat dripping down his face, into his hair and shining in the dim light.

"Please. Please, I want to... I wanna... Please?"

You just laughed softly and gently raised your thighs enough to mimic the feeling of the fleshlight fucking back into him. That was all he needed. Kylar whined and threw his head back, entire body jerking roughly as he came. Cum dribbled over the lips of the toy, seeping over the edges and staining your bare thighs, as well as his own.

Just babbles out his stream of consciousness, saying your hole is so good, that he loves you, that this was always meant to be, that he wants to fill you up up up until you are still dripping his cum days later.

You just stroke his head as he struggles to tug himself out of the toy, knowing that by the time you finally let him fuck you, he'll ruin you properly.

[bonetrousledbones]

question can you infodump about your Little Guys (atbb) to me because ive been following for like a year and i still dont totally understand them past papyrus au. they are really cool tho

oh my god ok so. first off atbb is the acronym for my ask blog @ask-the-bone-boys that's been on hiatus for a little over a year now. it was born in 2018 out of the annoyance of everything au-centered being sans and also a way to explore how the classic "aus get stuck in the original universe" fic trope would go if it was somebody from the "original" story leaving their universe instead. and also an excuse to make papyrus miserable to be fully honest

also also im going to preface this by saying i ship selfcest and there is some selfcest in this story ok if anybody has issue with that then uh. oopsies (i can explain the way i view it at another time if anybody;s interested but im already gonna ramble like hell here so not rn)

with that groundwork laid im gonna put this under a cut lmao dont click this

for the sake of organization- part 1: RUSS

STARTING AT THE BEGINNING so some very basic backstory for this Undertale Papyrus specifically is that he and his brother are twins, they grew up bouncing around several foster homes until they decided to run away to live in the woods on their 14th birthday, where they lived in a bigass tent for three years until Papyrus got badly injured and they had to get help from the townspeople, who uh kinda unofficially adopted them and thats how "they just showed up one day"

then more time passed and around 3 years after getting to the surface Papyrus was booted out of his universe by Mysterious Circumstances. he got a very bad introduction to the multiverse because the place he landed was my own version of horrortale, undermunch. there he meets Spooks!

i have a whole side-fic where you can read in better detail how this goes but basically monsters don't turn to dust in this world and also Spooks is a cannibal, which Papyrus doesn't know until he realizes he was fed spaghetti made out of a rabbit monster. IN addition to that, Spooks has very different magic from other aus, that being it's pretty much all concentrated into a kind of blue-magic-venom that comes out of his teeth like a snake.

Long story short Papyrus has to escape from Spooks somehow, and that's how he learns he's able to move through universes by himself. It still takes him a while to learn how to without being in a life-or-death situation, but that's ok because almost every other universe he goes to after that puts him into a life-or-death situation :>

and then FINALLY he gets spat out into a variation of Underswap, where he meets Honey. this one's a bit spoilery because i haven't finished writing this fic yet BUT its ok because this will be so so so disorganized. anyway so Papyrus is scared of Honey at first because he's been getting completely fucking obliterated by the multiverse (his leg is broken and he's wearing a chest plate he stole from a different papyrus who died in front of him) but Honey is relatively patient with him and lets him stay on his couch on the surface. This is where Papyrus gets the nickname Russ!

Russ is dealing with a broken leg when he shows up in this universe, so he stays with Honey for a little over three months while he recovers from that as well as (some of) the multiverse traumas he'd been collecting up to that point. The main things that he still can't shake are nightmares, trust/attachment issues, and EXTREME food paranoia. he refuses to eat anything he hasn't prepared himself, and even that can be a struggle. Also, because of how long he spent without getting it properly treated, his leg never fully heals.

He starts getting really really homesick the longer he stays in this universe. It builds up over his whole stay, but only starts to get Very Bad after he gets the cast off of his leg. Honey's home is extremely similar to his own home, and sometimes just seeing him and his brother interacting with each other makes Russ upset.

OH I FORGOT TO TALK ABOUT THE CODEPENDENCY ok so at some point Russ just starts completely clinging to Honey and Honey doesn't know what to do about it so he just kinda. unintentionally feeds into it and this turns into Russ sleeping in Honey's bed and blah blah blah eventually this becomes a problem for Honey because he doesn't know how to address Russ's homesickness and clinginess without hurting him somehow even though Honey is extremely stressed and actively burning out

Then Russ overhears Honey venting to Undyne and feels. crushed. And he reacts incredibly rationally! By avoiding Honey as much as possible! But it does not take him long at all to break down and the two finally have a chat about boundaries. They work out a plan together that Honey thinks will genuinely help and Russ thinks will get himself off of Honey's back. The plan is that they'll figure out how to control Russ's world-hopping ability and get him back home.

The idea is that if he's able to control when and how he leaves, he can control where he goes. Then, when he inevitably lands in his home, he'll pop back in Underswap and tell Honey how it went. Because he can control it! Of course!

Honey gives him one of his hoodies and a photo camera to remember him by. Russ tries to figure out what it was in the past that might have helped him jump universes, which was the desire to be just about anywhere other than where he was at that moment. So, he just, thought about going home instead!

And it worked! And he left Honey's universe! And then he realized he didn't land at his home at all! And when he tried to go back to Honey's universe, he went somewhere entirely different as well! And he never saw Honey again! Wahoo!

This is the point where he just becomes a complete mess I'm not gonna lie to you, he starts drinking even though he really really REALLY hates alcohol, he only eats enough to stay conscious, he gets into fights just for the adrenaline rush, and only stays in one universe long enough to confirm it's not his home before either leaving for the next one or collapsing somewhere and hoping he doesn't get attacked while he sleeps for two hours

then he lands in Edge's universe and this needs a part two now OOPS

[funkbun]

bro u can just make a website whenever u want

#thinking about how i want to share my Tales-Of-Snaktooth stories/writings #cause i dont think having a bunch of words under the Read More section of a tumblr post would be enjoyable to read #and i dont wanna use ay oh three cause im simply Not A Fan of the idea of posting my stuff there #then i remembered 'Oh yea neocities exists. i know the basics of making a website. i can just make a website and put my stories there. lawl #so that's what im gonna do! it seems a Lot more quick and easy to do (for me at least lol) #I'll start working on that once im done with my comms + my right arm stops trying to die

[kulemii]

one thing i can't stand about spending more time on here is that i worry more about being likeable. i worry that people will think im too harsh or bitchy whenever i decide to open my fat mouth about something. and after some time, it's like it's all i can think about.

i know i have bad takes some times- we all do to somebody. that's just part of there being 7+ billion mfs on the planet. i don't necessarily intend harm but i know i'll hurt someone eventually. but should i always keep my opinions to myself or police myself to avoid offending people like i used to when i first started this blog? (hell even then, that didn't keep people from not liking me lmao)

i know that no matter what i do, not everyone will like me. i know that. but when i spend more time here, im more concious of the people that can see what i say and how they might interpret it and i get anxious. i've had more fun since i started doing whatever i want here but i feel too, like i've been a bit of a menace to tumblr society 😭

idk. that's a big part of why i don't tag my rants when it's about specific things. i dont need a wide range of people seeing it. i just wanna get it all off my chest sometimes and then boom, move on. this place really is like a diary to me. but i worry that im not considerate enough of the people that can see it.. hmm :/ i guess that's why too i've heavily been considering moving blogs and if people still wanna follow me after that they can but ya know. i say all the time that i want people to unfollow me if i've become offputting, but i feel like people might feel awkward about it bc they hardly ever do.

im aware too that my current mental state has alot to do with why i'm even freaking out about this rn. bipolar 1 and ocd is such a bullshit combo bro i swear- i oughta give my brain a two piece for that

#maybe if i'm being mean or bitchy i'll start putting those rants under a read more or something and give a warning about what it is? #so it's like read at your own risk or something? #or maybe i should get in the habit of deleting things immediately after i get it off my chest? #or idk moving might just be the solution #i just ahhhhhhhhhh #all my stuff is here #all that aizawa stuff- it'll be gone foreverrrr :( #that's literally the only thing stopping me #i know no one cares about that but like that's my trash and i will treasure it forever 🥺 hahaha

[sysig]

It always seems like such a good idea in the moment (Patreon)

The first four are in reference to a great idea I had of - since I’ve finished my lower-limit page number testing for making books; shorter fics take up less page space, and just increasing the font size isn’t as handsome! - simply making a mini book! All it would take would be to halve the pages again, right? Just cut them right down the middle! Easy peasy!

As I’m sure you can tell by the second, no. Not easy peasy. Difficult painful un-fun >:(

Obviously I still did it tho! What do you take me for, someone who could have the idea of an even tinier book and then not do something about it?? No It’s also the only one so far to have a paper bookmark rather than a ribbon!

All told it’s a bit smaller than your average manga (I love the monochrome covers on these under their dust jackets haha <3) - you can see even with effectively doubling up the pages by halving their size, it was still very small-spined!

A quick shot while it was still being made hehe ♪ It’s Out! Paired here - and the earlier one, just without its dust jacket haha - with my Zarla SC2 collection (ft. Family, Negotiations are Going...Well, and With No Obligation) - I absolutely kicked myself after the fact for not including Out as the run-up to everything, I was really trying to make a full collection in probably-chronological order! Out would’ve been a perfect start! And it only would’ve taken like four pages!!

Ah well, it was still quite a learning experience - I probably wouldn’t make another standalone of under 4k-ish just for formatting reasons but I did get some good ideas of how to do so if I wanted to! Although, my next project is going to be even more of a formatting nightmare........I’ll get there when I get there! Lol

#Doodles #The impulsive thoughts are always the funnest! But then it's all a matter of actually putting them into reality... #Ahh well like I said under the cut it was a learning experience! And I really wanted a physical copy of Out haha ♪ #I don't think I've ever mentioned it - not even in my pre-fic notes :0 - but Out was another one of my inspirations for Drinking Game #I mean - the drinking lol obviously but I hadn't considered what VUX drinking would be like before reading it :) #I wanted to pair it with both physical copies hehe ♫ I'm happy I attempted it! And I have a better foundation to build on in the future! #I ended up using the scrap leftover from making such a small cover as the bookmark haha - and I picked the covers so they'd almost-match :) #They go together! But not quite! Just enough! #The sting of creation has worn off - it's actually been a while since I've made a quick book! - so the itch is starting to come back haha #Well - almost lol - the formatting is still........but I do want to do it! Especially now that I've got a hand-in-hand hobby to go with it #All that later ♪ For now snakes! #And also spiders I am also the same when spiders #I've been escorting a lot of spiders outside lately and pretty much all of them fall under the moniker of ''darling'' to me lol #Still no luck on finding a jumping spider :( But I also haven't got an enclosure set up yet either #There's this one booth that always has such adorable and pretty jumping spider enclosures ahhh I might have to break and get one someday #Same place where I got to hold the snake in fact! :D She was a love <3 Beautiful full-grown female cornsnake if memory serves #She was rather wiggly - she was tired and fussy and didn't feel like being handled by a stranger but she was so polite about it #A real delight to handle <3 And I got to see her babies! So cute and tiny! #The rest is more SCII fic stuff haha ♪ Rereading the Pirate fic was a lot of fun :) Intentionally avoiding Vargas fic(s) does make me a bit #Well I really like Vargas still lol it is candy to my brain so any gesture even remotely in that direction is very exciting haha #I'm perfectly happy with the rest for now tho! I have plenty of things to read and make! >:3c #Heck there's still a SCII fic I haven't read yet that I want to!!

shanks (maternal) lore drop be upon ye

Ancestors came from Hardrada, island of a violent group of sailors in the New World. Hardrada and Elbaf were very close allies and shared similar cultures in the days before the Void Century (The God Elbaf and the God Har are viewed as the same, simply under different names). Given how far they traveled, there are remnants of Hardrada along the Grand Line and in many of the Blues as many chose to settle elsewhere.

Shanks' comes from a long line of Priests & Priestesses who advised Hardrada's royalty: each had 10 followers beneath them

Prior to the start of the Void Century, Hardrada made contact with the Great Kingdom and the Priest at the time swore the serve those with the initial D. and, supposedly, in return, she was taught Conqueror's Haki by them

Fast forward to the Void Century; Hardrada's royalty refused to take part in the war and wished to side with that would become the World Government

The Priestess at the time, Velleda, was not happy with this and when she spoke out, was banished from the island,

Velleda never left the island and instead journeyed into the mountains and had the sword Gryphon forged (supposedly with a dragon's flame) and then slayed the dragon. Legend has it that Velleda's hair was not originally red, but that it turned that color after this, and many began calling her Akagami afterwards.

She returned and overthrew the royalty of Hardrada and named herself the new Chief. Given the island's heavy warrior culture, Hardrada eagerly joined in the war.

Following their defeat, the newly formed World Government took over Hardrada, and the Gorosei focused on flushing out those with Velleda's blood. Many fled to other islands in hopes of escaping the WG's wrath. Bounties were put out on those with Red Hair and they were hunted down and often scalped for their hair.

Elbaf sheltered many Hardradans during the hunt, including Shanks' ancestor, Folke, one of Velleda's descendant's and the current bearer of Gryphon. After ransacking Hardrada, the World Government began snooping around Elbaf, and the Giants offered to hide him, but Folke turned himself in so long as the WG agreed to his terms. He requested that they remove the bounties on those who remained and to let Hardradans and their descendants live in peace, promising himself and his descendants in return.

Seeing Velleda as the root problem of Hardrada, the WG agreed and escorted Folke and his family to the Holy Land where they were to be kept as a slave. Hardrada was left alone.

Impressed by Folke's power and abilities, the Five Elders began to feed lies and manipulate them. They were kept isolated from their people and culture and were bred with a person of choosing to keep their bloodline going. Gyphon was passed down the family line and, eventually, Folke's descendants were used as protectors of the Celestial Dragons and the Holy Land.

The Five Elders began to dispatch the Akagami on missions to hunt down the Devil Fruits to gift to Celestial Dragons and were often sent in search of notable fruits such as the Gomu Gomu no Mi, which continually slipped away. Gryphon became bloodthirsty for Devil Fruit users as the centuries passed and those with red hair were seen as vicious killers throughout the seas. Shanks' family moved from slaves to being a well-loved pet of the Celestial Dragons.

Shanks' mother, Astra, was well loved. The Celestial Dragons would take her places and dress her up to their liking. Portraits of her remain, hidden away from the Five Elders and Holy Knights. Though powerful, Astra's social skills were lacking, typically coming off as emotionless. During most of her young adult life, she fulfilled the roles expected of her.

 Astra learned of her familial connection to Hardrada for the first time after meeting Rocks D. Xebec. This news stunned her as she and her ancestors had been kept in the dark regarding their history for centuries. She feared questioning her role to the Gorosei and the Holy Knights and bit her tongue, but continued to learn more of her past by seeking out Xebec over the years.

Xebec told her how the Celestial Dragons had never cared for her. That she was being used for her abilities and they were punishing her for what her ancestors did. He applauded her ancestors for their actions against the WG and that Hardrada was once a great and powerful nation that had become weak. That she should be ruling Hardrada and that he would treat her well if he were in charge.

As Astra grew older, Figarland Garling requested her as his wife due to her strength and hoped to produce two children. An heir for her duties and an heir for his. The Five Elders agreed and the two were wed.

When she became pregnant, Astra fled, Xebec's words in her mind. She went to Hardrada, hoping her people would take her back and provide a safe haven to keep her from the Five Elders and Garling, but most shuttered their windows and closed their doors. Their current Chieftain refused her entry and demanded she return to the Holy Land. Distraught, Astra destroyed the capital city, killed their Chieftan, and fled elsewhere.

Though she managed to keep herself hidden, Garling eventually tracked her and Shanks down and brought him to the Holy Land.

(1095 spoilers ahead)

Garling brings Shanks with him during the Native Cleaning Festival at God Valley, where he plans to kill Astra. Though he does end up succeeding, Astra manages to sneak Shanks into a treasure chest during the chaos of Xebec's battle with Roger and Garp, in hopes of Xebec and his crew picking him up.

some scribs based on things i saw at kawaiikon 2023 last week, i had a lot of fun! (in which i use minato + my squidkid as stand-ins for myself)

bonus comic + some thoughts about the con under the cut!

gotta love when u think it’d be cool to cosplay but then completely forget to get anything for the cosplay (i forgot to go to look for yellow fabric for a ryoji scarf)!! so u just go as just some guy (my wardrobe has a few items that remind me of my faves).

ANYWAYS for the con itself, i had a lot of fun! something about it was very humanizing, just knowing that there were other people in hawaii who also like persona (and the other things that i am into). i got to pull out my beloved minato nui/plushie and share him with other people which was. fun!!

the cosplayers were super cool too! the femc cosplayer was super sweet and they had!! a p3 protag itabag and it was so ?? heartwarming and cool for me to see that?? and the akechi + kokichi cosplayers being in the same proximity was also very cool to me (idk i feel like they’re just both interesting characters).

and of course the artists were very lovely... i was very surprised 2 see so much persona 3 (thank you p3p for being put on modern consoles) there, haha. i paid the minato tax™ aka that’s what happens when your favorite character is like. the protag. i have so much beautiful minato art in my home now. i am so happy and normal about this. my heart is sold to him. he has such incomprehensible boy swag that transcends the universe. but anyway.

this is very rambly but um idk im just! grateful and appreciative! that other people are out there that enjoy media that i like especially since they were so scarce and far between (other fandoms showed up more frequently). would i go again? dunno, depends on what im into by the time next year rolls around. but i’m glad that i went this year, for sure 💙

#persona 3 #minato arisato #makoto yuki #hamuko arisato #minako arisato #mariko kusumi #how do i tag marie p4g when splatoon marie exists. help girlie #goro akechi #kokichi ouma #splatoon #splatoon oc #minatoast #lizzy does art #put the con reflections under the cut bc it was too long for tags for my liking but!! tl;dr i had fun i love knowing that other ppl- #have been captivated and touched by the same media that i have been affected by (yes i know i say this a lot but i just feel very strongly) #also working on this has reminded me of how much i love to draw minato. so hopefully i can draw more of him soon bc he sparks joy for me!! #had 2 get these kkon related arts out of my system b4 working on some other stuff! some of these are scuffed but it's w/e #sometimes i like to draw just so that i have an excuse to talk in the tags / keep reading. LMAO. but dont tell anyone i said that... lol/s

Tiding Over

I don't think you need to read in every lifetime, but this is set in the same, vague universe. Quick primer in case it's not clear in the fic itself: Shirayuki and Obi remember past lives.

Back before it was a cliche, Obi had once made Shirayuki an offer: if they were both still single by the time she was 30, he would marry her. She’d died at 29. Obi had never offered again. 

This wasn’t to say that he stopped trying. There was the time he’d brought her a box of sweets tied with a red ribbon - a local custom that signified an intent to court. Just to make her life easier, he’d promised. He’d known about her thing with Zen and had completely respected it. The courting gesture was there to keep everyone away. If they thought he was serious about marrying her, the other nosy townsfolk might stop setting her up with their sons and nephews. If there was a mild, tiny sliver of hope that she might some day settle for him, no one could prove it. She’d told him to not bother with that sort of thing again; she could handle the matchmaking herself. He should save his coins for girls he actually liked. 

With the distressing privilege of hindsight, he realizes there is something of a pattern here. He tentatively offers up the in vogue gesture of romantic interest for the era - a carved wooden spoon, sticky rice around two red chopsticks, camping (because the Puritans loved being miserable) - and watches as she gently dismisses them. Lather, rinse, repeat. 

The only thing stopping him from bringing it up to apologize and making them both face this thing he’s had for her for centuries is the fact that he’s fairly certain she has never realized the offerings for what they are. That’s not the type of person she is. She’s direct and kind; she wouldn’t leave him dangling because it’s easier than rejecting him outright, nor would she play dumb.

This theory is all but confirmed when he walks in on her being hit on by some frat bro. He misses what the boy originally asks, but he hears Shirayuki say, “Sure, I’ll see if anyone else is free,” as he slips into the lab she’s practically lived in all semester. Apparently he isn’t the only one attempting to lure her away from work. 

Her back is turned to Obi and the boy next to her is completely focused on her, so neither of them notice they’re no longer alone. Which means Obi has the distinct pleasure of hearing the boy say, “I thought it could just be us,” and hearing Shirayuki reply, “Why?” 

The boy must have caught some movement out of the corner of his eye because, instead of answering, he turned to face Obi. 

“Hey,” Obi says with a jaunty wave. “Who’s your new friend, Miss?” 

Shirayuki whips around like she’s excited to see him, notebook forgotten on the work station, and he knows for a fact now that it will never get old watching her look happy to see him. She calls out his name in greeting, and he thinks about how no one has ever said his name quite so well because he’s allowed to be pathetic in his own mind. 

The frat bro says, “Oh,” and then leaves with barely a goodbye. 

“Okay,” Shirayuki says, visibly confused by the abrupt turn of events. “Are we still on for Friday?” 

The boy walks faster. 

“Friday?” Obi asks once he’s gone. 

“He said he wanted to get dinner, but he just left while we were making plans.” 

Obi stifles a laugh and says, “A dinner he wanted to do alone while you wanted to make a group thing?” 

Despite the emphasis on the word alone, it still takes her a moment to connect the dots. Once she does, her eyes widen slightly before the confusion settles back in. Again, she asks, “Why?” 

“Yes, why would a boy not have a crush on a beautiful young woman?” 

“I’m not young.” 

“And yet, you don’t look a day over 900.” 

She gives him a stern look that is rendered essentially useless by the way the corners of her lips tick upward. Instead of giving her a chance to fight him on how at least a third of the school’s population is deeply in love with her at the moment, he tosses her an apple that she just barely manages to catch. 

“Come on,” he says. “I’m dragging you away for Yuzuri’s art show.” 

“She asked us not to come to that.” 

“Which is exactly why we’re going.” 

She holds out for about three seconds before she says, “If you’re sure she won’t mind.” 

“She’ll love it. Now, come on. If we hurry, we can grab something to eat before we go.” 

Shirayuki glances down at the apple she did not ask for and holds it out to him. 

“That’s all yours. To tide you over. You didn’t eat lunch, right?” 

Shirayuki’s stomach growls in answer. 

“Thanks,” she says before taking a bite. 

This time, he doesn’t doubt her obliviousness to his courting gesture. The apple is wildly outdated, was popular on a completely different continent, and his presentation is slightly different than tradition dictates, but that’s okay. She doesn’t have to get it. If she doesn’t realize what he’s doing, he can keep using the gestures as a sort of pressure release for himself. He gets to love her quietly. And that’s enough.

actually used r*ddit for the first time in a thousand years just to comfort a self proclaimed 'grown ass man' regarding his feelings about feeling lost and grieving over the death of RT.

I usually stay away from commenting on public forums and the like, but he was clearly confused and didn't understand why he was hurting and it was frustrating him. it genuinely makes me so sad that a lot of cis men deeply struggle with allowing themselves to feel sadness if it doesn't directly relate to someone close to them dying.

and so I kind of said as much. told him that just because RT wasn't a real human doesn't mean that the decades of comfort it brought him didn't matter. that the brain doesn't differentiate between the loss of a person vs. the loss of something intangible that was still incredibly important.

told him to give himself the grace to grieve and be sad that something he loved was ending and that he wasn't the only one feeling that way. and surprisingly he replied and said he really needed to hear that, as did a couple of other dudes. which made me glad I said something. it sucks that they feel like they need permission or a reason to feel hurt/grief tho

there's definitely a strangeness to feeling grief over the end of media. but if it impacted your life for the better, then of course you're going to feel sad and lost. especially from folks you've been watching the better part of two decades.

#[static] #putting it under a read more because im being long-winded about it #RT was a big part of my life in the 2010s and i met a lot of great people because of it #i stopped watching around 2019-2020 due to life stuff and the controversies going on #but then f**ckface showed up and it's been one of the few podcasts that i genuinely enjoy and make me feel safe and comfortable #the content they made became too much for me to keep up with so i stopped for the most part #but f**ckface was the best of it all and brought me back to the good old days :) its hard to describe but it just felt magical #anyways i think ppl should be allowed to grieve even if there was 'writing on the walls' or whatever #RT is not without its issues for sure but a lot of them grew as people in to genuine good folks and that's awesome #and even though i only partake in a very small part of RT nowadays i too will be very sad to see it go #im going to watch the livestream in an hour and keep an ear out for if folks end up working on new projects

I finally finished making the refs for all of my scarlet hollow mc's so here they are (+ some info about them and the choices I made during their playthroughs)

Wesley Scarlet:

(first off his ref looks different from the rest of them because it's the first one I made and I was too lazy to go back and make it match with the rest)

Wesley was basically the character that I made specifically so that I could chose the meaner dialogue choices- so naturally he isn't very nice to people (he's very blunt/low key an asshole to everyone (at least in the earlier episodes)) and he's a lawyer/works at a law firm

(he also did the thing where you can puke in front of everyone in the dinner so yeah-)

He saved Duke in the woods and went directly back to the estate instead of going to see Sybil with Stella, didn't tell Tabitha about the kids sneaking into the mines, was able to get all of the kids safely out of the mines before it collapsed, (didn't invite Tabitha or avery to hunt ghosts) was able to lawyer his way out of giving up years of his life to the ghost and in turn cleared oscar's house of the ghost, didn't have tea with Sybil, Reese was able to kill his mom (cause wesley didn't grab the tranquilizers), and he wasn't able to find Stella.

Andy Scarlet:

They're a teacher! They are also psychic- and they will literally just blurt out anything that comes to their mind because of their psychic-ness (has probably gotten in trouble for telling kids that they're going to get into a car accident or something like that)

They don't really know how to talk to other people that well so they mostly come off as weird (or even creepy) in most cases

They saved Duke and went to see Sybil with Stella before returning to the estate, got caught by Tabitha while talking to the miners, called Tabitha and waited outside for her when the kids snuck into the mines, all of the kids were safely taken from the mines before it collapsed, they hung out with Tabitha and invited her ghost hunting (they also invited Avery), wanted to give up years of their life to the ghost but tabitha stepped in and did it herself so that they wouldn't have to, they called tabitha when reese was going kill his mom and she shot him but Andy didn't let her kill him and they just locked him up, and they were able to find stella with the help of tabitha and was able to rekindle their relationship.

(also they have a crush on Avery)

Eleanor Scarlet:

This is Eleanor and she works as an art streamer! She's also basically a Disney princess cause she can talk to animals and everyone loves her-

Saves Gretchen and goes to see Sybil with Stella and stays the night at Stella's house, tells Tabitha about the kids sneaking into the mines but doesn't wait for her, the kids are all able to get out but Rosalina's foot is crushed, she invites Tabitha to go ghost hunting (along with Avery) but they leave without getting rid of the ghost, Eleanor is able to calm Reese down so he leaves without killing doctor kelly, and she is able to find Stella (with the help of the gang of dogs) and stays the night with her again (she romances Stella)

Raymond Scarlet:

He's still in college and is majoring in psychology- he also chooses violence most of the time-

He was able to save both duke and Gretchen, went to see Sybil with Stella and then went back to the estate, didn't tell Tabitha about the kids in the mine, rosalina lost her foot when the mine collapsed, he didn't invite Tabitha ghost hunting (but did invite Avery), didn't want to give up years of his life and the ghost remained in the house/library, had the talk with Sybil but didn't drink the tea, let Reese kill dr. Kelly, and found Stella with the help of Gretchen

(he also romanced kaneeka)
