HI ADA MY BELOVED!!! thoughts on txt mlt be into phone sex??? especially when they're away for tours and can't see you in person for a while :((

DAI ML <33

oh my goodness :(( alright i do have some hcs for this, here we goooo

warnings: phone sex, yeonjun: dom!yeonjun, use of petnames (baby), mutual masturbation, soobin: sub!soobin, use of petnames (bunny), beomgyu: sub!gyu, mommy kink, slight degradation, slight perv gyu, taehyun: dom!taehyun, mutual masturbation, kai: sub!kai, sending nudes

i see yeonjun as most likely only because i think he'd be the most shameless about it. if he's got a hard on he's calling you up immediately, breath hitching as soon as he hears your pretty voice on the other end, he can hear you on the other end, little moans mixing with the dirty words falling from your lips... awh, baby's gonna cum from her jjunie's voice~? how cute :((

beomgyu wouldn't tell you why he's calling, but it's only a matter of time before you hear the wet noises of his hand sliding up and down his dick 🙄 gyu isn't slick at all, is he? and when you point it out with such a condescending voice, how dirty he is for jerking off while on a call with you... it's got him even harder, whimpering as his hand pumps his dick faster, and you only laugh mockingly when he whines how close he is, what a fucking pervert he is for jerking off to you being mean to him..~

kai is always a little nervous before he calls you :(( but his dick is straining at his sweats and he wants so badly to touch himself, but he thinks it'll feel even better if you're talking him over the edge, won't it? cheeks flushing pink when he hears your surprised gasp at his confession, but he can practically hear your sultry expression in your voice when you ask him to send you a picture, and he feels so good he can only mumble 'sen' one back, please?' and when you agree with a coo, he's practically cumming already, fumbling to open his camera app

soobin would tug his sweats frantically up and over his hips when you facetime him, trying to conceal the fact that he was jerking off to the thought of you just moments before, but you can see almost immediately, cheeks pink and face beaded with sweat, eyes hazed over slightly... the sight is so cute that you can't help but smile, 's only the second day of your tour, bunny's so needy already?

taehyun would try to control himself, not even thinking about jerking off until it's been a week or two away from you... he won't even think twice about it when he does, however, telling you from the get-go exactly why he's calling and exactly what he wants. he's the type of guy who'd call you up at first and then ask you to facetime instead, wants to see your face when you rub at your clit and your pussy when you cum, and he'll set up his phone just as perfect for you...

Hi adaa !! Just wondering how you’re doing I feel I haven’t seen you in ages 🫶

hiiiii nia this is so sweet i havent been on in ages so thats why XDXD I had finals week last week and the new semester this week so its been busy asf but i have a yesstyle order coming in so that should be fun!! hru doing???

[dollfacefantasy]

omg your recent fic gave me an idea for a yandere-ish ada and leon and i was hoping i could request something for it. like imagine breaking up with them for whatever reason and moving out of their place and into an apartment. you maybe have a month of peace before your apartment is broken into.

none of your friends or family have space for you to sleep/stay and you obviously don’t feel safe in your freshly broken into home. so your only choice is to shamefully go back to your ex lovers house. and they’re both going “our poor baby:( this is why you should’ve never left us. we warned you of how dangerous it was to be on your own.”

and the whole time they’re coddling you, you are completely unaware that the two people you’re seeking comfort from are the same two who staged the ransacking of your home.

love love love your works and hope your new year is off to a good start!

OH MY GODDDDDD YOU’RE COOKING WITH THIS 🤤🤤🤤 i’ll add this to my wips list i just wanted to answer rn to let you know this had my jaw dropped, my mind running laps.

cause like you’re already sad about the breakup, moving is stressful in general, and now that you’re alone, you’re realizing how much leon and ada really did for you. and so when that starts happening, it’s already something scary, but in your state of mind, it just wrecks you. so of course they wanna take you back in. they’d never leave their baby out in the cold.

but once you’re back, they’re BABYING you. like you maybe thought they were a little overbearing before but now it’s a whole other level. they pick your outfits everyday, they make your food, they tell you when to shower and go to bed. and of course, you’re too emotional right now to worry about work, so they keep you home with them all the time. you never go anywhere without one of them by your side anymore.

and whenever you think about maybe complaining, maybe trying to loosen the restraints a little, leon’s there to kiss all those pesky worries away or ada’s hand is already slipping into your panties to get you thinking about something better. whenever you get fussy, you find yourself either grinding on a thigh or gripping one of your lovers’ hair as they eat you out. anddddd before, breeding you was something they just said in the heat of the moment. some imagined hypothetical to bring all of you to your highs. but now, leon’s pumping you full of cum every night like it’s his job and for the last few weeks, you’ve been occupied at the time you’re supposed to take your birth control. oopsies. it’s definitely not because they want you extra needy and dependent on them while knocked up and carrying their baby… no way…

Kunikida x Reader [Truth or Dare]

💌 Truth or Dare with the ADA: Kunikida's book of kissing techniques 💌  

Summary: A slow day in the office leads to a game of Truth or Dare. You thought it would be harmless fun but Dazai's seen the way you look at Kunikida and he just wanted to help.

Notes: My brain went "wouldn't it be funny if" so I had to write it

💌 Word count: 1,405 💌

It was an incredibly slow day in the office when Ranpo announced that he was bored. Nothing new. Although from across the room you could hear Dazai suggest playing a game since most people were lazing around anyway, well except for Kunikida. You didn’t mind playing a game but you didn’t exactly want to get in trouble. That’s when Atsushi chimed in “What about truth or dare? That’s fairly low effort! And then those who don’t really want to play can pick truth.”

Everyone else agreed since most people were participating only to amuse Ranpo, who huffed that choosing truth was lame and a cop out. It didn’t stop Kenji from choosing it though, causing the detective to groan. You had been quietly working away getting ahead for tomorrow as the game progressed. If no one wanted to choose you then you would happily sit and watch. Kunikida set another stack of papers down on his desk, catching everyone’s attention for a moment. He’s probably annoyed that most people were goofing off instead of doing their work. You wondered if he would play if someone chose him? 

“Dazai, truth or dare?” Atsushi grinned. He just thought of a good use of the game.

Dazai brought his hand under his chin proudly exclaiming. “Dare, obviously! Do your worst!”

Clapping his hands, Atsushi revealed the greatest strategy for the game “Perfect, I dare you to buy me chazuke!”

Chaos was unleashed as everyone was cackling. So many wasted turns of stupid dares like making Ranpo speak in the third person or having Junichiro turn all his clothes inside out. This one was actually brilliant. Dazai didn’t know what to say, he definitely wasn’t expecting that but he should have figured it would be something like that. 

Dazai smirked. “Fine. (Y/N), Truth or dare?”

You perked up from your seat not expecting to be called on. “Truth.” 

You heard Ranpo shout “Lame!” as Dazai thought for a moment.

“Oh I know who do you have a crush on?” He stared back proud of himself for putting you on the spot like that. You quickly glanced at Kunikida in your peripheral vision. His back was turned to you. Clearing your throat you needed to give at least some answer so instead you say. “You know what actually I meant dare!”

Dazai’s grin widened as if he was prepared for you to back out. “I dare you to kiss Kunikida!”

“What! You can’t be serious?” That bastard painted you into a corner. 

“Or you could answer question, either way you have to pick one!” Dazai smirked knowingly. He’d already known your feelings were for Kunikida. By the way he was wiggling his eyebrows at you it felt like he was trying to express that he was helping you move your crush along.

Kunikida stopped what he was doing pushing up his glasses. “If it’s consent you're worried about I’ll allow it. He never said it had to be on the lips after all, I'd hate for you to admit something you don’t want to.” He turned to glare at the brunette “Dazai stop making everyone uncomfortable. I don’t care if you guys keep playing but-ffmpfhff”

When Kunikida wasn’t paying attention you had walked up beside his chair and kissed him on the lips. You stormed out of the office before you could see his reaction. Your cheeks were burning as you paced outside the door.

Ranpo cheered as chaos once again consumed the office. He didn’t think you’d have the guts to do it. Of course he’s known from the start about your crush but he knew better to not get involved. Now this was entertaining. Kunikida stopped mid sentence. His heart was pounding in his chest from a simple touch of the lips. It didn’t even last that long to his dismay but it made his train of thought crash all together. He's admired your drive and work ethic but that was all. He would never fantasize about his coworkers out of respect but that chaste kiss sparked something.

Dazai was laughing as he leaned over his desk “Earth to Kunikida? How did it feel to be (Y/N)’s first kiss?” He was talking out of his ass but with the frazzled look on Kunikida’s face the blonde seemed to have believed him. Kunikida stood up smacking Dazai with his book as he went after you. The blonde felt bad for taking something that usually is very important to people. He was going to make it up to you.

You wondered if you should go back in or just go home. Looking at the time it wouldn’t make much of a difference. As you took a step towards the staircase you heard Kunikida call your name “(Y/N) wait. I wanted to apologize, I really had no idea.”

Ah so he figured it out. This is where you get rejected now isn't it? You’ve never gotten to see his list of ideals but you can’t imagine with 58 of them being what he looks for in a partner, well you doubt you could possibly match every one of them. Although you do wonder how many of the 58 you do meet. You let Kunikida catch up to you before you spoke. You didn’t want to be shouting about your feelings from across the hallway. 

“It’s okay really if anything it was Dazai’s fault so,” You didn’t meet his gaze opting to look at your feet. Honestly you were surprised that he even followed you out but Kunikida would be the type to let you down easy face to face. In that case you might as well ask. “So about the kiss, did you at least like it?”

He pushed up his glasses. “Your lips were tense and a little off center. It was also too quick for me to really feel anything but for your first kiss I’d say it was adequate. You don’t want to be too firm with your approach.”

You blinked at him. At least he didn’t hate it? Although it wasn’t your first kiss, but if he was making excuses for your bizarre behavior just now then you’ll take it. “I guess I just need a little more practice.”

He cleared his throat. He doesn't know why he feels the need to divulge this information to you. Maybe it's the guilt of robbing you of a proper first kiss. “I might not be the most experienced but I’ve studied the twenty four most common types of kisses and several techniques that one should master to be considered a good kisser.” He looked shyly to the side. If Dazai read that section of his journal he would never hear the end of it. “Of course it’s been a few years since I’ve touched those pages but I could help you if you wanted. Consider it penance for taking your first kiss.”

You know “Kunikida becoming your kissing instructor” wasn’t exactly on your bingo card for this year but if it means you get to spend alone time with him, you would have played truth or dare months ago. Guess you’d have to thank Dazai for this opportunity, maybe even Ranpo. 

You tried not to look too excited. “I’ll do my best.”

He looked relieved. Kunikida took off his glasses“Great, now relax your lips.” He took a breath to settle his nerves. Whether it was guilt, shame or embarrassment he’ll never know but there was a burning desire to kiss you again to make amends.

“Wait right now?”

He put his glasses in his pocket as he cupped your face. Seeing your cute expression would only cause him to hesitate. “We’ll start tomorrow but I wanted to show you what it’s supposed to feel like.” 

His eyes peered down at your lips as he leaned in delicately placing them on your own. You could feel the warmth rush to your cheeks as you melted into his touch. It was longer than your peck from earlier but it was still just a simple touch of the lips. The thought of Kunikida initiating the kiss made you lightheaded. As he pulled away you were breathless. It was a miracle that you could even stand right now.

“Well?” Kunikida cleaned his glasses before putting them back on. 

You smiled softly hoping that he couldn’t hear your racing heart beat “Looks like I have a lot to learn.”

out of all the books you've written, what are your top three favorites? 💌

wowzers this is the impossible question!! everytime i think of one to add another ten pop into my head. oh anna how could you ask me to choose this is so cruel.

definitely the poem collection in spanish, ‘poemas de amor y desamor.’ i love my native tongue and my home countries so much!! mario benedetti has been a presence in my life since childhood—most likely pre-dating that and going into my time in the womb—so, it only felt right to honor him by stealing his book and poems!

i’m cheating and saying that ‘the unbearable lightness of being’ (not on my list yet because i thought of it this morning over morning tea and my iron supplements) and ‘ada, or ardor’ are one and the same. i wrote ‘ada, or ardor’ about my husband. i truly could not tell you which part is about him. less incest. more sexuality for ada. very tomás if he was a woman.

the hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy (trilogy of five books) would most definitely be up there if i had never written ‘a fine arrangement,’ otherwise known as ‘duty and fidelity.’ this is a draft work that i’ve been working on for the better part of three years in my cr that is actually (somewhat) original. think pride and prejuidice. but not at all. very wuthering heights in the sense that the main character is plagued by visions of his deceased employee/affair/lover. she was his secretary. blown up by the luftwaffe during ww2. extremely tormented. very friedrich harding, except he doesn't dig up his lover’s corpse and have sex with it. maybe you’ll see it published here one day. maybe it’s already published in your drs. the world may never know what goes on in my sick and ugly little brain.

if you guys have more questions about my drs please!!! by all means!!!! i literally have nothing to do but answer these and study for finals!!!

anna my love thank you for asking this made my day. i am always so giddy to talk about my writer dr!

🌷- do you two like to spend time outside? or would you rather stay inside together?

— 😋 #ginsigOTP

GINSIG IS NOT CANON 👎🙅‍♂️🙅‍♂️🚫

🎠- what do you do for leisure/entertainment? do you go places, play games together, or simply watch a movie nd cuddle?

Ginsig: we go window shopping at the mall sometimes 😋or even just walking outside together. Laying tg and watching movies are a common occurrence though he has the softest throw blankets.

EXS: umm there's only so much free time in this line of work 😓usually it's just resting together or playing around w illusions (which i've gotten much better at 😋 trust)

🐰- how do you two feel about pets/animals? do you have any?

Ginsig: He's thought about volunteering at an animal shelter and plays with the strays but it's erm. a little busy w the ADA and everything. we are not in the market for pets </3

EXS: We don't have any, and probably aren't going to get any. Too busy + i alr shed enough. His family has two borzois and a cat though. We do not get along 🙅‍♂️👎 he has a horse though. she's nice.

🌷- do you two like to spend time outside? or would you rather stay inside together?

Ginsig: We try to spend at least one (1) day a week outside (besides walking to/from work). He's an indoor person but we need to get that vitamin D in <//3

EXS: He's an outdoors guy but there is so much to do even when we are not tossed out across Teyvat it rlly is just wake up -> work -> eeb. Do you know how bad it is I feel like I'm working a 9 to 5 meeting after meeting after meeting I am so sick of talking to these people these are NOT livable conditions for a kitsune. I need enrichment in my enclosure. Sometimes we spar but it's so bad bc I am not meant for this </3 I am not a fighter

🍭- who has the sweet tooth?

Ginsig: Sigma, definitely. He wld explode w/o his breakfast pastry.

EXS: I don't think either of us tbh. Maybe me slightly more </3

💌- how do you communicate while your apart? do you give eachother notes/letters? or do you text eachother?

Ginsig: We don't rlly need to since erm. Roommates. But he sometimes leaves sticky notes for me to find and it's very cute. I'll pack him a lunch w a little doodle. Other than that usually just text </3

EXS: Letters, usually, but it isn't a frequent occurrence. Despite being ranked above him, I end up following him around Teyvat while he plays errandboy. As long as no one figures out who I am 😋

omg can we just imagine ada with a puppy reader….. her voice is so alluring a little puppy would just turn to mush with her😵‍💫😵‍💫 i know ada would be obsessed

ughhh she would. as much as you love staring up into her rich eyes and melting into a puddle on her lap, she loves feeling your body go lax and watching your pretty little face grow sleepy while she pets and rubs you. her favorite thing to do is to scratch the base of your fluffy ears and watch as you can't help but lean into the soothing sensation. she laughs softly as your lids droop and strokes your cheek with her free thumb. she's cooing at you things like "my sweet little puppy girl. always so good for me, aren't you?" and you eat it up. you're totally spoiled rotten with her, but she wouldn't have it any other way <3

HELLLAAAUUUURRR BESTIEEE I'M BACK FROM MY GRAVE!! Okay but seriously I'm sorry for disappearing but the exams took a toll on me and then i went to my hometown to celebrate a festival and returned yesterday then fell sick so yea

Well do you like reading long and detailed fics or do you like things short and simple?? For me, i like it better if the fic provides enough details to help me visualise the scene well.

Lately I've been OBSESSED with friends to lover so what do you think about best friend jake/chenle/seungmin? I honestly need jake as a friend he's too cute

ALSO DID YOU CHECK OUT MANIAC??? ISTG IT'S SO GOOD I LOVE IT [NAUR BUT LITERALLY I HAVE HAD IT ON LOOP EVER SINCE IT CAME OUT]

~ada

Ahhhhh that sounds so stressful! I 100% understand bestie, I hope you did good on your exams and had fun at the festival!!! I feel the same way about fic lengths!! Like I love detailed stuff but if it’s over like 10k I usually won’t read it just bc I don’t have time for it ya know. Ofc I’ve made exceptions before (Sweeter than Honey, a Jisung best friends to lovers fic is 30k something AND I LOVED IT). And YES!!!! I’ve been in my Jake brainrot again, I rly think he mind end up fighting heeseung for my bias 😵‍💫 and HE WOULD BE SUCH A GOOD BFF TO HAVE like you can’t convince me he’s not hilarious. And Chenle as a bff omg pls he’s so real to his fans (STAHP TELLING ME WE’RE NOT GETTING MARRIED I LOVE YOU/j) imagine how real he’d be as a friend. Like point out a guy you think is cute “oh honey no, your taste has really just gotten worse over the years” like shut up and let me have a crush on a twig boy 😁 AGREED, MANIAC IS A WHOLE BOP IM IN LOVE WITH IT OMG

[firstfullmoon]

hi pauline! i sent you the ask earlier today about tips on how to read/analyse poetry, thank you for your elaborate answer, that really helps!!! tbh it makes me feel a bit better to know ocean vuong perhaps isn't the best entry level to poetry bc i was starting to feel a little stupid, reading the poems and then reading the analysis on the gradesaver website and completely NOT picking up the underlying symbolism kjhgfds i will definitely check out the podcast episode, thank you for the recommendation!!!! do you know poetry books that you would recommend to start out with? sorry if you've been asked this before! sending you love 💌

hi again!! poets such as ada limón or mary oliver are good choices for beginners i would say because they have a beautiful but accessible writing style with not as much layers upon layers of symbolism & such! definitely recommend bright dead things by ada limón, and her other collections are lovely as well - and any mary oliver (house of light and dream work especially - or devotions for a more complete overview of her work). would also recommend any hanif abdurraqib collection because he is simply amazing. OBIT by victoria chang is also a good collection for a beginner to see what poetry can do so it’s always a high recommendation from me. also look out for sanna wani’s and noor hindi’s debut collections coming later on this year!! two brilliant young poets who deserve the love
