"Among their complaints [in 1460, the Yorkists] specifically blamed the earls of Wiltshire and Shrewsbury and Viscount Beaumont for ‘stirring’ the king [Henry VI] to hold a parliament at Coventry that would attaint them and for keeping them from the king’s presence and likely mercy, asserting that this was done against [the king's] will. To this they added the charge that these evil counselors were also tyrannizing other true men* without the king’s knowledge. Such claims of malfeasance obliquely raised the question of Henry’s fitness as a king, for how could he be deemed competent if such things happened without his knowledge and against his wishes? They also tied in rumors circulating somewhat earlier in the southern counties and likely to have originated in Calais that Henry was really ‘good and gracious Lord to the [Yorkists] since, it was alleged, he had not known of or assented to their attainders. On 11 June the king was compelled to issue a proclamation stating that they were indeed traitors and that assertions to the contrary were to be ignored."
— Helen Maurer, Margaret of Anjou: "Queenship and Power in Late Medieval England
Three things that we can surmise from this:
We know where the "Henry was an innocent helpless king being controlled and manipulated by his Evil™ advisors" rhetoric came from**.
The Yorkists were deliberately trying to downplay Henry VI's actual role and involvement in politics and the Wars of the Roses. They cast him as a "statue of a king", blamed all royal policies and decisions on others*** (claiming that Henry wasn't even aware of them), and framed themselves as righteous and misunderstood counselors who remained loyal to the crown. We should keep this in mind when we look at chronicles' comments of Henry's alleged passivity and the so-called "role reversal" between him and Margaret.
Henry VI's actual agency and involvement is nevertheless proven by his own actions. We know what he thought of the Yorkists, and we know he took the effort to publicly counter their claims through a proclamation of his own. That speaks louder than the politically motivated narrative of his enemies, don't you think?
*There was some truth to these criticisms. For example, Wiltshire (ie: one of the men named in the pamphlet) was reportedly involved in a horrible situation in June which included hangings and imprisonments for tax resistance in Newbury. The best propagandists always contain a degree of truth, etc. **I've seen some theories on why Margaret of Anjou wasn't mentioned in these pamphlets alongside the others even though she was clearly being vilified during that time as well, and honestly, I think those speculations are mostly unnecessary. Margaret was absent because it was regarded as very unseemly to target queens in such an officially public manner. We see a similar situation a decade later: Elizabeth Woodville was vilified and her whole family - popularly and administratively known as "the queen's kin" - was disparaged in Warwick and Clarence's pamphlets. This would have inevitably associated her with their official complaints far more than Margaret had been, but she was also not directly mentioned. It was simply not considered appropriate. ***This narrative was begun by the Duke of York & Warwick and was - demonstrably - already widespread by the end of 1460. When Edward IV came to power, there seems to have been a slight shift in how he spoke of Henry (he referred to Henry as their "great enemy and adversary"; his envoys were clearly willing to acknowledge Henry's role in Lancastrian resistance to Yorkist rule; etc), but he nevertheless continued the former narrative for the most part. I think this was because 1) it was already well-established and widespread by his father, and 2) downplaying Henry's authority would have served to emphasize Edward's own kingship, which was probably advantageous for a usurper whose deposed rival was still alive and out of reach. In some sense, the Lancastrians did the same thing with their own propaganda across the 1460s, which was clearly not as effective in terms of garnering support and is too long to get into right now, but was still very relevant when it came to emphasizing their own right to the throne while disparaging the Yorkists' claim.
#henry vi#my post#wars of the roses#margaret of anjou#Look I’m not trying to argue that Henry VI was secretly some kind of Perfect King™ whose only misfortune was to be targeted by the Yorkists#That is...obviously pushing it and obviously not true#Henry was very imperfect; he did make lots of errors and haphazard/unpopular decisions; and he did ultimately lose/concede defeat#in both the Hundred Years War and the subsequent Wars of the Roses.#He was also clearly less effective than his predecessor and successor (who unfortunately happened to be his father and usurper respectively#and that comparison will always affect our view of his kingship. It's inevitable and in some sense understandable.#But it's hardly fair to simply accept and parrot the Yorkist narrative of him being a “puppet of a king”.#Henry *did* have agency and he was demonstrably involved in the events around him#From sponsoring alchemists to issuing proclamations to participating in trials against the Yorkists (described in the 1459 attainder)#We also know that he was involved in administration though it seems as though he was being heavily advised/handheld by his councilors#That may be the grain of truth which the Yorkists' image of him was based on.#But regardless of Henry's aptitude he was clearly *involved* in ruling#Just like he was involved in plots against Yorkist rule in the early 1460s before he was captured.#And he did have some successes! For example in 1456 he travelled to Chester and seems to have been responsible#for reconciling Nicholas ap Gruffyd & his sons to the crown and granting them a general pardon.#Bizarrely Ralph Griffiths has credited Margaret for this even though there is literally no evidence that she was involved.#We don't even know if she travelled with Henry and the patent rolls offering the pardon never mention her.#Griffiths seems to have simply assumed that it was Margaret's doing because of 1) his own assumption that she was entirely in control#while Henry was entirely passive and 2) because it (temporarily) worked against Yorkist interests.#It's quite frustrating because this one of the most probable examples we have of Henry's own participation in ruling in the late 1450s#But as usual his involvement is ignored :/#Also all things considered:#The verdict on Henry's kingship may not have been so damning if his rule hadn't been opposed or if the Lancastrians had won the war?#Imo it's doubtful he would be remembered very well (his policies re the HYW and the economic problems of that time were hardly ideal)#but I think it's unlikely that he would have been remembered as a 'failed king' / antithesis of ideal kingship either#Does this make sense? (Henry VI experts please chime in because I am decidedly not one lol)

my only general predictions for jjk is that Yuuji will be able to target the different souls in Sukuna’s body to be able to reach Megumi’s suppressed soul and attack sukuna’s. Im actually interested in how this will all go down, especially with Higuruma in the mix, since these fights can’t be as simple as two overpowered characters with the loss of multiple special grade sorcerers. With the potential of a court trial domain or Yuuji’s knowledge of the soul, I imagine it’ll become more psychological or metaphysical in the fighting, with a lot of good insight into sukuna and/or yuuji, megumi, etc. As for Kenjaku, I have NO idea where their story is going (apart from Yuuta wanting to kill them), but i enjoy that part of the story being unpredictable—it fits their character
#jjk spoilers#I feel like it’s a given at this point that yuuji is planning something w Sukuna’s soul#since yukis book and literally everything else that points to shit happening w the soul and body#the methods and execution are unknown but yeah despite general fan consensus I feel like it’s obvious saving megumi IS in the mind of Yuuji#and there’s probably gonna be a lot of metaphors and whatnot about identity and the body and soul#hopefully sukuna and heian era flashbacks 🤕#kenjaku on the other hand is simultaneously a detailed planner with a mission and an unpredictable entity who has to adapt to any situation#meeting takaba for example 😭#I’ve said this many times but kenjakus appeal is not just them being a typical evil mastermind who controls the plot#we get to know them. and how they ARE despicable and cunning. but they’re also kinda a loser who runs into a lot of issues and trials/errors#it makes it feel realistic. and also just entertaining to watch#there’s probably a more clever way of describing who kenjaku is vs what they desire but I don’t have the brain for that lol#I’m just vaguely very fascinated by their character#kenjaku#sukuna#itadori yuuji#if making excessive rants in the notes was a competition I would destroy any competitor 😭#i feel like there’s a lot of interesting stuff with kenjaku and sukuna that I never see people discuss 😭 but I’m also terrible at writing#so I can’t put anything to words

Hello! I just wanted to say that I really appreciate this game and how it portrays butchness. I'm a huge fan of lesbian lit and there are so few butches in media that to see a game have not one, but three, makes me feel a certain kind of way.
Aside from that, I was really drawn to how you portrayed the differing relationships between all the characters. Everything feels so visceral and real, it just feels so crunchy that I find myself wanting for more. I really look forward to seeing how it will turn out for everyone involved.
Additionally, (if this is too spoilery, has been answered, or insensitive pls feel free to ignore) is it ok if I ask how you decide the dialogue and event flow of the choices? I was mildly and pleasantly surprised that flirting with Clear and staying with her in ch 3 would lead to "that" scene, and I'm curious on your writing process on how it lead to that.
Ultimately, I just really want to thank you for sharing your game with us. Im just really glad to be able to experience this game and I hope that you stay safe!
thank you!
overall when it comes to structuring dialogue & choices i tend to write a linear path first & then double back to add more branches.
i had a basic outline of the chapter & knew what i wanted to touch on with each route & what scenes needed to happen, and then i just kinda started writing from there. Clear's was actually the one i wrote first, her sex scene was what i wrote first, and then i went back and built a lot of the route around it.
i wrote Clear's and Hana's routes simultaneously since they were so intertwined, but i ended up rewriting Hana's three times, whereas with Clear i just had to edit it a bit. i knew i wanted them to have that conversation at the table about Clear not having any friends, and then i wrote the scene where mc finds the vampire erotica book. it took some trial and error until i was happy with the dialogue & choices at the table, as well as how i wanted to split the following variations. i tend to do the romantic variations first, and then work my way down, and sometimes i have to go backwards and edit as i write because i'll add something on a whim to one variation and decide that actually i want this to be in all of them.
i am definitely someone that's a bit of a "planster" meaning i do minimal planning and write a lot by the seat of my pants. sometimes it works, other times it puts me in a bit of a bind. like i said i tend to set out with specific information/dialogue/scene/etc in mind that i know has to happen, and build up around it.
with Hana the main focus in her route was that conversation with mc; i wanted mc to get overwhelmed at the store, and for her and Hana to talk about it afterwards, and for Hana to be frustrated at her situation as this person who suddenly has to comfort and take care of mc after being replaced by her. again, minimal planning, i wrote almost her whole route before i started working on Valentina's & i mentioned Standard and his proclivities towards Chinese antiques. this made me realize i needed to rewrite a lot of Hana's dialogue to be more inclusive of her race. i went back to Clear's route, and ended up writing a lot of the conversation with Hana there after she gets back from the store, and then i adapted it to the other routes.
Valentina's route was all about the painting. again, i wrote that initial scene of walking into her room, the description of the painting, and then her first sex scene, and built up from there. there was also the brief meeting with Joan, which was mostly just for fun and to introduce those characters early for anyone that went on V's route, so the next chapter those players will have a little jump on who they are. but the main point was that painting & i think it's pretty obvious with how the whole route plays out, and the fact that the painting is always seen by all players.
this is still a game, so it is gamified quite a bit, with all 3 characters having a potential sex scene in the same chapter at the same time. i planned it that way to make it easy for myself and because that's just how i wanted it to go. i put some stat checks in place to add variations, like if you went with Hana or Valentina in ch2, if you flirted with Clear or not, and again, it was a lot of jumping around and trial and error. i wrote a significant part of Valentina's route out of order, and i finished hers last before i finalized the council meeting (which i had written very early on but like Hana's route i had to rewrite a few times)
i like to describe my process as building a tree. i write the core of it all first, one linear path, the trunk, and then i double back and add in all of the possible branches. it doesn't mean anything that i wrote the friendly, romantic variation of Clear's route first, it just allowed me to use that single variation as an anchor and build up around it without straying too far and losing the plot, hahahaha. i still sometimes stray a little too far... but it's fun that way. it was fun trying to figure out a way to make the rival route different, how to change it while still telegraphing the same overall ideas about Clear & her situation. it's also very frustrating, but it's all part of the process....

aftercare with the boys???
Okay, but I love this question. The wonderful thing about aftercare is that it doesn’t need to be complicated and intricate for it to be effective. Good aftercare is tailored to the couple (or multiples if there are more than two people engaging in sex). But also, not everyone is great at aftercare, and figuring out what works for you might take some trial and error. And let’s also be realistic here, not all of the 141 is going to knock it out of the park…they are human after all.
MDNI
written w/ gn!reader
John Price
Seasoned and experienced, Price understands that aftercare is the standard, not the exception.
Whether it’s just a casual one-night affair, or a long-term relationship, Price goes out his way to make sure aftercare happens.
Price doesn’t assume what your needs are. Instead, he presents options before sex happens. There are a few things that come standard like getting you a glass of water, but there are more specific things he wants to know like whether or not you want a shower afterward, and if you want to take that shower alone or with him.
His favorite form of aftercare involves physical touch. If you’re open to it, Price wants a good cuddle with lots of intimacy.
He’s more than happy to chat you up afterward if you need that. Or, if you just need to yap and for him to stay quiet, he can do that, too.
Affirmations, affirmations, affirmations.
Will follow up with you the next day via text or call to make sure you’re doing okay.
Kyle “Gaz” Garrick
A firm supporter of aftercare.
He’s not one to fuck and leave. Kyle prefers the long-term commitment. He likes the intimacy.
Won’t ask you before sex what you need for aftercare, but will ask after it’s all done. Kyle keeps a list of different options and will cycle through them depending on how intense the sex was. If the two of you engaged in rougher sex, he’s more likely to try and focus on taking care of you physically.
Will take the initiative on a few things like getting you a glass of water and providing snacks (or ordering delivery.)
Prefers giving massages instead of cuddling (but doesn’t hate the cuddling.)
Does enjoy watching a movie or television show after as a distraction.
Conversation and closeness post-sex is extremely important to him.
John “Soap” MacTavish
This goober doesn’t even know that aftercare is an important part of sex. It takes him a bit to figure it out y’all.
That being said, it’s not until Johnny becomes entangled in a serious relationship that the pieces start to fall into place for him.
While others may go for a more sensual approach, Johnny is all about comfort and having a laugh.
When he cuddles, he cuddles hard, and if you try to wiggle away, think again.
Lots of talking, chatting, and verbal affirmations. This man isn’t only telling you how much he loves you, or that he had a lot of fun, but also is doing his best to make you smile and even laugh.
He is the kind of aftercare partner that is absolutely looking up memes and funny videos for the two of you to watch together.
Would have edibles at the ready (if you want them) and endless snacks.
Open to watching something on television or a movie but make it low stakes. Needs to be a comedy or a trashy reality show.
If the two of you bathe or shower, it’s together. No exception.
Lots of touching.
Simon “Ghost” Riley
Aftercare is a complicated topic when it comes to Simon.
If he’s only there to get his dick wet, don’t expect aftercare. He will get you off, and find his own release, but don’t expect too much after the fact. But he won’t be a brute or an asshole either.
Aftercare comes when you least expect it, when the casual starts to become serious.
It happens almost accidentally, or rather suddenly, and completely on Simon’s terms.
Perhaps the two of you were engaging in some rough sex—at least rougher than normal—and Simon notices some bruising/tender skin. Maybe when he bit down, he drew blood, even if he didn’t mean to.
He immediately starts cleaning you up, tending to any marks he finds. It’s not a quick dab of a cloth but a full onceover. Simon observers every inch of you, checking to make sure you’re fine.
He does a verbal check in as well, because he understands that a physical check isn’t always enough.
Afterwards, he’s taking you for a bath or shower.
Then, it’s an ice pack or heating pad if you need it.
Don’t expect an outpouring of affection, but he will provide a few affirmations to reassure you.
And he will cuddle. It won’t be anything tight or super close, but rather an arm around you to draw you closer to him.

Ἅ᭥just sit back and relaxἍ᭥
let’s talk about pure consciousness // “I AM” state
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
So i realised i can’t just leave you guys hanging. i can’t just post about how you need to do shit yourselves and dip again. Even tho you guys have all you need on this app i will just be reiterating certain things.
all that’s needed is to relax
everything you do is correct, you can scratch that itch, you can lay any how, sit, even stand, when you set that intention, everything you do is correct, because when you are in that “I AM” state of mind, you are a god.
you don’t need anyone’s help, not any person who has a success story under their belt or any bloggers, including me. you don’t need anyone or anything because you are “I AM”
All that’s need is to relax, deep breathing, but don’t try to hard, this is first nature to you. A lot of you hear that you MUST relax so you force it. Don’t do that. When you hear these success stories it’s like they were so zoned out they didn’t realise they induced for a second. So let those thoughts pass through, accept them, even thoughts about what you ate today.
You CAN focus on the back of your eyelids but don’t force it.
A lot of you can’t and won’t admit that you still feel desperate for the void, you try and act like you don’t care but you do, it’s like that meme: “pretending you don’t care so your screen will load faster”. You still think that it’s your only way out and while trying to act all effortless, you’re begging for it to work on the inside. After acting relaxed you sit up confused as to why it “didn’t work”
you force the relaxation (which means you aren’t actually relaxing) because you still think you need the “I AM” state,
you can’t try to be effortless
you can’t try to zone out
just let it happen
and as for problems, they don’t exist, because the 3D doesn’t exist. The outerman may have woken up in unfavourable circumstances, the innerman has what it wants, what even are circumstances? The outerman keeps falling asleep, the innerman is a void master who gets whatever they want when they want.
The innerman is your true self. You have everything you could ever want, just relax and align.
remember:
deep breathing
relaxation {don’t force relaxation, it’s not going to help anything go “faster”, and that isn’t even needed because time isn’t real, you’re okay, you’re not running out of time no matter what circumstances show you}
affirm “I AM”/ let thoughts pass you by/ sing in your head/count/ replay scenarios whatever
don’t focus on how much time has passed because it doesn’t matter it isn’t real. don’t focus on “if it’s working yet” it has worked, {your innerman experiences your intentions as soon as you make them, you have an intention induce the void state, your innerman is already there, creation of events are already finished, it’s already happened}
immerse yourself in your thoughts and you’ll induce before you know it.
there’s no such thing as you tried and it didn’t work. trial and error does not exist for your innerman the REAL you. you’re not gaslighting yourself or being “delusional” it’s real. It’s done
pure consciousness is as easy as breathing, isn’t it wonderful?

Alright,
A base lore info about my setting.
Most of it was yapped away through the asks already, but I decided that it's still worth to organise this stuff in a coherent manner. This text also doesn't really touch on the character's arcs and their relationships with each other. This is more about the wider setting.
SHORT VERSION:
Tginf is a horror roadtrip game I'm planning to make. Embark on a terribly convoluted forest car ride with different local creatures hitchhiking your car.
EXTENDED VERSION:
The main character: You (are going to) play as the Nameless, a 20+ year old without a name, a concrete gender or any understanding of who to become to avoid getting crushed by a closing in adult life.
The forest:
The forest they got unlucky to travel through is a strict eco system. Everything not useful to it gets digested by it. Literally slowly disintegrated to at least feed the soil. At least this process takes some time.
Tumblr media
The feudals:
Tumblr media
Luckily, the forest road is ruled by three higher beings that can save unlucky travelers by giving each of them a useful (in their opinion) role to play.
The names of the feudals are:
the Oxygen, the King of the road, the Mine.
You can easily envision their domains if you split the forest space in three layers. Everything above it, everything that is on the ground, and everything below it. Every forest entity that the Nameless encounter serves one of them.
Because their territories are literally stacked on top of each other, the three don't get along particularly well and have been in a territorial conflict for centuries. For feudals, acquiring new followers through picking up the lost and stranded is another way of getting new resources in it.
The specifics of each feudal and their individual followers:
The Oxygen:
The Oxygen is physically invincible and, because of that, she never had to rely on anyone in her existence. This had a big effect on her personality. Unlike the King of the Road and the Mine, she doesn't really NEED to pick up lost and stranded to make new followers. She can create servants out of thin air, like she did with the Dummy*. She picks up travelers for her own amusement, since entertainment plays a big factor in a lot of her actions, and because the King and the Mine are invested in collecting them.
Her followers are:
The Dummy,
Tumblr media
the Diver,
Tumblr media
the Time Seller.
Tumblr media
* The Dummy was created as a jab at the King of the Road's second hand - the Knight.
* The Diver is there as a statement of ineffectiveness on the King's ruling manner. He does the same type of job his followers do, but unlike them, his mind was in no way altered or modified*
* The Time seller, despite previously being human, was made into a tiger, because the Oxygen wanted to see what would happen if she fully dehumanises somebody. She likes experimenting like that.
The King of the Road:
The King of the road is very physically fragile. He needs protection, and, despite his rather gentle demeanor, time made him paranoid and fixated on the idea of control. He collects the followers to avoid any new and unpredictable variables appearing in the forest.
Through trial and error, he came to a conclusion that love is the greatest source of loyalty and motivation, so he tampers with his followers' brains to make sure they love both him and the work he gives them.
His followers are :
the Tenant,
Tumblr media
the Radio host,
(Sorry, don't have a proper picture of her yet, since her main way of communication is...well...radio, and because I ran into Tumblr's picture per post limit, I decided to cut what I had of her imagery away)
the Knight.
Tumblr media
*The Forest is full of eldritch, sentient and, most importantly, hungry places, such as the House, the Radio Tower and the Grand Lake. The King aims to station his followers in them, so they also stay in his area of control. The Tenant and the Radio host view their designated places as if they are their marriage partners. They love them, they provide for them.
*The King also prefers to take his time before taking a new follower in. After all, the more he waits, the more the traveler gets digested by the forest, allowing the King to rebuild his new follower to his liking. Sadly, the opportunity to wait long enough rarely presents itself because of the Oxygen and the Mine interfering all the time, thus, the only follower he got to fully reconstruct from the state of blank meat was the Knight. This made him the most predictable and by extension the most trustworthy being in the forest to him.
The Mine:
About a year ago I watched a documentary about mine workers. A part of it was dedicated to the fact, that, in case of that particular mine, people should have been working inside of it 24/7, otherwise the tunnels were guaranteed to slowly become toxic. What caught my attention was the way they spoke about it. They said something along the lines of "otherwise she would start to suffocate". And that unexpected personification never left my mind ever since.
SO, the Mine in tginf sufferers from a constant lack of oxygen, and starts to gradually suffocate if there's is no one performing the maintenance work inside of her. The problem is - she is toxic, thus none of her followers live particularly long inside of her. Which places her in a constant struggle to get herself the new ones. She lets some of her followers out on the road only for one purpose - to promote the service to her to the new travelers. Followers like that are all called Pr agents. Out of the three feudals, the Mine is the most reliant on others to survive.
Her followers are, you won't believe it:
Pr Agent 117
Tumblr media
Pr agent 121,
Tumblr media
Pr agent 124/178 (the number changes depending on the story route)
Tumblr media
*None of them lived long enough to meet the other.
I also made a voice claim post some time ago, you can check it out to feel the characters too
And Incomplete Character relationship chart :]

Akaashi Keiji x pregnant!reader - 502 words
Tumblr media
"I'm home," Keiji intones into the empty kitchen. He isn't surprised that he doesn't find you there, or in the living room either. Lately, your every spare moment has been spent in one place. He muses to himself how he might find the nursery arranged today as he makes his way down the hallway.
"Hey, I'm ho-" He stops short in the doorway, ice sliding through his veins. You're standing in the middle of the room, hands clutched tightly together, tears running down your face. At the sight of him, you choke back a sob.
"What is it? What's wrong?" He rushes to you, gentle fingers gliding across your forehead and down your cheeks as if to assess any damage. "What happened?" He continues to prod, "Talk to me. Are you hurt?" He's running his hands down your arms now, anxiously trying to meet your gaze as you raise a fist to swipe at your tears.
"S-sorry," You finally choke out, swallowing thickly. "I just-" You suck in a breath, then lift your other hand. Nestled in your palm is a very small, and now very wrinkled, shoe. "It's so tiny," You squeak out.
He lets out a huff of air, half disbelief, half relief. "My love," He cradles your face in his hands, chasing after tears with his thumbs, "Don't scare me like that."
"But look at it," You're starting to calm down now, drawing in ragged breaths and letting yourself lean into his touch. "It's just so little and tiny and our baby is going to wear it. Our baby's foot is going to be this tiny." Your lips start to wobble again.
"Yes," He agrees softly. "It is very small." Carefully, he extricates the shoe from your grip and sets it next to its partner on top of the dresser. "It's a lot, isn't it?" He's learned, through trial and error, how carefully he needs to tread when the hormones and heightened emotions start to get the better of you.
"Mm-hmm," You nod, and as he watches a fresh round of tears well up in your eyes, he draws you to him, tucking your head beneath his chin. "It's just starting to feel so real," You murmur against his collar bone as you attempt to press yourself even closer to him.
"I know," He whispers into your hair. "I feel it too." Nine months had felt like an impossibly long time in the beginning, but it's flown by. "You're going to be amazing, though." He runs a hand down your back.
You pull away with a snuffle, managing a watery smile. "Sorry I'm crazy," You say. He rests a hand fondly on your belly.
"I think you're allowed," He leans his forehead against yours, "Considering."
You huff out a laugh. "I love you."
He can't resist closing the short distance to press a kiss to your lips. "I love you too." If he told you, you probably wouldn't believe him, but he wouldn't trade moments like this for anything.

cho hyun ju x f!reader
Tumblr media
warnings: minors do not interact!! 18+. all smut. kinks are involved. pre-bottom and post-bottom surgery headcannons are mentioned.
Tumblr media
aftercare
hyun ju is the most attentive woman ever!
she will run you a bath, make sure you have your favorite snack and water nearby. she knows about your body and will remind you to go pee afterwards (no risk of utis in this house!)
there are times where hyun ju can be very clingy afterwards, especially if the sex was rough.
body parts (hyun jus favorite part of hers and yours)
hyun ju’s favorite body part of herself is her hands and her boobs. 
she put a lot of money into her boobs, and they came out so perfectly. you always remind her that.
hyun ju loves how strong her hands are, she loves the manicured looks she gives herself.
the ex-military woman’s favorite body part of yours is your legs.
she is OBSESSED with your legs. 
hyun ju loves having your legs wrapped around her waist, her shoulders, across her lap, anywhere on her body.
cum (anything to do with cum, basically)
hyun ju loves the taste of you. she will push you to cum multiple times just to get more of your taste.
dirty secret
if there was a scenario where you served in the military alongside hyun ju… you were definitely her barrack bunny…
she snuck you into her bed every. single. night.
hyun ju was possessive of you, nobody was allowed to have you except for her.
experience
hyun ju did not have much experience.
the only partners she had were back during her military days, before her transition.
however, she knows what she is doing with you.
there was a bit of trial and error on both ends, but you both learned each others bodies and have grown to please each other to the maximum.
favorite position
pre bottom transition: the. fucking. mating. press.
hyun ju loves folding you in half and ramming inside of you. your noises, your sweet uncontrollable noises, almost make her animalistic in the way she pounds deep inside of your walls. 
post bottom transition: scissoring
the sensitivity down there + your pussy kissing right on hers!!?? that pushes her to the edge so quickly.
goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)
sex is mostly serious with hyun-ju.
however, there have been a few times where you and hyun-ju had a good laugh over something unserious which might’ve happened. 
for example, the first time you’ve seen her naked.
your jaw dropped lightly. 
“how is that supposed to fit inside of me?” your face made hyun-ju giggle a little, reassuring you that it will fit.
hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)
hyun ju is groomed.
the carpet does match the drapes (dark brown)
however, hyun ju is waxed.
intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)
hyun ju is super intimate.
even if the sex is rtough, she will always say or do something which reassures you that she loves you dearly.
she praises your body, makes sure that you always finish first before her, and plays with your hair most of the time during.
jack off (masturbation headcanon)
hyun ju used to jack off all of the time in the military.
ever since she met you, she went down to doing it just once a month whenever you are at work or not around to take care of her in person.
kink (one or more of her kinks)
mommy kink. sorry NOT sorry. that woman is OBSESSED with you calling her mommy, mama, etc. one time you were in missionary below hyun ju when you accidentally called her that.
“fuck that feels so good, mama.” and that unlocked something in hyun ju. lets say you couldn’t walk properly for a week after.
auralism. sometimes she has to hold back from cumming whenever she hears the wet sounds your pussy makes with the contact of her cock (or strap if its post-bottom surgery).
somnophilia. this is on both ends, and yes there is consent always!!!!!!!
praise kink. which is connected to the auralism too^^^
location (favorite places to do the do)
all over the apartment that you and hyun ju share.
on the bed, on the couch, in the shower, in the laundry room!
motivation (what turns her on, gets her going)
praising hyun ju and basically being down horribly for her will turn your woman ONNNN!
calling her ‘mama’ will set off something in hyun-ju as well.
“you’re so pretty, mama.”
seeing you half-naked or fully naked will set hyun ju into a horny mindset as well if it is at night, and in bed together.
no (something she wouldn’t do, turn offs)
nothing to do with bodily fluids like ‘golden showers’. 
hyun ju finds that very gross.
oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)
the perfect 50/50 woman!
if you are giving her head first, there better be time for her to eat you out afterwards! 
everytime hyun ju eats you out, you always cum. always!
that woman loves tongue-fucking a few orgasms out of you at a time!
pace (is she fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)
hyun ju loves taking her time whenever you guys are having normal or lazy sex. 
however, do not underestimate her military strength and stamina. 
whenever you’ve been stressed or moody, she will fuck that stress out of you!
she will go super fast, at least going five rounds before you tap out.
quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)
hyun ju is never opposed to quickies.
quickies only happen maybe once a week before you go to work in the morning. 
however, she would prefer moments where the both of you have more time together.
risk (is she game to experiment? does she take risks? etc.)
i do not see hyun ju being super-interested in risks.
hyun ju isn’t opposed to experimenting, but i think she would rather stick to what you both know best <3
stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)
that woman could go a dozen rounds.
hyun ju’s military experience gave her stamina beyond comprehension.
sex with hyun ju lasts all night. sunset to sunrise. 
your legs and kitty are always sore afterwards :’)
toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)
post bottom surgery, i can see hyun ju owning a few vibrators along with yourself. 
the both of you use them a lot.
a few straps would be bought as well.
hyun ju will use it on you and on herself.
unfair (how much they like to tease)
mama is super unfair!
through her praise, she will tease you about how much you’ve been wanting her. 
“you’ve been waiting for mama all day, have you?”
“yes mama” you pout.
volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)
hyun ju LOVES noises (again, the auralism)
she encourages you to be loud. in the process, she might get loud herself.
the both of you have your own apartment with no roommates, so the both of you are vocal.
wild card (a random headcanon for the character)
whenever you have work in the morning, hyun ju lovessss engaging in her somnophilia. you give her your full consent of course. she loves waking you up by eating your pussy in bed, or entering you from the side. afterwards you go to work all happy and stress-free :D
x-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)
that girl dick is bigggg.
five on soft, seven on hard. 
she is a grower!
those boobs are so perfect as well, sitting in a way that makes you (playfully) jealous sometimes.
post bottom transition: hyun ju has the prettiest kitty :’)
yearning (how high is their sex drive?)
hyun ju and you have sex nearly every night.
that sex drive is highhh behind that pookie persona hyun-ju has.
you and her yearn for each other always.
zzz
hyun ju will stay up sometimes, making sure to give you (and receive) aftercare.
sometimes the both of you will stay up and watch a movie afterwards, falling asleep in bed and cuddling during that movie.

remus x hyper reader pleaseee where she’s golden retriever energy and he’s more black cat
thanks for requesting!
Remus lupin x reader who gives him a flower ✩ 772 words
cw: fluff, grumpy x sunshine
Tumblr media
Sirius likes to think of himself as a pretty sharp guy. He can tell when Remus just wants some quiet company, he’s learned the pattern behind James' chaotic mood swings, and – after a lot of trial and error – he’s even figured out what Regulus' barely noticeable shifts in expression mean. So yeah, Sirius considers himself fairly perceptive.
That is, until you show up out of nowhere, your head suddenly popping into the narrow space between him and Remus with your arm twisted behind your back, making him nearly jump out of his skin.
“Christ,” he mutters, a hand flying to his chest. “should get you a bell or something.”
“Hello, Sirius,” you grin at him, beaming like you haven’t just startled him half to death. “I’ll start stomping around more if that’ll help.”
You’re impossible to stay annoyed with – not that Sirius tries particularly hard. There’s something disarming about the way you grin, unapologetic and radiant. It’s endearing, honestly, how you make the effort to chat with him at all. He knows you’re not really here for him. Not when your eyes keep flicking sideways toward Remus like you’re trying not to look too eager.
Sirius suppresses a sigh, already feeling secondhand embarrassment bloom in his chest on your behalf. Moony’s in one of his usual silent moods today, the kind that comes with a permanent scowl and a drawn brow. You haven’t been seeing him long enough to recognise that yet, to know that sometimes he doesn’t want affection or words or even eye contact. 
Sirius is halfway through crafting an excuse to get him far away from whatever is about to happen, when you finally turn your full attention to Remus.
"Hi, honey," you say, soft as anything. Your fingers move before Remus can flinch or lean away, gently brushing a stray bit of hair off his forehead and away from his eyes.
Sirius watches with morbid fascination. He’s seen Remus Lupin do a number of things over the years. He’s watched him break up fights, endure full moon recoveries, and drink James’ horrible attempts at fancy coffees without so much as a grimace. But now? With your fingers ghosting across his hair and your smile all warm and unbothered?
Remus is blushing.
And not just a faint, dignified flush either – no, this is a full-bloom, down-to-his-neck pink, the kind that looks particularly unfair on someone who normally prides himself on his unshakable composure. Remus clears his throat, eyes darting to Sirius for one mortified second before you continue like you haven’t just completely dismantled him.
“Oh!” you say, suddenly remembering yourself. “I brought you something.”
Remus blinks. "You… what?"
You smile wider and reveal the hand you’d hidden behind your back, a small, slightly crushed wildflower. Yellow, with ragged petals and a bent stem, clearly plucked mid-walk or from somewhere inconvenient. Sirius squints. It looks like the kind of flower a child would press between book pages and then forget about for a decade.
“I saw it and it made me think of you,” you say, tone offhanded, like the connection between Remus and a half-wilted flower is the most obvious thing in the world. “It’s pretty.”
Remus stares at you like you've grown a second head.
Then, without saying a word, he takes it. He’s careful, absurdly so,  and before you can flit away again – because you’re already turning back toward the door, likely off to check on whatever it is sunshine people check on – Remus reaches out.
His arm slips around your shoulders, pulling you gently into his side.
It’s awkward at first, mostly because you weren’t expecting it, but then you melt against him like you were built for it. Your head tips to rest against his collarbone, just for a second, before you hum contentedly and pat his chest.
Sirius can’t believe his eyes.
“Be back in a bit,” you say, already halfway out the door again. “Look after it, please!”
The door closes.
There’s a moment of silence.
Remus exhales, the faintest sound of breath escaping as he starts fiddling with the flower. He doesn’t look at Sirius, he can't stand the thought of it. The pink is still climbing up his ears.
Sirius, for his part, stares at him like he's trying to solve a riddle.
“…You’re cuddling now?”
Remus grunts, still very pink. “Shut up.”
Sirius exhales dramatically and leans back against the couch. “Mate...”
Remus only half-hides the smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. He tucks the flower into the page of his book, precisely, carefully.
Sirius watches this development unfold and mutters, not without fondness, “You poor bastard.”

For ur hc, what do you think would happen for partners who are organic (e.g Crankcase) who don't have ports ect.?
now THAT is a question i hadnt thought about yet! in this hc, transformers would be sexually incompatible with organics so they wouldnt be able to have traditional 'sex', but that doesnt mean they cant be intimate!
Tumblr media
notes under the cut
-false cables need to be charged and false ports do not, both can also be equipped with fun extra features (like auto insulant fluid or being made out of a material that insulates, or physical things like vibration and levels of charge). if the port has extra features, it can either be charged beforehand or the user can charge it themselves with their own charge
-wire stimulation is also very pleasant, and many organics like the feeling of pulling/caressing them, so its a pretty common method of tactile stimulation. the only danger is all the moving parts around the wires (though that danger is part of the fun for some couples)
-a cybertronians natural insulant fluid is not safe for most organics to ingest, but luckily, its activated manually. usually, their mouths are dry metal. this means theyre free to kiss their partners without getting them sick! unfortunately, if they ever want their organic partners to help apply insulant fluid, then they might run into a problem. luckily, since cybertronians have been interacting more with organic species, there is organic-safe insulant fluid for sale. however, that doesnt mean its safe for ALL organics- ingredients list must be consulted first
-its more difficult on the organic end, since cybertronians have plenty of ways to stimulate themselves. not that organics dont as well, but organics can be kinda, well. wet. mechanics and wet do not mix very well. cybertronians would be fine, but the chances of shocking a partner are very much not zero
-mutual masturbation/taking turns is pretty common in mech/organic relationships
-a lot of it would just be communication between partners and trial and error
when it comes to sparks...
-organics can actually touch sparks, but instead of feeling physical like it would to a cybertronian, they would instead pass through it and act as something of a conductor. this is because (in this hc) a cybertronians spark has an opposite polarity to their metal, which results in that 'suspension' look, and them being able to hold and touch sparks. an organic conducting the spark back into itself would actually be the closest thing they could get to 'traditional' sex for a cybertronian, since it would technically be a charge loop. it just so happens that displaying your spark is THE most intimate thing a cybertronian can do, and very, very few have reached this point with an organic partner, so while it would be the most pleasurable, its extremely uncommon
-organics cannot sparkmerge or sparkbond since they do not have a spark
-conducting spark energy would also be pleasurable for an organic, but should not be done for an extended period of time, as it can be dangerous. it would feel somewhat like a vibration throughout the entire body, resonating from the inside out

There’s a lot of new witch activity happening on the site and something I need every single “baby witch” to understand is that this website is a squawk box of coal mine canaries with gas poisoning.
Not a single person here has all the answers, hell most of us don’t even agree on what “witch” even fucking means! Never let tumblr be your only resource. Read books, watch videos, find community, find your own answers.
I and many other people here are more than willing to answer questions but there’s a lot of power in discovering the answer through your own research or trial and error.

This turned out very long but here it goes
The first time Evan sees Barty on a manic episode, he has no idea what to do.
It's 4am on a Thursday, and Barty is sure he wants to jump naked into the lake.
At first, Evan is too asleep to make sense of any of it, and by the time he realizes what is happening and gets dressed hurriedly Barty is out of their dorm already. Out of the common room too.
He can't find Barty. He doesn't know what's happening or what to do. Evan goes to the lake and Barty is not there. He doesn't really think he'll jump, the water is almost frozen so it's definitely too cold. But Barty was naked, and is out here somewhere.
Evan looks into all the places he can think of trailing back to the dorm, and he still doesn't find him, so Evan does the only thing he thinks will help, desperate, his breathing too fast and his clothes nowhere near decent, he knocks on Regulus' dorm not caring a bit about waking up anyone.
"I can't find him" his voice is trembling, his hands too, and Regulus doesn't look surprised at all. Like waking up isn't even a bit inconvenient, like he almost expected it to happen.
So Evan explains everything that happened before this, explains how everything was good, better than it usually is, how Barty was all sweet as they laid together in bed. "Do you ever think about dying?" Barty had said then in a moment of disrupting the calm. Evan didn't think too much of it because that's how he is, Barty says weird things sometimes, but it doesn't have to mean anything.
Now he feels stupid for not looking too much into it.
"Barty is bipolar" Regulus says eventually as he gets out of the dorms with Evan trailing behind. How didn't he notice before? They have been in the same room for weeks and dating for months. "We'll wait until someone finds him"
"Can we do anything about it?" Evan asks desperately, he doesn't like the idea of waiting at all.
"No, Evan" Regulus stops so abruptly Evan almost crashes into him, his voice so cold he almost shivers "We can't do anything else right now"
So they wait. It doesn't take too long before Ms. Norris appears and Regulus stands to follow the cat. They find Barty trembling behind a tapestry, curled up on himself, hands on his head, hyperventilating. Evan is completely paralyzed as he watches Regulus take care of him.
Barty doesn't get out of bed for the next three days. Doesn't eat more than once a day if they're lucky. Doesn't talk.
And in that time, Regulus talks to him "you need to learn to notice when he's happy and when he is too happy, there's nothing you can do about it but at least you could anticipate it" he says "try not to overstep too much, he will get mean and maybe violent if he feels you're trying to control him, but you need to make sure he's taking his meds" he keeps going, not stopping for a beat like he has all of this memorized to his core "it's kind of trial and error, you'll get one thing right and the next two wrong but don't beat yourself up about it. Just know he doesn't really mean the bad things he says, or well, he does, but it's not like that"
Evan feels numb, like this isn't real. Everything was fine, everything was so good and now he doesn't know what to do with any of it. The only thing he's sure about is that he wants to keep Barty, and if that means taking care of things he didn't even think about, then fine. He prefers an ill Barty than no Barty at all.
He waits until five days after the incident Barty gets out of bed and takes a shower. He seems more receptive but still not ready to go to class or anywhere near big crowds. They talk and finally he gets to see a different side of him, a more vulnerable more sober one, the part that worries about being too much, about not wanting to hurt the people around him, about being exhausting. Evan reassures him every time that this is fine and he's not going to break up the relationship.
Evan reminds him that he loves him and after a lot of self deprecation Barty takes it. Sure, it isn't perfect all the time, but Evan wouldn't want it any other way.

ꨄ VOID STATE REMINDERS ꨄ
since i get so many asks on certain things here you go:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
1. you don’t have to focus it’s not a must, distraction isn’t a bad thing don’t see it as such
yes, you can listen to music if it helps you distract your mind from the 3d, distraction can be a great way to induce pure consciousness, it’s a myth that you need to be focused, if focusing helps you, go for it, if you’re bound to be distracted by your thoughts and imagination, immerse yourself in that.
2. You don’t have to follow bloggers and successor’s methods down to the minute details
yes that persons success story may look so effortless but you don’t have to do it exactly like them
yes that one method may have a million success stories coming from it but you need to understand that all those people did not follow the method EXACTLY, they tweaked some things along the way to make it more natural.
The key common denominator is that they all believed that everything they did was correct. They didn’t sit back up five minutes in to check that one method or that one success story for the hundredth time.
you also do not have to be in a certain position or stay still, scratch that itch, lay on your side or your stomach.
3. You don’t need anything but YOU
methods are cute but a little breathing some “I AM” affirmations and focus/distraction will have you in the void state if you believe it to be so. If you assume a lot of effort is needed, a lot of time is needed then that’s what will happen
you don’t need it to be nighttime, you don’t need a challenge or a method, you don’t need to saturate your mind for the whole day in advance, all you need is you.
4. Intent is instant, everything is effortless
You are the ruler of your reality, what you say goes IMMEDIATELY, if you intend to induce the void state your inner man doesn’t experience time or the 3d so nothing is stoping your inner man from entering the void this second.
If you assume it takes time it will. If you assume you need to be on a “void state journey” of trial and error to induce then you will {if only society didn’t instil a mindset that we need to put in effort to gain a result *deeeeeep sigh*} you don’t need to try and struggle with some challenge for you to result in inducing the void. Assume it’s all instant for you and it will be.
i think that’s all for now
thanks for coming to my TED talk, now go get your dream life!!
