satoru sitting between your legs as you watch some film that you have seen before and know by heart with a vibrating dildo up his hole that you lazily thrust it into him as you watch. you spend most of your time ignoring him and explaining what's happening on screen as he's trembling and squirming in your arms.

the most acknowledgement satoru gets is you wrapping an arm around his middle to get him to stop thrashing about.

even better! his mouth his duck taped. his whimpers muffled and his whines sound even more pathetic. but it's worth it so he doesn't talk throughout the film.

#oddly im not that into gags #but duck tape on the other hand.... #there's something so satisfying about ripping it off someone's mouth and watching them flinch #ughhhhhhhh #꒰ ✧ ꒱ — gojo satoru thirst #sub gojo satoru #sub gojo x reader

The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes Spoilers

Lucy Gray Baird wins her hunger games because Snow snuck her rat poison and messed with the snakes’ senses. Haymitch wins his hunger games by using the arena border itself to his advantage. Katniss and Peeta win because of the nightlock drama causing a rule change of a rule change. I don’t know what I’m trying to say with this just that District 12 is such a breeding ground for rebellion. In a way they all refused to play the Capitol’s games

The fact that Main-verse Ooo is as good and as kind as it is (relative to the other universes shown so far, at least, it's obviously not perfect) all because of the same character that starts off as the OG series' antagonist, the person we were made to see as the bad guy (albeit an often ineffectual one) for several seasons, is making me lose my mind.

Imagine finding out the guy you spent your childhood beating up and saving princesses from is in fact a driving catalyst behind you being able to exist, and not only exist but also live in a world that knows what kindness is. All because that man, the same man who you've witnessed do terrible things, once met a little girl and taught her how to be good.

Simon's story really shows us that even if you lose your way and forget how it is to be good yourself, the world keeps the memory for you. That act of love Simon showed Marcy by protecting her and seeing her as more than the monster she thought herself to be created ripples upon ripples, small at first but eventually enough to help give their wreckage of a world—a world that easily could have been forsaken, its goodness overlooked because of its inhospitable remains—a chance to grow into something beautiful. Because of those very same ripples Simon created, the people of Ooo grew up in a world where they know enough about kindness that they were able and willing to spare the 'bad guy' some, to see beyond the wreckage and allow him to grow too.

In saving Marceline, Simon helped to not only to save the world, but also himself.

Am 2/6/17

Helping spirits...

(Working her way through the root prayer)

Still voice of the spirit... How do I hear you? How do I hear you?( Feels a breath, quietly) no, it’s something else (she sighs quietly)

(Sips tea )

God

Now, how am I going to go forward?

(Light laugh) now that I am connected, but at the same time It’s like you’re in everyone... You’re in Jakk

Like, that’s Jakk...

And you’re in Random... And Katie... And all of them. Is that your point?

Yes.

I’m a little confused as to what today is about.

I woke up feeling confused..i woke up with pain..and anxiety. Feeling like i needed to find a job. And that man.......is that a Blond man? (referring to a client)

Is that a Blond man?

He’s not, because....so you’re led by my mind. (she sighs)

Are you led by my mind?

(a shift into some mild desperation and doubt) (quietly to self) i need to stop.

I need to stop.

It’s not gonna fix this.

(silence)

(sobbing) Random

Random i need your help. I can’t figure out what’s going on. (starts actively crying) is this all real?!

I’ll get a big picture of you today, i promise. My stuff with katie is real

The stuff with the tree is real (crying louder) that dave guy who just emailed me.....was he one of Blond’s?

So she was doing things even before i emailed her mother. (transmission) *Really?*

(transmission) REALLY?

Jesus Christ! So she was, she was....fuck. Alright.

So the god creature wasn’t kidding when he said it was one of Blond’s.

Ok. i just got confused cause i thought, why would she start before i emailed her mother? (transmission) Got it. Cause she’s awful. Wow. wow.

Should i still leave a glass of water on the floor since i’m still gonna be doing spiritual baths? I’ll lie down for another 20 minutes, thank you random i’m a basket case today.

(she lies down for nap)

I know that that’s happening

Is the reason that you and jakk and i...do this, is it that we’ve done a bunch of past lives together?

(transmission)

So the way this works, is you tell the past lives to me, and i tell them to him. And then he can start to embody them. And the more lives that we start to realize......the more powerful we become? Cause those two lives by themselves are pretty...pretty intense..obviously. Cause one is holy and spiritual and one is artistic & beautiful.

And passionate.

Was he involved in the joan of arc one? I don’t know enough of joan of arc to figure that one out though.

(transmission) (surprised) yes i do? (transmission)

You love him. Ohhh. i love how you love him. It makes me so happy. It does. It’s beautiful. (transmission)

He never really learned how to...he never really learned how to love himself correctly. That’s why he was Mary Magdalene.

I mean doesn’t that make sense? I mean yes to an extent he loves sex, but would mary magdalene be a whore if she loved sex?

(transmission)

That i’ve loved him forever? Yeah.

(transmission)

Oh, you mean for lifetimes? (laughs) yeah, it feels that way. (end of tape)

God 2/7/17

If i have it correct….this is God. 

I’m curious why you’ve been coming to tell me. And as you know, i’ve been having a lot of doubt. 

Like, every morning i wake up, and it’s like  i have to rebuild. 

I have to rebuild my knowledge of who i am, and my connection to spirit, and if this with jakk is real. 

And how i’m going to make this all work, and finding a job…i feel like you just said “listen to Me”.

I feel like…i am. You want me to create magdalene today.

I’m hearing you say three pictures. And katie will help me write the text? 

Should she refer to mary magdalene? 

Ok. 

You want me to just call her Magdalene though. 

Do you want me to still be standing against the tree? 

Do you want me moving to the other side of the tree so i’m not seen from the courtyard. So i’m not on as much display. Ok. so i don’t need to have my feet in that exact place, is that what you’re saying. 

The important thing is that tree. 

Something happened with that tree …a day ago. Something happened with that tree…i’m getting a pain in the left side of my head. And it’s not the first time that that has happened lately. 

Do you know what that’s about? 

Is that my dad?

Ok not to jet all around but another question about making the ad for magdalene….should i still put williamsburg on it? 

I feel like….there might be…alot of …i feel like there’s not enough….let’s see..i feel like there’s not enough…i guess it’s under massage.(looking through the ads) there’s only 14 for williamsburg, i think it should say brooklyn to be safe. That’s the only way she’s not gonna find me. 

You know? 

If there’s only 14………(looking through ads) oh my god. Whoa. that’s nuts. 

It’s amazing. Alright, i’ll look at that later. I thought there were some classy…alright i can’t look at that right now. It’s depressing me. You want me to do it today though. 

There’s no one like me out there. 

(deliberates a long time) 

Ok, i’ll make one. After breakfast. 

So i need to make a picture of my hair…is that it? 

(Sees a picture of katie)

Look at this picture of this angel/ so bright. 

So is the reason that has been cyber stalking me and stuff,  it because she’s afraid that katie has told me about the text messages? 

Does she know that i know about the text messages? 

Is she afraid that i’m going to tell john? 

What is she gonna do when High Maintenance does a tv show on us?

Look at this beautiful child. 

I don’t care if he’s mad at me. It doesn’t matter. He shouldnt have said that…

(talks about her to do list)

Shakti’s like….do i need that sexual awakening for women? 

Are you serious? 

(long beat) 

I think my sexual awakening is happening on it’s own. 

(transmission) 

NO? Oh god. 

(end of tape)

Katie 2/07/17

What is that like, to not have a body? 

Do you have….do you have feelings? 

Do you have memories? 

(surprised) no?

Is that a no? 

No memories? 

But you remember me. 

I don’t know how it works. 

I have a belief system. My belief system is…you are here to show me ..to show me and jakk..our light. But now i’m tired so we’ll have to wait. 

It seems that you guide me at the tree, though. That seems real. Maybe i’m just tired now. I’ve been up since 7. Anyway. Let the world figure it out. We have to start early tomorrow. 

(end of tape)

New recording 89 Gina/CT March 2, 2017

I want to clarify… That… I want to clarify that that the reading that we did for what I originally thought was going to be for Blond but ended up being for jack… Is 100% accurate. OK. And you feel that all those dates are accurate, April 17 for the miscarriage, April 4 for him coming out of the shadow and coming into the light, you feel like dates are something you get clearly? And that is something you and I can do together. So you’re more than a tarot reader, you’re actually… Would you say you’re a clairvoyant? You’re a seer of dates I don’t know what that word is called. Like you could see for example the date of death for people?

Not that I want to ask this but I’m going to, is my brother going to commit suicide?

Is there anything I can do to change that? (Whispered tone) oh my God

tell him about ___ ____ ________.

Can you tell me when he is going to commit suicide?

Is it in… OK. March? April? Me? June? July? August? In August.

August 1…

So I need to tell him. Does my brother know that my dad sexually abused me?

If I tell him about…, Will it stop him from killing himself? I have to tell him. Fuck I have to tell him.

(Starts crying hysterically and breathing heavy) I don’t know how I’m going to tell him

I don’t know how. But I have to.

Why did you want me to talk to the temple priestess instead of the Tarot Reader? Should I put on a song to hear what you’re trying to say?

Why didn’t I get any sessions today? I needed a day off? But I need to make money that’s why I’m here. I can’t work in Brooklyn.

We don’t have much money, Gina.

I’m listening. (repeating what gina tells her) “Money will come. You’re doing enough doing the trees, doing the psychic sex, talking to Jakk , doing the Tarot, that’s why you’re here. The sessions that you’re supposed to do you’ll do, don’t worry. You’re doing what you’re supposed to be doing. You’re developing your discipline. You’re deepening your voice. You’re hearing better. You’re slowing your steps. You’re connecting to jack. You’re learning to listen. You’re deepening your roots. You’re seeing what works and what doesn’t.You’re finding your power. You’re finding your friends.

you’re deepening your connection to God. Stop with the doubt. Jack is here. He loves you. You’re his light. Stella is your light.

keep up with hotels. Book Boston, book one for next week. I’ll help you find it. But you have to tell your brother.”

What about finding where hospital Jack is?So you’re saying I have to go to Lori. Send her another Facebook message which I’m dreading doing. I’m totally dreading doing it. What day should I do that on? Saturday? Should I just say “ do you happen to know where jack is? I’m trying to find him”. Should I get in touch with his father instead? I think I’d rather get in touch with his father.

I think me staying away from Lori at this point is probably advisable. Since I know what’s coming.

Is it possible for any police action to be taken with the spells? How do I find out about that? I do not understand why the Tarot Reader did not see it! I still do not understand it. It does not make sense to me.

I’m gonna have you play me a song to say why the Tarot Reader didn’t see the spells.

(End tape)

#watch the tapes #3/2/17

[da-birb-writes-sometimes]

OMG I’m so excited for this!!! Can I request Vil with the prompt rainy nights?? Can it be fluffy and romantic? Anyway I hope you have a wonderful day!! :)

Rainy Nights; Vil Schoenheit

Content; Fluff, gender-neutral reader, established romantic relationship

Content Warning; Reader cries because of a movie, death (movie)

Word Count; 700+

Author's Note; I had a vision; watching old movies with Vil as the rain came down. I had a lot of fun writing this, and this is also my first solo Vil piece, so I hope I did him justice here.

As a reminder, do not put my work — or others for that matter — into AI as it steals. Link to Masterlist

You were rummaging around the TV console, going through the numerous DVDs and VHS tapes that were just sitting around and collecting dust. Tonight was your night for movie night, as yesterday was Vil’s, so you were weighing your options. Sure, there were streaming services, but there’s just something that hits differently with a physical copy, flaws and all. Plus it’s not like you could go out since it was raining like no tomorrow outside. So, movie night.

“Having any luck,” Vil gently called from the washroom, still doing his nightly routine.

Your eyes still scoured the various cases, trying to find the perfect one. “Not yet. Just give me a minute, m’kay?”

Vil gave you a hum as an answer, leaving you be.

Horror movie? No, he wouldn’t like that. Mystery? Too predictable… And then you found what looked like the most faded cases, colour worn away from age and a hand going back time and time again. That one.

Pulling it out, you dusted off the case, inspecting the title. Of the smudged-out words, you could make out The, some kind of smudged-out word, Blossom. It looked like a black-and-white movie, and on the front were the protagonists with their backs together, flower petals surrounding them, and a dagger above them. This, this is perfect.

Vil came out of the washroom, wearing his matching royal purple pyjamas and house robe, and glowing from the various skin products that he used. He looked curiously over your shoulder. “Hmm, The Bitter Blossom,” he mused, turning his gaze to you. “Is that your pick, Schatz?” His tone was light, a sign that he approved, and was mildly surprised at your pick.

“Mhm,” you hummed, placing the VHS tape into the VCR player. Whoever had played it last had saved you the trouble of rewinding it. “Have you watched it before?”

“Surprisingly, no. Copies of it are extremely hard to come by.” He got the sofa ready, adjusting the pillows, grabbing one of the many quilts, and a box of tissues, just in case. He noticed the look you were giving him, “I haven’t watched it, but I have heard about how it ends.”

You raised a brow, but shrugged. You pressed play and scrambled over to your spot next to Vil, getting comfy and pulling that handy quilt over the both of you — the rain had made it a little bit chilly.

The Bitter Blossom started playing. Not only was it in black-and-white, but it was also a silent film. The protagonists were two lovers who met by chance, their relationship going from cold strangers to a budding romance. 

But why had Vil grabbed the tissues? The movie was almost over, it couldn’t possibly—

But then the antagonist, a jealous ex of one of the main protagonists, stabbed the love interest in the back with a dagger. The movie ended with the protagonist hugging their love interest, flower blossoms falling down around them.

“Do not let the bitter blossom of hatred and vengeance bloom in your heart or mind, my love. Do not let it ruin the happiness which we fleetingly had.” The words flashed on the screen before the movie ended with the screen fading into black.

That, that was why Vil had grabbed the tissues. Wait, were you crying? That would explain why Vil was gently dabbing away the stray tears as they rolled down your face.

“A lovely film, love,” he whispered, “I should have warned you about the ending—”

You stopped him by grabbing softly at his hand, bringing it up to cup your face. “No, it’s alright. It was a beautiful movie,” you hiccuped, leaning into his touch. 

Vil caressed calming strokes on your cheek, the slow movements helping you focus on him. He placed a kiss on your forehead, a gentle hum escaping as the kiss lingered. “Oh potato,” your old nickname from when the two of you were still just only acquaintances, “what am I going to do with you?”

You grabbed a tissue and loudly blew your nose, “Cuddles?”

Vil sighed softly, but put his arm around you, resting his head against yours and placing a kiss to your temple. “Alright,” he hummed and continued humming a gentle tune until you were falling asleep. While he would prefer sleeping in bed, he supposed he could stand to cuddle with you on the sofa as the rain eased up outside.

Schatz; German for treasure, a common term of endearment
