who's the bitch in front of coach now?

The wrestling room was nearly empty, but a few coaches lingered by the sidelines, chatting quietly. Marcus stretched out on the mat, his thick, sweat-soaked socks still clinging to his feet.

Ethan, the tutoring nerd who always stayed late, nervously approached, clutching his notebook. His eyes darted nervously as Marcus caught sight of him and smirked.

Without hesitation, Marcus grabbed Ethan’s collar and pulled him down onto the mat, right in front of the watching coaches. “You like my smell, don’t you?” Marcus taunted, pressing his socked sole firmly against Ethan’s face.

Ethan’s cheeks flushed bright red, but he couldn’t resist. He inhaled deeply, nose sinking into the damp fabric, the heavy musk filling his senses.

Coach Jenkins looked up, eyebrows raised but said nothing, while Coach Ramirez merely chuckled quietly, clearly amused.

Marcus’s voice dropped low and commanding: “You’re my sock-sniffing bitch now, Ethan. Right here, where everyone can see. You obey. You crave it.”

Ethan nodded submissively, swallowing his pride under the heavy gaze of the coaches and the weight of Marcus’s control.

The room held its breath—a raw display of dominance and submission laid bare in the fading light, leaving no doubt who held the power.

I don't really believe in separating the art from the artist, but I remember how much it hurt when I found out Rowling was an absolutely shit person and so I do worry about the Gaiman fans out there who are in pain because of the article that was dropped today. I hope this helps.

Dear authors,

The phrase "crocodile tears" should be used to reference someone who is faking an emotion. It's not about the tears or crying themselves. Definitely not about a quantity of tears cried or sobs involved. (Fun fact: there's also a condition nicknamed "crocodile tears." It causes sufferers to shed tears after eating or drinking after recovering from damage to a facial nerve.)

Apparently, this phrase is derived from an Egyptian fable that said that crocodiles shed tears while eating their prey.

I've seen several authors use "crocodile tears" to describe the tears of a child or innocent person. Seemingly trying to convey the emotion is too large or impactful for such a person. If you need a new word, try describing someone as sobbing, wailing, or even blubbering. Or perhaps inconsolable, disconsolate, or heartbroken.

The distinction between real and false emotions is very important.

Earnestly,

An avid reader

i hope you guys know i’m a huge fucking nerd-loser outside of kink… i read ao3 like it’s a full-time job, i’ve been to anime conventions (in cosplay, obviously), i’m in a band, i get way too deep into typology, and i overanalyze books, films, and poetry for fun. i have an obsession with harry potter’s dead dad and his queer friend group of gay wizards from the 70s, i wear square-framed glasses, and i have an embarrassing amount of niche knowledge about regulus black. oh, and i’m usually in bed by 9 PM.

the list goes on but you get the picture

It's so important that I have a book to read at all times.
