Self Care Activities that Actually Help

My list of practical, achievable and useful self care tips that will actually improve your mood instead of enabling you to wallow.

Reply to your correspondence

Often if we feel low or our motivation is down, we find it tricky to respond to messages and calls from others. This allows unopened messages to pile up which creates stress and even panic. Instead of trying to ignore this problem, set a timer for 15 minutes. Then give yourself those 15 minutes to respond to as many of those messages as possible, starting with the most urgent messages first. If you cannot complete all the messages, take a minute to reevaluate. Can you give yourself another 15 minutes to finish the task today? If not, that’s fine. Assign the task for tomorrow, and repeat the process when you feel refreshed. If you are not able to give a thorough response to all of your contacts, I recommend drafting a universal message to send, stating that you are currently occupied and you hope to offer them a more appropriate message over the coming days. You can tailor this message to suit your needs and circumstances, and it reduces the amount of pressure on you to offer explanations for your absences.

Wash your clothes

Take the clothes you are wearing off. All of them. Strip your bed. Gather up any towels or tea cloths you can find. Wash them all. I cannot overstate the benefit of living in a clean environment, and wearing clean clothes. Even if you can’t wash everything, wash the essentials, and make sure you are wearing fresh clothes from head to toe. You can swap pyjamas out for more pyjamas, what you wear doesn’t matter. Just make sure they’re clean.

Water

Drink a pint of water with nothing added, no fruit, no cordial, nothing. Just drink a pint of water in one sitting. You are almost definitely dehydrated, just like everyone else. Hydration provides mental clarity, energy, and even relives stress. It reduces pains and aches in the body. It helps quell nausea and heartburn. Water is the quickest and easiest way to reduce physical pain or discomfort throughout the day. By keeping hydrated, you’re improving your quality of life almost instantly.

Stretch in bed or on the sofa

The last thing most of us want to do when we feel low or unmotivated is going for a run, or working out at the gym. Instead of pushing yourself to get a serious or intense workout in, try some stretches you can do from the comfort of your bed or sofa. Stretches will help relieve tension in the body and can increase your energy throughout the day. You don’t have to do anything crazy, just a couple of simple, effective stretches will do the trick.

Eat a “healthy” carb

People so often try to avoid eating carbs as they think carbohydrates are inherently unhealthy. This is simply not the case. While carbohydrates are often used in the production of unhealthy treats such as cakes, cookies and pies, they are not fundamentally bad for you. Carbs are our main source of energy, and if you’re feeling low energy is exactly what you need. Try eating a healthier alternative to those instant sugar rush carbs, such as rice, wholemeal pastas or breads, potatoes or oats. You can add other ingredients to these meals, such as berries to oats or some veg to pasta, to make a more filling meal. Everyone eats differently, but we all need carbohydrates in our diet to provide energy and nutrition, alongside other food groups. Creating a balanced diet is much more important than eating “healthy” all the time. Respect your body by fuelling it appropriately and regularly.

Clean yourself as best you can

Have a shower. Take your makeup off. Brush your hair. Clip your nails. Put deodorant on. Brush your teeth. Wash your hands. You might not have the energy for a full “everything shower” but you can probably do one of the things listed above to make yourself feel better about yourself and your hygiene. Don’t berate yourself if you’ve gone a while without practicing any of these for a while, life can be pretty difficult. Just accept your current situation and try to better it as best you can with the energy you now have.

Please reach out to a trusted person or a qualified professional if you feel you need extra support for any reason. You are not alone and you do not need to suffer in silence. Support is there.

Mwah, Chaoscharme

iFall for Harry pt. 5

Summary: Harry's got a proposition.

And you're not sure you're ready for it.

Word Count: 1.3k (SHE'S A BABY, I KNOW, BUT I GOTTA SET UP THE BIG STUFF)

(Previous parts to this series are down below at the end!)

So…what’s the appropriate, normal, non-creepy amount of time to wait after fucking your fist to the sound of somebody’s voice over the phone before texting them?

You grin to yourself when you see the text message slide down on your screen, your lip between your teeth as you click on his name.

Well, considering you could have a heart attack and keel over at any moment, I’d say the sooner the better.

How did I know you’d say that?

Cause I’m just so gosh darn charming.

Oh, is that what you are?

You seemed to think so when you were begging me to let you come.

…I wasn’t begging, I was just asking…really…nicely.

Whatever helps you sleep at night.

I sleep a lot better after that phone call.

Yeah?

Yeah. Except for the fact that I wake up hard as a fucking rock and leaking into my boxers, but…whatever.

Yum. I mean…yikes. Sounds painful.

Careful, Cheese Girl. Or I might just call you again.

And what would be so bad about that?

Well, for one, I quite literally don’t think there’s any fucking come left in my body.

…I don’t know if I needed to hear that.

Why? Have you fallen in love?

Oh, is that what this strange feeling in my chest is? Love? Huh, I thought it was heartburn.

Aww, are you saying your heart burns for me?

I’m saying you’re lucky your number isn’t blocked.

You’d never block me. You think about me too much.

Who says I think about you?

Do you?

You suck in a sharp breath, eyes glued to the screen as you contemplate a response.

You could lie to him. After all, he wouldn’t know the difference.

But…it would be a lie.

You do think about him. Far more than you care to admit.

The only problem…is that you don’t want to think about him.

After all, what would telling him even do? It’s not like anything could ever happen outside of the occasional phone sex.

You don’t even know the man.

But…what if you want to?

Yeah, I do. When it’s late at night and I can’t sleep.

A solid minute passes before he finally sends his response.

What did I just say? Are you trying to fucking kill me?

If you can survive a heart attack, you can survive this.

I would never survive you.

You’re not sure if this is meant to be a compliment or an insult…but your heart flutters, nonetheless.

Oops, sorry. Bad time? Are you in another meeting?

Nah. Out by the pool.

That sounds nice. It’s fucking freezing here.

And where is here...exactly? If you don’t mind my asking.

Again, you hesitate. He could be a catfish…or a stalker…or just a fucking creep.

Or maybe he’s just curious. Maybe he wants to get to know you. And it’s not like you’d be telling him your exact address. Just…maybe a vague description of where you are in the country.

I’m guessing Los Angeles from your area code.

And I only know that because I also have a Los Angeles area code.

Which you can probably tell, so I don’t know why I said it.

And now I’m rambling, and you aren’t responding, and I think I freaked you out.

As the texts continue to roll in, you have to smirk, slightly relieved by how adorably flustered he is.

You can almost hear each response in his voice.

That sexy fucking voice.

Easy, Gramps. I lived in Los Angeles for a few years, but I’m in New York now.

Ah, the Big Apple. Nice. I like New York, but you’re right, it’s fucking freezing.

Do you come a lot? To New York I mean.

Uh huh. Sure, you did. And yes. To both.

Very nice. Any particular reason?

Well, sometimes it’s because I'm remembering that phone call. But other times it’s because I’m dreaming about that phone call. Either way, I’m just always thinking about you.

Your stomach flips.

I meant any particular reason you come to New York so often, you twat.

Oh, right. Yeah, I do a lot of business there. Or business-related things.

I see.

Suddenly, the chat goes quiet. Far too quiet, and as the minutes begin to tick by…you feel a strange tingle begin to crawl its way up the back of your throat.

And then—

“…hello?”

“Hi.” Harry. His voice. Breathless and seemingly rattled. “Sorry. I just…I figured if I didn’t call, I’d never say it? And I wanted to hear your reaction instead of just staring at those goddamn bubbles until I shit myself.”

A little surprised, you stand up from your desk and begin to pace toward the kitchen. “No, it’s fine. Are you…okay?”

“I’m…no. Yes, no. I’m fine.”

“…yes, no?”

“Yes, I’m fine,” he repeats. “Sorry. I’m…shit. This isn’t going how I wanted it to.”

Your eyebrows raise.

“I…so, here’s the thing,” he tries again. “There’s a thing. And I know we…don’t know each other, so we don’t really do things…but there’s a thing. That maybe…could be a thing. Like, an us thing.”

“…Harry?”

“…yeah?”

“You’re rambling again.”

You hear him exhale a laugh before there’s a bit of noise and he clears his throat. “Sorry. Yeah, I’m…I do that. When I’m nervous.”

“I see. And why are you nervous?”

“’Cause of…the thing.”

“Ah.” You nod, despite the fact that he can’t see you. “Well…why don’t you tell me what this thing is.”

“Right.” More noise. “So…the thing. I’m…gonna be in New York this week.”

He goes quiet then, as if giving you time to process what he’s saying.

What he’s implying.

“Oh,” you breathe, the realization weighing heavy on your chest.

“Yeah.” Another beat. “Look, I don’t…I’m not expecting us to meet. I don’t…that’s weird, I know. But…fuck, honestly? All I keep thinking about…is asking you. And I know it’s fucking weird. I know that but I had to ask you. ’Cause it would drive me nuts if I didn’t.”

A long stretch of silence passes between you as your mind begins to work overtime to create any sort of response.

“You don’t have to give me an answer right now,” he adds after a moment, almost sounding embarrassed. “Or at all. I don’t…I really don’t expect anything, but…I’ll be in the city on Friday. And…if you do want to meet…I’ll be at Ellen’s Stardust Diner. At twelve. You could…I don’t know, peek in? See if I look…worth your time? I don’t know. I’m…shit, sorry. I thought this would go better.”

“No, I—” Your eyes squeeze shut. “I’ll…I’ll think about it.”

“Really?” He clears his throat again. “Fuck, sorry. I’m cool. Uh…really. Interesting. Okay, got it. Good to know.”

You smile to yourself as you lean against your kitchen island. “Oh yeah, you are so cool.”

“The coolest—hey, look, I’ve…I’ve gotta go,” he sighs, and for some reason, you feel your heart sink. “I know I keep doing that, and I swear I didn’t mean to drop this on you and then disappear, I’ve just…I’ve…”

“More meetings?” you guess, and you hear him take another breath.

“Yeah. S’always more fucking meetings, and more fucking shit I’m apparently doing wrong.”

Your expression softens. “I see. Well…good luck.”

“Thanks.” A beat. “So…you’ll think about it?”

“I’ll think about it.”

“’Cause you can tell me if I’m just too attractive for you to actually meet. I’ll believe you.”

“Oh, I’m sure you would.”

“Good,” he chuckles. “Okay, I really do have to go now.”

“Hey, I’m just waiting for you to hang up.”

“Honestly, it might be easier if you hang up first. I don’t really think I have the strength to hang up on you.”

There he fucking goes again.

You tug your lip between your teeth. “Bye, Harry.”

“Yeah…bye, Cheese Girl. Maybe see you Friday.”

You grin.

“Yeah. Maybe see you Friday.”

troubleshooting your chastity lifestyle - part 1/2

i will often get messages from followers about problems that they are having in their chastity relationship. lets start the new year by trying to fix some of these problems. instead of responding to everyone individually ill be spending the next few posts answering some of the common problems people are having.

many keyholders have expressed frustration that they aren’t quite getting the submission and/or the loving attentive and affection husband that is promised by chastity. or they are getting it for a little while and then it goes away. i’ve noticed some common mistakes that people are making…

1, avoid the “lock it and leave it” mistake. chastity is NOT something that can be passive! keyholders must play an active part in the game being played. the surest way to fail to achieve all the benefits of chastity is to just lock your partner up and ignore him. in fact, this will likely have the opposite effect causing frustration (the bad kind) and resentment.

you should be doing something every single day that engages him with reguard to his chastity. this can be fun exciting things that take time and effort or this can be as simple as a comment about his cage, a joke or a tease about it, grabbing his cage in the kitchen, or demanding a picture of his cage when he is out of the house. for the love of god though, you need to do at something!

2, avoid what i’ve heard people describe as “traffic jam chastity”. this is when you don’t keep him locked, teased, and denied long enough. understand that in order to get to the sweet spot of chastity you need to have a minimum amount of lock up time (plus constant teasing). this will vary by each couple but it is certain that only having him locked for a few days at a time will result in failure. i suggest at least 4 weeks at a time. ideally more! it takes time for him to build up sexual tension and frustration and to convert that into constructive emotions and actions. if you’re unlocking him too often then you will never reach the promised land and every time you unlock him, you’ll have to start over.

some keyholders are worried about being “too strict” and keeping him locked for too long but you should remember that if you’re already in a chastity relationship then he wants to be locked up! unlocking him is likely the opposite of what he wants. still, if you are worried about how long you keep him looked and denied then play this fun game: chose a number of weeks that you think is reasonable to keep him locked for. maybe like 6 weeks to start. write it down. tell him that you’ve chosen a period of time for his next chastity sentence. tell him that he has to also choose a period of time and write it down but if he chooses a time period less than what you chose then you will double the your number! (ie if you chose 6 weeks and he chose 3 weeks then he will be locked for 12 weeks! oof…) but if he chooses more than what you’ve chosen, then that will be his new sentence (ie if you chose 6 weeks and he chose 7 weeks then he will be locked for 7 weeks). this is a fun game that also let’s you know exactly how long he thinks is appropriate.

3, As the keyholder, you must set clear rules and expectation. you have to make and enforce your will. do you want nightly back rubs? make it a rule. want him to clean the house? make it a rule. want him to give you and orgasm. demand one. i’ve been giving many examples of things you could do to keep chastity spicy. pick a few and do them on your terms. he is probably starved for this kind of attention and if youre not giving it then no wonder he is acting out! chastity is a give and take and the more effort and energy you put into it, the more benefits you will receive from it.

more FAQs and trouble shooting to come.

mha headcannons.

— how they text!

starring bakugo, midoriya & todoroki (sho).

cont. kirishima & kaminari (soon).

shigaraki, dabi & hawks (soon).

katsuki bakugo.

- lowkey dry as fuck.

- if you want to have a proper conversation, call him.

- pray to god that if he does bother to answer, he doesn’t start it off by berating you for calling him in the first place.

- definitely strikes me as the type to read a message from notifications, and if he doesn’t feel like there’s an appropriate response or that one isn’t necessarily needed, he’ll just leave it.

- i.e. he’s the king of ghosting.

- in saying this, if he does deem it worthy of one then he always replies within a good amount of time so conversations with bakugo are unexpectedly easy.

- he would be a little more enthusiastic texting or calling his s/o (although to someone that didn’t know him well, they wouldn’t be able to tell).

- uses abbreviations maybe 50% of the time. not too much but if they can end a conversation quicker, he’s not going to complain.

- just basic ones “gfys” “stfu” “idc” “idgaf”

- his fave emojis are def 🙄😤😒🖕

- he’s aware of some of the mainstream trends and shit (tiktok slang, popular memes and all that). if anyone ever texts him something he’ll usually understand it, but he’ll rarely ever reciprocate it.

- if it’s the perfect situation (or he’s in a secretly good mood) he might send you a few memes or a funny gif.

- definitely progresses slowly in texting you romantically.

- well not romantically but yk

- he wouldn’t be caught dead sending love hearts.

- and he wouldn’t send an “ily” text first, but he’d always respond to yours. it would just take him some time to get from “you too” to “ly” and then finally “love ya”.

- maybe if you’re lucky he might send you an “x”.

izuku midoriya.

- spam texter with no shame right here.

- honestly he ends up accidentally spamming 85% of the time anyway.

- he overthinks and overshares and has absolutely no filter at all, so of course he finds a way to incorporate that into his texting personality.

- texts how he talks!!!

- forget what people say about “you can’t tell someone’s tone through a text” because izuku midoriya is amazing at communicating his emotions just in general really.

- WILL TEXT IN ALL CAPS WHEN STRESSED. ALSO CUTS MOST FILLER WORDS OUT.

- when he gets excited he types really freaking fast so there’s often a lot of typos and any sort of punctuation he attempted to use would probably have one too many spaces.

- the same applies for when he’s nervous or under pressure.

- very passionate if the need arises.

- and very openly loving toward you.

- never scared to send a love heart or seven 💖🤍💓.

- he highkey keeps up with the trends.

- uses emojis and memes whenever he gets the chance but most of the time he just rambles on until they’re not necessary anymore.

- how quickly he replies can vary massively. since he’s a pro he’s often getting dragged into cases with little notice.

- he takes his work very seriously so he usually doesn’t respond whenever he’s training or patrolling.

- but when he has the chance to be on his phone, he responds instantly.

- he texts you so much he just loves you so much.

- and oh my god don’t get me started on calling him.

- will always facetime you if you’re down.

- when he wakes up, before he goes to sleep, whenever he’s at lunch or on break.

- his friends make fun of him for how much time he spends on his phone with you.

shouto todoroki.

- a classy texter of course.

- very grammatically correct, starts all of his sentences with capitals and always uses the necessary punctuation like a good boy.

- texting sho is kind of intimidating. you’re aware of proper grammar usage and whatnot, but why bother in an informal text?

- whenever you text sho you always feel a little bit dumb, or feel like he might think you’re a little bit dumb.

- you obviously don’t want him to think that.

- sometimes it feels like you’re texting your grandparents because of how proper he is.

- he’s dry but to a degree.

- honestly just comes across as dry because of his personality.

- he’s a blunt person so it’s only natural.

- very to the point, but he’ll keep a conversation with you even if he thinks it might be a little aimless because he enjoys talking to you.

- sho wouldn’t really take charge of communication in the relationship so you’d have to initiate most of your conversations.

- he’s kind of 50/50 when it comes to responding.

- he doesn’t go on his phone often so he doesn’t always see notifications.

- texts could take him a few hours to respond to.

- but since you’ve started dating he makes sure to keep his ringer on. if you call he usually answers you on the first two rings.

- sometimes he might call you randomly when he’s bored or he misses you a lot.

- sho being “romantic” is honestly adorable.

- he sounds like a gift card you could find in the supermarket.

- “Thinking of you.”

- will always say “I love you” back.

- and he loves sending you 🤍.

- sometimes if he’s feeling extra loving he might send you two hearts aww.

- definitely loves to drop ✅ or 👍

- maybe 🙂 if he’s a bit cheery.

- regardless he doesn’t keep up with trends.

- he’s got an account on every social media platform (by which i mean denki stole his phone and signed him up to everything) but he just doesn’t understand the hype.

- plus he couldn’t really figure out how to work them so he just gave up :(

- poor baby gets so confused by memes and most abbreviations, so if he receives any (even if it’s not from you) he’ll always text you to ask what it means.

Hello, Hello! Really big fan of your works. I'm obssessed with the YBOM series, everytime you upload an update I consumed it right away. sorry for the long message I just wanna praise you for your amazing skills

but anyway, I wanna ask whats your writing flows? like, how do you start writting your stories - especially the series one. Do you make an outline of the story until finish, do you just go with the flow or ? I'm starting to write as hobby but I'm not very consistent with it... Like how do you manage to be so consistent with writing while studying at the same time it blows my mind. again, sorry for the long ask 😭😭😭😭 im quite the yapper

first of all thank you so much for sending this, it's making me emotional. i'm glad you're enjoying YBOM <3

second i love asks like this!!!!! i'm very open and like to share my writing process and i have compiled a few examples of how my personal writing flows— and hopefully i can answer all your questions, the response is also fairly lengthy because i too am a yapper 🫡 and like the milestone name suggests there's a lot of personal lore here, anyways enjoy 👍

first how or where do i start? honestly despite me writing regularly i'm a mix of a vibe or mood writer and song titles!!! the ideas usually come early in the morning when i wake up or a thought before i go to sleep. most of the time these come to me during class hours and i write them instead whether it be in my phone or a notebook, or when i'm studying and i listen to a song and it randomly inspires me.

for the series, let's take doab since it's completed, the inspiration came from listening to the same some from patd! and it reignited something in my head and went from there

here are some original notes from drafting the series:

some things go and some things stay. the first two ideas at the start usually stay, and as the story goes i take liberties in changing the plot depending on how i think the driver or how i characterized the reader will react or respond to the situation in hand, so their decisions play a good part.

in greedy for example it was supposed to be a fwb to lovers with seb, but i scrapped the initial draft because it wasn't giving the way i envisioned. another factor is how i characterize the reader / yn because i struggle writing mean characters, and greedy was hard because i didn't want to write a mean character, i'd like to think i tried.

for my ongoing dilf series, it's definitely better because i've learned to pace myself (i definitely have not, but we're getting there)

for the case of ybom i thought of the initial plot and tbh ybom was just supposed to be a co-parenting fluff with reconciliation fic but as i wrote it, i began thinking of the reason as to why alonso and reader did what they did and we begin seeing the flesh of their characters

like the cliffhangers are on purpose, because i too have to stop and think what would be appropriate to push the plot forward, i realized that the ybom plot is all in my head

surprisingly it's shocking how i haven't forgotten about some ideas because i just write them directly and i haven't really written anything premeditated about it, except for the ending. here is the only page i wrote about ybom and it's mixed with other wips

one thing i realized while writing YBOM is to focus on a chapter at a time, but also to ensure that the small things the characters are doing will lead to a bigger picture. i have written a lot in the past and for different fandoms and even some original work, but i have never finished a single series in my name

the first series i finished writing ever was doab, and it was an epiphany for me, because i proved to myself that i could do it, and i could dedicate the amount of time i did, ever since i started writing in third grade, to have completed doab was a big feat for me

there's really only one story wherein i thought hard for the plot which is rlr, which is also why the updates are slow because this is my baby, and i have thought about this for so long, even though i'm not updating or talking about it, it's usually the one i keep making changes to

for the consistency— instead of focusing on consistently writing, my go-to is to take breaks consistently. writing to me is my break from studies and when i have time i usually write in my notes, a lot of the written parts in doab and ybom are written while waiting for the teachers, and in between lab work

also reading! when i'm in a slump i usually read other fics here, atm i'm reading: let me be your lighter @/nostappen and pancakes @/saintescuderia at idk if it's good to read when you're in a writing slump but i get inspired reading and think about what i will write next when i get the time.

being patient to yourself— some times you write a lot and some times you're barely writing and that's fine. it took me a while to learn that so now i'd like to think i'm better at managing my own expectations and choosing to stop when i no longer have the capacity to write.

and lastly to enjoy the process of it all— write what you want to write and have fun with it. not just writing but find a supportive community, i enjoy writing and sharing my silly little posts and talking to people here.

hopefully this has some semblance of understanding, and i made my point across with how i thought it would be conveyed? uhmm yeah, i hope you enjoy, this is vv lengthy actually now....

#★ the inbox #amgf ★ lore milestone #this is a quite long answer i hope you find the answers and what works best for you #hopefully this doesn't sound too egotistical of me but honestly i don't know anymore #i hope you enjoy reading and writing fics!!!#thank tou for sending and participating in my party hehehe 🫡#also!!! prompts!!! vvv helpful #and listening to music is one as well #okay that's really it all

If I wasn't so distracted by New York (I redid his face 7 times 😭😭), I would so rant about NY/CALI/NJ with you

Let me finish drawing him and I would send you a message in discord if you're okay with that!

are you joking Tumblr- WHY DID I MISS THIS???

this isn't late totally uh. you had to redo his face? 7 times?? damn- 😭. he does have a face that is so specific that if it's done wrong it doesn't look like him at all lol (that could just be me)

anyways, i'm always fine with getting messages on discord! i'm not active much on any messaging app, really, since I don't talk to many people- but I would gladly talk to you! (just ignore how late or fast my responses are. i'm a busy not busy person, 🥲)

I was going through my long list of fic wips (I have like, 100+ atp) and came to the realization that my NY/CA/NJ brain rot is in fact not something recent, but a months old ship i've had simmering in my brain. so that's cool lol (I really need to talk to someone about my memory problems-). I have so many headcanons and thoughts of them, and recently finally came up with a base of what I want their relationship to look like (basically their personality shit and how they piece together like a puzzle) since i've been running with a small amount of ideas on them for a while now. anyways, i'm rambling LMFAO. NY/CA/NJ is something I breathe, eat, sleep, and drink and I think I would physically combust if I didn't have the like, two-three fics of their ship on ao3 and my own little ideas.

the day I have someone to ramble about them is the day I will die peacefully lol

(below is my random NY/CA/NJ thing so I can tag this with the appropriate character tags and not make this a random post clogging up tags)

New York wasn't too fond of California in the beginning, and had a hate "relationship" type thing with New Jersey. The two of them (NY & NJ) would frequently hook up to let out frustration and anger, usually leaving before the other woke up and not speaking about what had happened the night before.

Well during this time New York started getting pulled towards California because of little things that he had started to notice. (The way he was not afraid to stand up for what he believed in, how he was such a hypocrite at times yet could be endearing in a weird way. Even started realizing that California was interested in having some sort of relationship with him after the countless times California had came up to him and "talked" ((New York wasn't really responding. Also that relationship is called friends, New York.)) to him about random things.) It really made him think about his relationships with New Jersey and now, California, and made things complicated in his mind.

New Jersey could tell that something was off about New York and even started trying to confront him about it (after learning about the "friendship" New York had with California now. he ignored the jealousy he felt when New York rambled about it for the first time ((also when they had started to actually talk more than they used to.))) He tried his best to give him some advice and help, but it's the Northeast and the relationship he has with New York is already confusing and messy, so he didn't do much. (New York thought his advice was helpful, although he'd never admit that.)

New York later started to come to find out that his platonic thoughts for the two weren't so platonic (dude you're literally hooking up with New Jersey- how in any way is that platonic??), which made life even harder for him. How the hell is he supposed to ignore his feelings when he has a (friends? enemies? he doesn't know anymore) with benefits with NJ and frequently hooking up with him, while practically spending all of his time with California? (you could say they're teetering on this weird line of best friends and acquaintances.)

anyways there's my two cents of my NY/CA/NJ lore that I have been meaning to write for so long now.

18+ Smut

Summary: After a week long punishment Josh comes home with a surprise and a wild night up his sleeve.

Warnings under the cut

Warnings: dom!josh, dacryphilia, choking, spit k!nk, wax play, 🍑 stuff, degradation, praise k!nk, probably more that I’m forgetting 😬

“Please, Josh, please! Just a quick one. I’ll be good I promise.”

“Sorry sweetness. One week was the deal.”

“But it has been a week!”

“Not until tonight angel.” He says goodbye with a kiss to your forehead then leans into your ear, “And if you keep up with the back talk, I’ll just make you watch me take care of myself like last time.”

Last week when you had gone out with him and his bandmates he noticed you getting a little too friendly with his twin Jake. It was nothing crazy. Jake was helping you learn how to play pool and there were a few points where his hands lingered on your back and hips for a bit longer than Josh’s liking. It probably didn’t help that you were definitely enjoying it, and he could tell by the giggles coming from you and the look on your face. Josh knew you and he knew what you looked like when you were getting turned on. You tried to explain that it was nothing, leaving out the fact that there were several points during the interaction where you felt Jake’s hardened cock pushing against your lower back. Ultimately, Josh had decided an appropriate punishment would be one week with no sexual contact. Not from him and not from yourself. The last week had been torture. One moment in particular keeps replaying in your mind. You were watching TV in your bedroom while Josh was showering and you heard his soft moans mixing with the sound of the water. You got off the bed and padded into the en-suite bathroom. You could see him through the glass doors of the shower, shrouded with steam. His head tilted back, eyes closed, and slack jawed with his hand wrapped around his cock stroking it furiously. A soft moan escaped your lips as you felt the heat between your legs. He let out a groan as he picked his head up and opened his eyes. Looking directly at you, he continued to stroke himself and maintained eye contact as he erupted onto the shower doors. Once he dried off and got into bed he said, “Did you like the little show baby? I bet you’re soaked right now.” He gently trailed his fingertips down your abdomen and in between your legs, grazing your clit for only half a second. “Such a good girl for me. I’ll reward you for that Saturday night.” It is now Saturday morning and you need to find something to occupy your time in order to not go insane. You think cleaning would pass the time well. You crank up your record player and get to it.

You had decided to take a nap after cleaning your house from top to bottom and upon opening your eyes you look at your phone to check the time. 7:36 pm. Fuck I didn’t mean to sleep that long. You have 3 missed messages and a missed call from Josh.

Josh 5:27 pm

Hey honey I’ll be a little late getting home. But I should be there by about 9 or so.

Josh 6:15 pm

Do you want me to grab anything for dinner?

Josh 7:09 pm

Also… I have a little surprise for you when I get home ;)

Your mind starts to race thinking about what the surprise could be.

You respond.

It’s up to you! And a surprise?? I’ll be waiting at the edge of my seat.

You climb out of bed to get a little dressed up for him. Well more like dressed down. You take a shower then fix your hair into loose curls and apply light makeup. Going into your closet you grab a black silk slip dress. As you’re putting it on you remember you bought a new toy recently and still haven’t gotten to use it. You open the drawer where you keep all your sex toys and grab the package that contains a stainless steel butt plug with a shiny hot pink gem on the bottom. This will make him go crazy. You open it and apply a small amount of lube before sliding it into your hole. You then go to the living room to watch tv until his arrival.

Josh 8:45 pm

Go to the bedroom, sit on the bed, and cover your eyes.

You do as you’re told and a moment later you hear the front door unlock and his footsteps approaching the bedroom.

“Keep your eyes closed. Are you ready for the surprise Angel?”

“Yes! Yes what is it?!”

He comes to you and grabs your hands and places them on the sides of his head. Your eyes jerk open. Where there used to be soft brown curls is now shorn down to soft stubble. Your jaw drops as you look up at him.

“Oh.. my god!”

“What? Do you hate it?” He asks sheepishly and you feel bad for making him self conscious.

“NO! I fucking love it! OH MY GOD?!” You run your hands over the sides of his head and through the remaining strip of curls. “Fuck I love it so much. You’re so fucking sexy like this.”

“I was hoping you would. Speaking of sexy, look at you baby. All dressed up. Is that just for me?”

“It is. Only the best for you baby.”

“You’re so good to me. Now let me be good to you.”

He lays you down on the bed and kneels in front of it, he spreads your legs and places them over his shoulders. He slides your dress up and stops. He sees the gem adorning your asshole.

“I thought we talked about this Angel. We agreed on one week. No sex, no touching yourself, no toys.”

“It’s for you! I wasn’t doing it for me! I thought you would like it.”

“Oh my sweet baby. You know I love it. But you still broke a rule. Sit up for me.” He stands as you sit up on the bed. “Arms up.” You lift your arms and he pulls your dress off of you revealing your hardened nipples. “Don’t move.”

He walks to the closet and returns with a silk scarf, a small box and a lighter. “Looks like you’re not the only one who got new toys.” He sets the box on the bed. It contains four black candles. You had expressed your interest in wax play to him a few times but were unsure how he felt about it. This answers any questions you had.

“Lay down on the pillows.” You lay back and he starts to undress himself leaving only his boxer briefs. You can see the large outline of his cock and it sends chills down your spine. He climbs on the bed and straddles you.

“Lift your head for me little dove.” You do and he takes the scarf and ties it around your head, covering your eyes. He places a soft kiss to your lips and kisses down your neck and chest. He takes a nipple into his mouth and swirls his tongue around the tip as he pinches the other a little too gently for your liking. He releases your nipple from his mouth with a wet sound. You hear him get into the side table and then a squirting sound. He places his oiled hands on your chest and begins to slowly massage your chest and shoulders. He moves his hands down rubbing over your stomach and sides. Soft moans leave your lips as his hands slide over your body.

“Mmm.” You sigh.

Moving to your breasts, he kneads them in his hands and takes your nipples in between his thumbs and forefingers pinching them a bit harder this time. He stops and you hear the click of the lighter. A moment later you feel hot droplets on your chest. They’re not too hot though, just a light sting. You let out a soft moan. You feel his hand move up the side of your thigh and he dips his thumb in between your lips beginning to rub slow circles over your clit.

“Does my sweet baby like that?”

“Yes.” You answer barely above a whisper.

“This isn’t a very good punishment then, is it?”

“No.” You choke out.

“It’s okay honey. You sound so pretty for me right now. Being such a good girl. Those little noises you’re making are going straight to my cock.”

He shifts his hips forward a little and you feel the soft tip enter you slightly. He pulls back and continues to drip the wax down your stomach and onto your thighs while touching you softly. You feel the hot drip onto your nipple and then the other. The stinging sensation sending lightning bolts to your core. He removes the fabric from your eyes.

“Okay angel, get your knees right over there.” He points to the space in front of the window. “Hands behind your back.” You do as such and he walks back into the closet and returns with a bundle of black nylon rope. He kneels down and begins binding your arms together then starts to weave it around your neck, breasts, and torso.

“Where did you learn how to do this?”

“I’ve been doing my research. Now shut your pretty mouth before I fuck it.”

He finishes up and you’re left with a full rope harness around the upper half of your body. He stands back. You think for a second before opening your mouth.

“Can you?”

He looks down at you, “Can I what, Angel?”

“Can you fuck it? My mouth?”

His eyes turn black with lust. He slides his boxer briefs down and kicks them away. He reaches down and places his thumb on your bottom lip and pulls down to slide his thumb in. You begin to suck it gently.

“Look at you. Begging for my cock like a good little whore. Anything my princess wants, she gets.”

He pulls his thumb out.

“Open up baby.”

You open your mouth wide and he grabs the base of his cock and slides it into your mouth, coating your tongue with his salty sweet precum. He grabs the sides of your face and places his thumbs into your mouth, opening it wider as he starts thrusting into your throat. He removes his hands and uses one to gather your hair between his fingers into a makeshift ponytail and pushes his cock even deeper. Tears begin to well up in your eyes and fall down leaving mascara streaks down the sides of your face. He takes his free hand to wipe the tears away.

“Fuck you’re so beautiful like this. Taking my cock so well baby.”

He uses both hands to push your head all the way down on him, your nose brushing his trimmed pubic hair and balls on your chin. He lets out a loud grunt and holds you there for a moment then uses the hand still wrapped in your hair to pull you off. You pant heavily trying to get the air back into your lungs. Tears still streaming down your face and drool dripping from your chin.

“Okay princess. Now it’s my turn.”

He grabs the part of the harness wrapped around your throat to pull you up and walks you back over to the bed. He helps you scoot up and lean back against the headboard then spreads your legs apart.

“You’re dripping for me Angel. I’m gonna make you feel so good.”

He kisses the inside of your thigh working his way up and licks along your center. Sucking your clit into his mouth and flicking his tongue over it. He places two fingers into you and curls them up, hitting you perfectly. You feel the shaved sides of his head brushing the inside of your thighs. You reach down and run your fingers through his curls before grabbing on and pulling lightly. He grabs the plug still in your ass and twists it, pulling it and pushing it back in slowly before completely removing it. He licks down your pussy and swirls his tongue around the slightly gaping hole. He licks his way back up to your pussy. He slides two fingers into your ass and starts fucking them in and out while sucking and rolling his tongue over your clit. The moans leaving your mouth are getting louder.

“That’s it baby, give it to me.” He groans against you and you look down at him, his eyes burning into yours.

He continues expertly working his tongue over you while finger fucking your hole. You feel the pressure inside you begin to peak and finally snap, your hips bucking up into his face.

“Fuck you taste so good, Angel. So sweet. My little peach.”

“Josh please. I want it. I need it. Please.” You say, slightly out of breath.

“Use your words honey. Tell me what you need and I’ll give it to you baby.”

“I-I need your cock inside me.”

“Where do you want it mama? Tell me.”

“In my ass. Please.”

“You beg for me so sweetly. I could never tell you no.”

He helps you roll over onto your knees with your face in the pillows and arms still tied behind you. He reaches back into the nightstand to grab your wand then sets it next to him. He leans down and spits directly on your hole and rubs it around and inside with his index finger. He takes his hand and rubs it over your pussy gathering your slick then proceeds to stroke it all over his cock. He lines up to your hole.

“Are you ready for it baby?”

“Mhm.” You all but moan anticipating his entrance.

He slides his cock slowly into your ass until he’s balls deep. He pulls it out and thrusts back in a little faster this time. He repeats the movements until he’s ramming into you at a god-like speed.

“You feel so fucking good. So fucking tight around me, Angel. I love you.”

The only thing you can do is moan in response. He takes your hair in his hand to pull you up to him then wraps his fingers around your throat, holding you close to him. Still furiously fucking into you, he growls into your ear “I said I love you.”

“I love you too! Fuck!”

“That’s my good girl.”

He licks a stripe down your neck and grabs the wand. He turns it to the highest setting then places it on your clit.

“OH MY FUCKI- FUCKFUCKFUCK!!!”

He continues pounding into your ass as the intense vibrations are bringing you to peak once again.

“Give it to me baby. You can do it. Do it for me.”

His words were enough to send you over the edge, screaming out in pure ecstasy.

“Good fucking girl. Being so fucking good for me.” He keeps the wand directly on you.

“It’s too much Josh! Please! It’s too much!”

“I’m almost there, peach. You’ve got another one in you. I know you do. Cum for daddy. Give me one more.”

The sensation has your eyes rolling back in your head. Your moans getting louder turning into borderline wails. You quickly feel the pressure building for a third time. Only this time it feels twice as powerful. You reach around and grab a fistful of his hair, pulling him into your neck. His hips begin to stutter and you feel his cock twitching inside your ass as your own release takes over you.

“Josh! Josh! Josh! Holy fucking Christ!”

It finally bursts, gushing all over the bed. Your entire body spasms as he pulls out. He places his hand on your back and guides you down onto his lap. He looks down at you and strokes the hair out of your face.

“Are you okay Angel?”

“Mhm. I’m okay.” You nod and swallow dryly.

“Are you hungry?”

“Very.”

“Okay baby. I’ll order the usual.”

He places a kiss on your forehead and unties you. You take a quick shower while he orders food and then put on an oversized t-shirt. By the time you meet him in the living room he has the food set out on the coffee table. You both cuddle up on the couch and enjoy your meal while watching reruns of Seinfeld.

(Slides into ur messages) can I hear what u have to say about Dark Shadows and the theme of reincarnated love being attributed to Dracula? 🍿👀

crying throwing up etc yes you CAAANN thank you. and sorry it took me forever to type up this reply. it is,,,very long i'm so sorry i don't know how not to write essays when asked for a fairly simple explanation.

First of all, let me just say I'm not a pop culture historian and i don't live in the heads of anyone who's adapted Dracula, so I can't say with 100% certainty that any one thing inspired anything else unless it was explicitly stated.

OK! SO! I won't bore you with the entire history of Dark Shadows the television show. All you really need to know was that it was a live-to-tape Gothic soap opera created by a guy named Dan Curtis, who was a huge fan of classic horror (such as Legosi's Dracula films). The show adapted various horror classics like Turning of the Screw and Jane Eyre into a long running narrative about a rich family called the Collins, on the coast of Maine.

Initially the supernatural elements of the show were more subtle; but the show wasn't really landing and when the ratings started to tank around '67 Curtis and the writers decided to do something a little more bold and adapt Dracula. Just like in the book (spoilers for those reading for the first time!!) the vampire, Barnabas Collins, was meant suck some blood, kill some people, and die after wreaking the appropriate amount of havoc.

The thing about loose adaptations and Dark Shadows is that everything about it was made in an extremely adaptable format. The show was filmed live-to-tape every day and scripts usually only written a few weeks in advance; that meant that it gave the writers a lot of wiggle room to react to things the audience responded to well, and cut out things they didn't. And the audience really responded to Barnabas Collins; he was played by Canadian theater actor Jonathan Frid, who brought a lot of humanity to the part despite it being written in a very villainous way.

The writers had a prominent ghost around Collinwood named Josette Dupress who was often referenced in the early parts of the show; so they worked her into the story as having been Barnabas' doomed fiancé, who just happened to look exactly like a local girl named Maggie Evans. This kicked off the "Lucy" part of the plotline, but from here the writers began to deviate from the Dracula storyline. Once it was clear that the vampire was immensely popular (essentially saving the show from cancellation) the writer's began to tweak the character in order to justify keeping him around. They began introducing more human aspects to his character in order to make him more nuanced; one of the most prominent ones being his obsessive need to find and be reunited with Josette.

The show ran for over 1200+ episodes, and was a pop culture phenomena. By the end, Barnabas had firmly established himself as the main character of the series, and the Josette reincarnation plotline had been repeated several times. In 1974, two years after the series end, Curtis would go on to adapt Dracula into a television movie; he borrowed the reincarnated lover plotline from his own television show for that movie. Since then, it's become almost a trend in Dracula adaptations to follow this plot formula; sometimes with Lucy, but most often with Mina.

Not many people know about Dark Shadows these days, but the show had a huge cultural impact in the late 60's. Again, I'm not 100% able to say that every adaptation that features this trope is borrowing from Dark Shadows. Likewise, while a lot of the 'sympathetic vampire' or 'vampire as an affliction/disease rather than a creature of evil' may have have been inspired by something prior to Dark Shadows (Varney the Vampire is something to check out) it definitely helped to popularize the trope and bring it into the modern consciousness. (Sidenote; any adaptation that features 'curing' vampirism through medicine is, most likely, inspired by DS, but I'm not sure how common that one is)

So, uh, anyway! In conclusion if you're trying to mark out your bingo board of Dracula adaptations checking out a few episodes of the original Dark Shadows (NOT the tim burton one i cannot stress this enough) might be worth it. As an added bonus you get the world's most tortured pathetic Renfield-esque character, and a badass female doctor in the Van Helsing role. Thanks so much for asking and if you're reading Dracula for the first time I hope you enjoy it!!

#god thank you for asking this you're my new best friend i'm wiring 20 USD to your location rn #dark shadows #ds #dracula #dracula daily #barnabas collins #jonathan frid #ds 66 #josette dupress #asks #goooddd im so long winded

20 Questions Writer Ask Game

Inspired by @thesymphonytrue

How many works do you have on ao3?

What's your total ao3 wordcount?

209,022

How many fandoms have you written for and what are they?

In published works I have 5:

DSMP/RPF (I count them as the same fandom even though they are tagged differently in my works)

Spider-Man: Across the Spiderverse

Stranger Things

Legend of Zelda (BOTW/TOTK)

White Collar

I have wips in probably 2 or three other fandoms including Shadow and Bone, Purple Hyacinth and The Magnus Archives

What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Hey Lover (Pavitr/Hobie)

Three Rings (Karlnapity)

I'm not a praying man (but I'll kneel to that) (Pavitr/Hobie)

Dancing Barefoot (Robin Buckley/Nancy Wheeler)

We're Sleeping Together (Dnf)

Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

Very rarely to be honest. If it's a mutual or someone I know or they give a comment that I think warrants a response (request, questions, etc) then I respond. Otherwise, I never know what to say and how to thank them for commenting without sounding like an automated message lmao. But if you have commented on my fics trust me I have happy screamed about you <3

What's the fic you've written with the angstiest ending?

Love Causes Trouble. 60s/70s era dnf where george gets killed at the end. Very tragic I think.

Do you write crossovers? If so, what is the wildest one you've ever written?

Nah, no crossovers. I do have a hunger games/spiderverse idea, but I'm not sure if it will come to fruition.

Have you ever received hate on a fic?

No, god bless. Which is a little surprising sometimes considering the amount of rpf I've written lmao. But my dsmp writing was never that popular so I should count my blessings.

Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Sure. I prefer quick and easy fade to blacks which I've done before, but occasionally I write smut.

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

No.

Have you ever had a fic translated?

No.

Have you ever co-written a fic before?

No, but I would be open to the idea. It would have to be a long fic if I did that.

What's your all time favorite ship?

Oh god. I've never written for it but ngl wolfstar has a soft spot in my heart. But there are so many and for the sake of not providing a documented list of everyone I've shipped before I'll leave it at that.

What's a WIP you want to finish but don't think you ever will?

My Purple Hyacinth fic. I love it so far, but I just got so burnt out in the middle of working on it. And I have trouble picking up fics when I haven't touched them in too long. I still have it outlined and probably like 1/3 of the way done. So I'm holding out a sliver of hope. But realistically, I probably won't finish it.

What are your writing strengths?

Uhhh no idea. Over the years I've definitely seen a lot of improvement in my descriptive style. Showing, not telling. And I think I've gotten a lot better at making my writing compelling. The first time someone told me that my writing made them cry I also cried.

What are you writing weaknesses?

So much. 😭 I find that dialogue often runs away from me and I get sidetracked, or it sounds clunky and unnatural. Also characterization. I tend to want to make my characters 1 million percent soft and huggable and forgetting that they are quite flawed. Also plot. I can write out a series of vignettes like nobody's business but an actual plot is hard. I've only written something with a genuine plot a few times, and only one of those got published.

What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

It's why I didn't include any of Pavitr speaking in Indian associated languages. I don't want to do a bad job on it, and would be too nervous about accidentally appropriating someone's culture. Or just generally making an ass out of myself by writing something silly. Maybe something to work on?

What was the first fandom you ever wrote for?

Wrote and published? Dsmp. That fic has been deleted (it's for the best) but my first fic on my profile is still a dsmp work. Unpublished, my first fanfiction was probably for the Lunar Chronicles. Specifically Cress and Thorne.

What's your favorite fic you've ever written?

Love Causes Trouble

It is not the most popular of my fics by a long shot, but it's one of my favorites. If I went back and rewrote it there are a lot of things I would change about it. A lot. It's very imperfect but I'm just such a slut for 60s/70s queer love, for artists and writers falling in love and for tragic endings. A bit kill your gays, but I'm at peace with that.

If not for you (I couldn't get off this floor)

I also like this one because it has a few personal ties to me and because it got such a good reception. I got so many comments saying that this helped them process their grief or it was really cathartic to read so it means a lot to me.

I'm tagging a few people but please feel free to continue the game, even if I didn't tag you.

I am pleased to see this account getting much traction in recent times. Although, I sometimes feel as though I am the only person who is respecting our dear Representative Ghetsis appropriately for his standing… my sincerest sympathies in concern to the disrespect you seem to be receiving.

You’re a very patient man, Sir. That much I can tell, with my prior inquires on your own academic endeavors and your creation of an in-depth curriculum for our King N- as well as your admittance for having spent so long on perfecting the design of our Lord’s castle on another anonymous’ question. It’s something I greatly admire.

What do you say allows you to be so patient, while the people of this world seem to grow more antsy by the day? Your patience in dealing with affairs, your dedication to getting lasting change and things done correctly- perhaps it may simply be the nature of a great man placed in this world, but is there any wisdom you can share with the younger generation and people of the world that lies behind your commendable disposition?

Thank you kindly for these words of reassurance, anon. I am rarely acknowledged for my efforts outside of professional settings, this message is a welcome change to the others I have received.

I shall admit, it is not always easy responding to the copious amounts of nonsense I receive here on Rotomblr. However, this is nothing compared to my responsibilities within Team Plasma. It is the encouragement from respectable folks such as yourself that helps to motivate me to continue with my cause. I have been driven by my ambition for change since my youth, and with the support of my followers, I know we will be unstoppable when the time comes. It is with trust and great aspiration I keep my head held high, and I believe that any one of you has the potential to change the world for the better if you put your mind to it, as I do.

I wish the best of luck to you, my friend. With your intelligence, I assure you will go far.

Hello everyone!! I’m back from my hiatus and I wanted to bring a special gift🥹! This fic is dedicated to all of my Lucifer and Sebastian lovers. May you read well💖!

Also I want to get into posting to writing prompts on here, if you have any you would like me to attempt please leave a message or comment 🥰

Title: A Personification of Sin

Word Count: 2.9k

cw: threesome, gender-neutral y/n, oral,anal, cum-play, rough sex, double penetration

Summary: Lucifer and Sebastian are both in to you. Instead of choosing one of them to go out with, you invite them both out to dinner to give them a chance to impress you. Of course, when you’re dealing with demons…things do not always go as planned….

Enjoy….🫣

ఌఌఌఌఌఌఌఌఌఌఌఌఌఌఌఌఌఌఌఌఌఌఌఌ

“Y/N…are you sure it’s a good idea to ask both Sebastian and Lucifer out to dinner? Aren’t you afraid they’ll catch on to your antics?” You read your friends' text as you finished getting ready for your date, applying the final touches to your makeup.

You were partially concerned for your well being, both Sebastian and Lucifer being well known demons of their domains meant that they don’t take kindly to their time being wasted. But you had nothing to fear. Lucifer and Sebastian were both interested in you and who were you to deny the pair a chance to impress you?

“What’s the worst that can happen? If anything goes south I’ll yell for help ;)” You sent a reply to your friend as you applied perfume.

*Alright Y/N, let's fall in love…* you spoke to yourself as you headed out of the door to the dinner that would change your life.

The restaurant was located in a popular spot of the city. Sounds of the people who inhabited it meshed together with the loud lights and use of the train and metric system moving people from one side of the city to the next. You fit in nicely with the busy city crowd.

“Here it is…” you spoke aloud, you had made it to the restaurant. ℒℯ 𝒯𝒶𝒾𝓃𝓉ℯ shined above the small building in a soft white glow. *Of all places,* you murmured to yourself. Let's get this over with.

As you made your way into the restaurant, you nodded to the waiter to be guided to the table where the possible suitors sat. To say you were prepared for what you would see would be an understatement. As the two demons were….slayed to the gods as one would say.

Lucifer wore a deep red suit, complemented with black diamonds on the shoulder and sides of his coat. His pants matched as the diamonds lined the seams. His hands were adorned with gloves as black as his soul…and his makeup gave his face a soft blush, almost as if he had some amount of innocence.

Sebastian was also dressed to impress, wearing a fine tailored suit that snatched his body in the right places, and broadened his build in others. You were drawn to his waist at first, ignoring how his thighs sat next to Lucifers allowing them to fill the entirety of the booth they shared. You were staring so hard that you didn’t realize how weird it was that they sat on the same side.

“Do you see something you like my dear?” Sebastian smiled as he stood to guide you to the table, taking your bag from you so you could sit down. Lucifer took a sip of his wine as he watched the interaction, waiting for an appropriate time to speak.

Finally you gathered the courage to first breathe, and then open your mouth to speak to the both of them.

“Ahem..Uh, thank you for both for …meeting me here. I wanted to honor both of your requests to take me out to dinner, by..well, inviting you both out. I want to give you both a chance to impress me. Whoever wins can take me home!” You smiled, then pulled out some lip gloss to reapply as you waited for one of the two men to respond.

There was an awkward silence between the three of them that ensued, even the rest of the patrons in the restaurant seemed to dim their conversations down. Sebastian smiled warmly and Lucifer took yet another sip of wine before chiming in to the conversation at hand.

“Y/N….do you take the both of us as some sort of fools?”

“Wh-what..” you paused, not prepared for Lucifer’s response.

“Hmm I think they do take us as fools, considering we’re all sitting here staring at one another.” Sebastian chimed in as well rubbing the bottom of his chin as he sat up in the booth.

Lucifer nodded in agreement, “This was never meant to be a competition between the two of us my sweet, you were to pick who you would have preferred…”

“To pick your poison was the task at hand.” Sebastian said, finishing the sentence before Lucifer could, his face falling to a stern expression. The guise of his smile quickly fading.

“Uhm, well I couldn’t choose so I figured the both of you could fight over me..since I am so desired.” You bit your bottom lip in an effort to swoon the demons to change their stern expression. Your attempts, falling short.

Sebastian reached out to lift your chin up glancing at how your layered gold necklace glistened under the light of the table. He then pulled back, looking at Lucifer.

“We decided that we are both too important to try to “fight” for your attention. Especially in public, I think it would be better to settle this…in the bedroom.” Sebastian spoke with a low growl in his voice, not trying to cause a scene but also letting you know that you were on thin ice with the both of them.

“I agree Sebastian, this isn’t a matter for the public, but something we can determine…in private. Come now Y/N…” Lucifer laid out a pair of hundred dollar bills on the table to pay for the wine he drank and together Sebastian and he took hold of your hands as you all left the restaurant.

The car ride that followed was silent with a deep layer of dread interlaced. You were tempted to text your friend to come rescue you, but you were also excited to see how the night would play out. You pictured a bed full of roses and champagne to greet you as you entered the bedroom. You relied on those fantasies as the car made its way to Lucifer's condo. A place he rented outside of the House of Lamentation.

Soon enough the group made their way to the destination and you were kindly escorted out of the vehicle by the two men.

As everyone entered the room, you were not in fact met with the roses and champagne you pictured, but with a seemingly regular bedroom. You’d be lying if you said you weren’t a little disappointed.

“So…are you both still upset with me?” You spoke as you sat on the bed and took off your shoes. The two demons followed. They hadn’t broken their stern gaze with you since the restaurant.

“Y/N, we aren’t upset with you, we just want to aid you in your decision on who to choose between us. You sit here,” Lucifer guided you to sit on the couch across from the bed. Once you were settled Lucifer turned back to Sebastian.

“Shall we show our love what they are missing out on?” Lucifer flashed a smile to you before beginning to strip his clothes off. Sebastian had turned on the playlist that you and him usually shared together, the sensual music providing a melody for Lucifer to continue his show.

“Luci-“ You stuttered as you watched him. Lucifer’s hips were like a magnet, swerving to the beat as he swiftly got himself undressed. You barely had time to come out of the trance before Sebastian had joined Lucifer. His strong hands made his way down Lucifer's waist, groping and grabbing as he went down. Both of them locked onto your eyes causing the already heated pot to stir.

You felt, enticed by the two, and stood up to join them before being met with Sebastian.

“No my love, you have to wait your turn…” With a kiss to your forehead Sebastian pushed you back into the couch and returned to Lucifer, eyeing you as he began to make-out with the demon.

Lucifer practically ripped the clothes off of Sebastian as they kissed, you were taken aback by the passion the two had for each other. You wanted so desperately to join them..or even join one of them. Your plight to have them fight over you seemed to not be in your favor.

Now that Lucifer and Sebastian were fully naked, they fell onto the bed, continuing to grab at each other's hair and ass. Both of the men were dominant fighting for who would be on top of who. It drove you insane…watching the two people you desired completely ignore you to tend to their own sexual tension.

You couldn’t fight your own urge’s anymore, silently slipping your hands under your underwear and in between your legs. Beginning to touch your sex passionately, loving the sight before you.

“Ah~” Lucifer moaned as Sebastian entered inside him, it seems that Sebastian won the fight over dominance, pinning Lucifer to the bed as he worked up his pace, pumping in and out of him.

Lucifer’s face was flushed red, used to being pegged at times by you; the sensation was one he enjoyed, letting Sebastian use his body as he pleased.

Unbeknownst to you, the two had planned on this from the start. Wanting to teach their naughty pet to behave. To at least use their words, speak up for themselves and be truthful about who they want to sleep with.

As Sebastian continued to pound Lucifer he thought longer. Both of them knew it was a hard choice, both of them are demons, handsome ones at that, and extremely talented at what they do. At this point in time it was only fair that they shared not only you but each other.

“Who knew you were so good at fucking, Sebastian..?”Lucifer spoke between panted breaths. Allowing his head to roll back as the waves of pleasure he felt took over him.

“I’m one hell of a dom..” Sebastian responded, reaching down to bite Lucifer's neck.

The two were so wrapped up in their fucking that they hadn’t noticed you sitting on the couch, tending to your needs by yourself. Your moaning mixed in with the two demons as Lucifer quickly reached his climax. Demons had plenty of stamina so one round would never be enough to satisfy him.

You had their eyes closed as you continued indulging in your pleasure, using as much power and speed as you could to reach your own climax. Only to be stopped by Sebastian, who did not look happy.

“Such a desperate slut you are, love,” Sebastian growled into your ear, pulling you close and bringing the hand you used to reach your orgasm to his mouth. Sebastian proceeded to lick your fingers clean, staring into their love’s eyes as he did so. He wanted to make sure you knew he meant business.

“Get on the bed…now.”

You followed the instructions swiftly, insanely turned on and equally scared of the demon who stood before you.

After sitting in the bed Sebastian pulled the clothing you wore off, revealing your chest underneath. Leaving you with only a pair of underwear on. You were enticed, wanting Sebastian to take you then and there. You were caught by surprise when Lucifer appeared behind, straddling you. He used his hands to feel your chest and nipples, as he simultaneously nipped and sucked at your neck.

Moans escaped your mouth, completely melting into Lucifer as he continued his attack on your neck. You were so enthralled by the sensations that you didn’t notice Lucifer’s free hand making his way down your stomach to your underwear, his hands finding your most sensitive spots on your sex to massage.

You squeaked from the sudden touch, going to move your legs only to be met by Sebastian holding them down. Flashing a smirk to his pet.

“We want to show you a good time my dear.” Sebastian spoke.

“Mmm, we owe it to you for being so good to us all the time.” Lucifer whispered into your ear. His fingers stroked you slowly, and then quickly picked up the pace.

“Mmh~ Ah~” Your whimpers fell on deaf ears as Lucifer continued his assault on your sex. His hands doing things that no mortal could ever do. You found your first climax almost instantly. Barely having time to calm down before the demons helped you change positions, Sebastian had pulled you to lay down on your back.

In one swift motion the demon Butler stripped your underwear off, revealing the mess left there.

“I suppose I should clean this up for you then Y/N? I wouldn’t want you to be too messy when we really get to having fun…” Sebastian smirked as he planted his head between your legs, licking your sex clean at a speed unknown to man.

“Wait Seba-“ You began to talk but was met with Lucifer climbing on top of you.

“Why don’t you clean my mess, slut..” Lucifer growled his instructions to you, revealing his cum soaked cock to you.

“Tell me how it tastes my love…” Lucifer softly caressed your chin, guiding his dick into your mouth. You took it in willingly, too distracted by Sebastian’s attack on your sex.

“Ah~ that’s it…right there..” Lucifer moaned as he held onto your chin being careful to protect his pet as he moved his hips in line with the pace of the two below him.

Sebastian picked up his pace, licking two of his long fingers before adding them to pump into your ass, causing you to jerk upwards, which led to you taking more of Lucifer into your mouth. A concoction of pleasure that filled the room with both passion and heat.

Your eyes brimmed with tears from the overstimulation happening to you…you were so close…

“Not yet my love..”Sebastian murmured, “We want you to take your time.”

“Fuck…you…”You sounded out through Lucifer’s attack on your throat.

Lucifer chuckled, continuing to use you as a fleshlight, the demon found himself releasing into your mouth. Making sure you licked him clean. Lucifer patted the top of your head before kissing you, sucking the extra cum from off your lips.

“Such a good pet..I think you deserve a reward..” Lucifer nodded to Sebastian who responsively began to increase the amount of fingers and quicken the pace on you who finally let out an explosive orgasm. Leaving you writhing on the bed.

Panting after coming down from the high, you found a second to relax. The two demons make haste to relay kisses over your body. Sebastian sat you on the bed to massage your back and leave marks on your neck.

Lucifer took the front side of you, squeezing your nipples and shoving his knee between your legs, pinning you in the middle.

You were distracted and amused by the sudden softness with hints of pain, and was caught off guard when the two demons stood up and Lucifer wrapped your legs around him. Sebastian helped by throwing your arms across Lucifer’s neck making sure you held on tight.

Sebastian went to support your backside as he looked to Lucifer to time their next move correctly. Sebastian whispered into your ear,

“Since you couldn’t choose one of us to have, I guess you’ll have to make room for both.”

You were …speechless as the two demons slammed into you, Sebastian behind and Lucifer in front of you. The shock from the intrusion caused you to gasp as you held onto Lucifer for the ride.

The two demons took turns switching the pace from the back to the front. Making sure you felt plenty on both ends. You were quickly brought to tears from the stimulation.

Being close to Lucifer’s mouth, you heard his various pants and grunts, between his moans he whispered “That’s my good slut” and “You’re taking us so well, it’s almost like you’ve been waiting for this moment.”

You blushed hearing the praises in your ear, happy that the demons they loved were enjoying destroying them, and happy to be destroyed.

Sebastian took to pulling your hair, forcing you to look back as he licked your neck. Biting and leaving marks on you for days to come. Sebastian didn’t say too much but when he spoke he said “I’m enjoying turning you into a mess I can clean up later. You look so pretty when you’re riding my cock…”

“You take us so well….”

“Mmh~ right there…”

“Faster…harder…”

“Only good whores get treated like this..”

The sounds of praises meshed in with the sound of the three bodies thrusting into each other. The demons didn’t seem to lose stamina or power as they continued. You were transcended into orgasming for multiple rounds.

Soon enough the pair decided that you had had enough placing you down on the bed to properly recover.

Your face was flushed with tears and fresh marks from the night's activities. Every part of you had been filled, and you wouldn’t have it any other way.

“Have you made your choice my love?” Lucifer pondered as he prepared to start after care for the three of them, massaging different sore parts of your body as Sebastian cleaned you off.

“I…I think I choose a fucking nap…” you responded, too tired to give a proper answer.

Sebastian looked at Lucifer and tried not to laugh from your honesty. Lucifer stroked your hair and continued to pamper you. It didn’t take long for the three of them to finally get cleaned off to be able to sleep.

The two demons snuggled with you in between them, ready to ask you who you would choose again in the morning.

My statement.

Hello everyone, I am PYX - some of you know me as Eve. I know that you have seen recent posts about me regarding some racist behavior amongst other accusations, and I am here to respond to that.

I am sorry I took a while to address these issues, but it was very out of the blue for me, and I didn’t think it was wise for me to respond immediately when I was in a state of shock.

First of all, regarding the racist allegations, I own up to what I said that time and I am terribly sorry for it. I didn’t think twice before sending it and wasn’t aware how I had put things across. I am sorry I have hurt and confused people in the process and I know no amount of justification can prove that coming across racist was not my intention. However, there was context behind the messages, and whilst I would love to provide screenshots, the server’s moderators have already removed the channel that this conversation happened in and I am unable to retrieve them.

Basically, another member had asked if she should take down her Black OC’s pfp (which was her tumblr pfp) because there seemed to be cancel culture amongst the Simblr community when they would find out that POC character’s creator is, in fact, White. Because I had a similar train of thought as her, I shared my two cents. I could have worded things a lot differently, and I still look back and regret this. After this happened, two of the moderators came forward to talk to me about it personally, and it made me understand how my words came across as offensive. I also had a conversation with Coloursul about this and yes, they provided screenshots about it, but I felt it was a very one-sided view of our conversation. (The blurred part is them talking about their mental health, and I am not trying to invalidate them because of it.)

I am keeping the conversation with the other two moderators private out of respect for them. Besides apologies being made, I have also promised that I would be more mindful moving forward; and I don’t really know what anyone else expects me to do after that, because obviously, words that have already afflicted the hurt cannot be taken back. I wish I never said those things, of course, but I did, and I can only promise to do better. Which I am still learning and trying to do.

Idobmm has never approached me about this matter besides her response in the server, and I understood that the mods, who have spoken to me, had urged her at one point to do so as well. I was under the impression that the mods have cleared things up with everyone regarding this issue and it had come to a close after our conversation.

Regarding my jealousy towards the friendship between Idobmm and Coloursul, I wasn’t sure why exactly anyone was under the impression that I was, and I could only think of one incident that probably set the tone for that statement. Earlier on in the server, before the above stated incident, I remembered that I was irked by Idobmm and Coloursul discussing about their OC’s relationship in detail and at length within the “main” chat of the server. As it was a main chat, I didn’t feel it was appropriate for them to do that as it breaks the flow of conversation between other members. I was nothing but supportive of their OC’s relationship with each other, but it didn’t seem tactful that they were doing it in a channel that wasn’t meant for discussing what they were, so I told them to take it up somewhere else.

I have tried to speak with Idobmm privately about this but she never replied - we both ended up deleting our messages in the server for the sake of others. I wasn’t aware of the misunderstanding that was created since my OC Yuni was in a “relationship” with Coloursul’s OC (Aleck) at that point in time. I would like to reiterate that I wasn’t jealous of anybody or anything, I made that statement simply because it was out of place for them to discuss their OCs in detail on a channel that was made for OOC chatting and banter.

As for the naming my CC after them, I have always named my CC after my friends, it was my own little way of honoring them and the impact they had in my life. In the server, I also shared my WIP actively with everyone and let them know that I was naming CC after them, since they were my most valued friends at that point in time. In fact, they have responded positively to it multiple times. In the screenshots provided, you can clearly see the dates and that it occurred before any CC with their names was published.

I wasn’t aware that they were uncomfortable and shouldn’t they have said something instead of cheering me on whilst I was doing that? Regarding the paywalling of the CC named after them, yes, they were blender files which was why I paywalled them - however, all of them also got the CC files sent to them. It didn’t cross my mind to take down the items named after them after everyone had fallen out. If you were offended by this, I apologize. I will make the blender items public as I don’t want any more issues to rise out of this - I will take them down if necessary.

Another thing that was being said was about how my friends “enabled” me. I want to let it be known that the “friends” they were talking about were the only ones who approached me and cleared things up with me privately, and educated me about what I have done. Is it enabling if they did that?

Idobmm and Coloursul have also both come forward about how I was being manipulative about their OOC friendship with each other and have perhaps provided screenshots of the last conversation I had with Coloursul before our friendship broke apart. I was hurt by the, then ongoing, situation and have let my emotions get the better of me. I am not sure if I should provide context, because what happened that led to the conversation was initially a private dispute between them and our mutual friend. I will only speak on this if my friend is comfortable about sharing this experience - otherwise, I will choose not to, out of respect for their privacy. However, I will say that what transpired to the entire friend group falling apart, was due to that matter, and it is not my place to comment on anything besides what they have accused me of. The fact that this issue only came up after my friend has decided to exit the community to take care of their own mental health seems deplorable to me of what the people - they once called friends - are doing.

Again, I am deeply sorry for what I said, and there is no excuse for racism. I am here to assure you that what I have said did not come with any intention of putting anybody down. Moving forward, I can only promise to do better. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

(Kanade x Reader)

You wanted to spend time more with Kanade, but not in her usually comfortable way of you chilling in her room while she works overtime on her music. You decided that you wanted to share what you liked with Kanade to start to get to know each other better, thus you showed her a cartoon you liked.

Next day, she’s already obsessed with your cartoon, so much so that she turned into the little girl she was long ago. So adorable. You should get her a juice box.

TLDR: Kanade goes fangirl on a cartoon

{Kanade fangirling for reader's favorite cartoon!} [P]

Believe it or not, Kanade was the one who asked about your favorite cartoons! After months of you visiting and coming over to her house every other day, she realized that she never got to ask much about your casual life...

This was a question she asked when she didn't have a clue about what were the appropriate questions to get to know someone, and as such it wasn't really planned at all!

You couldn't hide your excitement at being asked that, as you didn't have many chances to show the sheltered girl something new! You immediately put on the TV and showed her the first couple episodes before she knew what was happening!

You couldn't help but chuckle at how invested and interested she became with every passing minute! It was honestly quite endearing, and you wanted to hug her like a little kid! You resisted though, as she disliked sudden, strong physical contact...

So you instead patted her head, breaking the immersion and bringing an intense blush to her face! You chuckled again, pointing out how adorable she looked while watching the show, and she just freezes.

She was really enjoying it, wasn't she...? Sadly, you have to leave, but not before jokingly teasing her with the promise to bring a plushie of the main character!

You didn't expect the show to actually stick with her, so much that the following day she was asking you all about it, about spinoffs, content, fanbases, even the plushie you promised! Now you were free to laugh without her knowledge!

She stared at her cellphone, eagerly awaiting the answers as she couldn't stop thinking about the few episodes she just saw! It was incredibly unnatural for her to be interested in something else other than music! (Not that she didn't absolutely love the cartoon's music...)

As you answered each of her questions, you used the chance to sneak in some comments about her childish fangirling state, to which she responds almost a minute or two after blushing and panicking so hard she almost drops the phone.

However, you also make sure to send her messages to comfort her and convince her that this isn't bad! That it's normal, and that she should enjoy her new hobby and relaxation method! An overworking bean like her would benefit a lot from it...

"Oh... Oh no, has it gotten this bad? No no, it's not really bad, is it? It's a distraction... One that the others had recommended to me since long ago... Maybe this is the opportunity I've been seeking..."

It doesn't take long for her to accommodate her new fascination, as she mixes it in when her work is slowing down! No matter if it is because of her energy, imagination or just low amounts of work, it manages to lighten up her life a lot!

Now she will excitedly discuss with you everything that she learns, episode after episode, as you come over and realize just how much she loves it... Perhaps you should get to buying that plushie soon...

Domestic abuse victims are reporting abuse to the police several times before appropriate action is taken, with those from black and ethnic minority backgrounds disproportionately dismissed and sidelined, according to new research.

The research has been carried out by the charity Victim Support – the country’s biggest provider of domestic abuse services. More than 1,000 women (1,004) who have experienced domestic abuse were polled, at least 150 of them women of colour.

The new data has been published to coincide with 16 days of activism against gender-based violence, led by civil society organisations and supported by the UN, which began on Friday.

According to new government data published on Friday from the Crime Survey for England and Wales, an estimated 6.9% of women and 3% of men experienced domestic abuse in the year ending March 2022 – 1.7 million women and 699,000 men. The new data shows no significant change in the prevalence of domestic violence in the last year.

The Victim Support research found:

• More than half of all respondents – 53% – reported an instance of domestic abuse at least twice before they felt appropriate action was taken by the police.

• Nearly a quarter – 24% – reported an instance of domestic abuse to the police three times or more before appropriate action was taken.

• More than one in 10 – 12% – said that they do not feel appropriate action was ever taken.

• When reporting domestic abuse, almost half – 48% – of black and ethnic minority respondents felt that the police treated them differently from other people because of their ethnic background or heritage.

“I believe I was dealt with wrongly by the police because I’m from an ethnic minority,” a 31-year-old woman told The Guardian. Her former partner pleaded guilty to abusing her in court earlier this month.

“I’m black, I’m 5ft 10in tall and I’m articulate. The police kept saying to me: ‘You’re strong.’ Why am I strong? Just because I look OK on the outside doesn’t mean I’m feeling OK on the inside. I’ve been diagnosed with severe trauma, anxiety and PTSD.”

Her former partner began to physically abuse her in December 2021. He was also exercising coercive control over her, hacking her phone so that any messages she received popped up in real time on his laptop. He threatened to circulate intimate photos of her and pulled her hair out. He also knocked out two of her front teeth and fractured some of her bottom teeth. She still has fragments of teeth embedded in her gums.

She said that while he was prosecuted and pleaded guilty she was not kept informed about what was happening with the case. “I have lost faith in the criminal justice system,” she said.

“Victims come in different shapes, sizes, colours and genders – there is no blueprint. But abusers have the same blueprint and they all speak the same language. Abusers don’t change. They just learn how to cover things up better.”

Valerie Wise, national domestic abuse lead at Victim Support, said: “The police receive a call for help relating to domestic abuse every 30 seconds. It takes a huge amount of courage to come forward – victims need to know that their report will be handled with the upmost seriousness, and not dismissed.”

“The idea that someone’s race or appearance could impact the care they receive and their access to justice is appalling. On average, domestic abuse leads to two women being murdered every week in England and Wales – the stakes are too high for the police to not be getting this right every time.”
